Kalliope
Kalliope is a modular always-on voice controlled personal assistant designed for home automation. Kalliope is based on audio input recognition, so it recognize an order pronounced by the user and then execute actions attached to the order.
You can create your own Kalliope bot, by simply choosing and composing the existing modules without writing any code. But, if you need a particular module, you can write it by yourself and add it to your project. You can also propose it to the community.
Kalliope can run on all Linux distribution including a Raspberry Pi and it's multi-lang. The only thing you need is a microphone.
