The Sentai speaker is a smart speaker that combines a microphone, speaker, presence and movement sensor, LED status lights, and a Zigbee hub for additional connectivity. It enables users to communicate with Sentai. It’s powered by a USB-C power supply that is delivered with the device. See the full hardware specification here.

Sentai requires a stable internet connection to function properly, as it relies on cloud-based services for its voice recognition and communication features. How to connect Sentai to Wi-Fi
Sentai’s not listening all the time. The microphone in the Sentai speaker operates in a limited listening mode that processes audio locally without recording, storing, or transmitting any data to external servers. Only after the wake word is detected does the speaker begin to send audio data for processing.
We currently support one speaker device per user account. We recommend placing this speaker in the main room of the home, in a corner, facing the room where users spend most of their time awake and engaging in conversation, reminders and tasks. The presence sensors are located in the front of the device, so it’s important they face the room.
