Follow these steps if you have 3D-printed your own enclosure parts and now want to disassemble the device so that you can use your own parts.

Prerequisites

• Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition
• No 1 and 2 crosshead screwdriver
• No 4 flathead screwdriver

Disassembling the device enclosure

Step 1

Removing the rubber pads and the screws

1. Remove the 4 rubber pads (they are not glued in).
2. Take the crosshead screwdriver and unscrew the 4 screws.

Step 2

Removing the top enclosure

1. Lift up the top enclosure.
2. If you only want to replace the top cover, your job is done here.
   • You can now reassemble the enclosure with your own parts.

Step 3

Removing the PCB

• Unscrew the 4 screws that hold the PCB.

Step 4

Removing the speaker

1. Unscrew the 2 screws that hold the speaker.
2. Store those screws separately; they are smaller than the ones for the PCB.
3. If you only want to replace the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure, your job is done here.
   • You can now reassemble the enclosure with your own parts.

Step 5

Removing the mute switch

• Carefully pull on the mute switch and remove it.

Step 6

Removing the LED diffuser ring

1. Slide the flathead screwdriver underneath the LED diffuser ring.
2. Give the screwdriver a slight twist to detach the LED diffuser ring.

Step 7

Removing the dial and the center button

1. Locate the slot on the rear of the PCB.
2. Hold your finger on the center button to ensure the rotary encoder part underneath the button doesn't accidentally disassemble.
3. Keep holding the button and gently push the tip of the flathead screwdriver through the slot.
4. Proceed carefully and don't apply too much force.
5. Push the button out of the LED ring.
