Meta Muse Gadgets
Put your Muse on your desk — open-source hardware, SDK guides, and the prompts to run on them.
Muse Gadgets is Meta’s open-source hardware program: flash an off-the-shelf ESP32 board — or install the SDK on a Raspberry Pi — connect it to your Muse with an SDK token, and your agent gets a screen, a button and a voice in the physical world.
The devices below are made and sold by their respective companies — Meta doesn’t sell or endorse them; you buy the board, you flash the firmware. Start with the prompts, then pick hardware if you want a physical presence.
The hardware
Seeed reTerminal E1002
A colour e-ink display for the things you glance at all day — your Muse can put the morning briefing, reminders or a shopping list on it.
~$100 approx. street price
M5Stack StickS3
A pocket-size stick with a colour screen and a front button. Shows what your Muse is up to at a glance — the cheapest way in.
~$22 approx. street price
Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch AMOLED
A round 1.75″ AMOLED touch screen with push-to-talk, a speaker, a mic and a battery — a little Muse you can talk to.
~$40 approx. street price
AiPi Lite
A tiny desk buddy. Press the button to talk; Muse answers out loud and shows pictures on the colour screen.
~$36 approx. street price
Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition
Push-to-talk voice hardware with an LED ring that shows Muse’s status. The natural pick if your home already runs on Home Assistant.
~$60 approx. street price
Raspberry Pi 5
The Linux route: install the Linux Device SDK on a Pi (or any spare Linux box) and let Muse work with Home Assistant and your other local tools.
~$80 (2GB) approx. street price
Muse on your TVComing soon
An HDMI stick that puts Muse on the big screen — ask it to show photos, briefings or a shopping list on the TV.
Prices are approximate street prices (Oct 2026), set by the board makers — not Meta. Check the SDK repo for the current supported list before ordering.
Two ways to build
📟 ESP32 Device SDK
For boards: add a screen to show images, wire in audio in/out, or hook up sensors. One SDK config per supported board, flashed in minutes.
🐧 Linux Device SDK
For a Raspberry Pi or spare Linux box: run one install script, then teach Muse your own commands — sysadmin chores, Home Assistant, anything scriptable.
From box to talking
- Get an SDK token — grab one at gadgets.muse.ai and treat it like an API key. Tokens expire; if pairing fails, get a fresh one first.
- Flash the firmware — pick your board's config from the ESP32 SDK device list and flash it over USB. On a Raspberry Pi, run the Linux install script instead. If flashing fails, hold the BOOT button while connecting the cable.
- Pair in the Muse app — open Muse Settings → Gadgets, enter your SDK token, and the device should show up as connected.
- Test with a voice command — press the button and ask for today's briefing, or ask “what can you see on my screen?” to confirm it's live.
3 starter builds
🖥️ Desk briefing display Easy
You need: Seeed reTerminal E1002 (~$100).
What it does: a colour e-ink screen on your desk that shows the morning briefing — calendar, the one thing you must not forget, anything Muse finished overnight. Sips power, always on.
🎙️ Pocket voice companion Easy
You need: Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch AMOLED 1.75C (~$40).
What it does: push-to-talk voice satellite you carry around — dictate errands, ask questions, get spoken answers with a glanceable screen.
🏠 Pi home hub Moderate
You need: Raspberry Pi 5 (~$80, 2GB is plenty) + Home Assistant.
What it does: run the Linux SDK, then teach Muse your own commands — “goodnight” locks the doors and kills the lights, “leaving” arms the sensors. Sysadmin chores work too.
Troubleshooting
- Flash fails. Hold the BOOT button while plugging in the USB cable, release once flashing starts. And use a data-capable cable — many USB-C cables are power-only.
- Token expired. SDK tokens don't last forever. Grab a fresh one at gadgets.muse.ai and re-pair.
- Wi-Fi won't connect. ESP32 boards only do 2.4 GHz — point the device at your 2.4 GHz network, not a 5 GHz-only one.
- Mic not working. Check the hardware mute switch (the Voice Preview Edition has one that physically cuts mic power), and get closer — far-field pickup is limited.
- Muse doesn't see the device. Revoke and re-issue the token, restart the Muse app, and confirm the device is on the same network.
What to ask it
Morning briefing on the desk display
Show today’s briefing on my [e-ink display] every morning at [7am]: my calendar, the one thing I must not forget, and anything you finished overnight. Keep it to one screen — no scrolling.
Push-to-talk errand capture
When I press the button and dictate an errand, add it to today’s list and tell me out loud whether you can handle it yourself or need a decision from me. Read back the list when I ask “what’s on today?”.
Status glance
Keep my [status screen] showing what you’re working on right now: the current task, anything waiting on me, and one line on what you’ll do next. If you’re idle, show today’s next calendar event instead.
