Muse Gadgets provides open source SDKs and hardware designs to link ESP32 boards, Linux systems, and home devices directly to Muse.
What the product does and how it is positioned
Muse Gadgets is an open hardware and software initiative that lets developers build physical interfaces for Muse using off-the-shelf boards and peripheral components.
The ecosystem features dedicated device SDKs for ESP32 microcontrollers and Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, alongside an official Muse Home Link device designed for local network connectivity.
Source-supported ways to use the product
Building push-to-talk gadgets using ESP32 boards equipped with microphones, speakers, and color displays to converse with Muse and view status updates or images.
Configuring a Raspberry Pi with the Linux SDK to bridge Muse with Home Assistant, execute system administration tasks, and operate local smart home devices.
Connecting color e-ink or AMOLED screens to show daily morning briefings, shopping lists, and reminders managed by Muse.
The documented workflow, where available
Select an off-the-shelf ESP32 board, a Raspberry Pi, or a supported third-party gadget equipped with displays, buttons, or audio components.
Retrieve an official SDK token from Muse to authorize the custom hardware gadget.
Install the open source ESP32 Device SDK or Linux Device SDK onto the target hardware and configure custom commands, sensors, or screen outputs.
Establish communication with Muse over Wi-Fi or local HTTP APIs to transmit inputs and receive audio or visual responses.
Muse Gadgets provides developers with open source code to transform DIY microcontrollers and single-board computers into interactive hardware interfaces. Through dedicated ESP32 and Linux SDKs, builders can connect actuators, physical buttons, voice interfaces, and display screens directly to Muse.
The codebase is made available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, allowing makers to adapt existing project examples or build support for entirely new hardware platforms and peripherals.
Checks to run with your own material and workflow
What was checked and when
Answers based on the source-checked product record
Muse Gadgets is an open source hardware platform that allows developers to create custom physical devices connected to Muse using ESP32 or Linux SDKs.
The platform officially supports ESP32 microcontroller boards and Linux devices, including boards such as the Raspberry Pi 5.
The device SDKs and firmware are open source software released under the Apache 2.0 license and provided as-is without warranty.
Muse Home Link is a hardware unit designed to connect Muse to local home Wi-Fi, allowing it to communicate with compatible devices and local HTTP APIs.
Developers can integrate buttons, touch AMOLED screens, color e-ink displays, speakers, microphones for push-to-talk, and external sensors.
