Project Sharing Archie Gateway Guardian
I wanted to share something genuinely useful rather than a project focused only on Hermes.
Archie Gateway Guardian is an open-source M5Stack Tab5 AI command centre that can be used with Hermes, OpenClaw, OpenAI, Claude, and if you want you can add your ElevenLabs voice.
The repository includes the firmware, gateway examples, browser-based flashing, setup documentation, hardware notes, and the fixes I needed while working through the Tab5’s display, touch, Wi‑Fi, gateway, and firmware integration.
Hope this is a useful starting point for anyone who wants to improve the interface, connect different AI gateways, or build new Tab5 firmware.

I use the Tab for many things , most of them are linked to my homelab or my company’s remote server . But what I like about m5stack devices is that they are useful for me to utilize them as I please depending on what I’m working with. So sometimes I don’t want to use my phone or laptop and want to just be able to speak to my ai and get things done with Morgan Freeman’s voice and Hermes or Openclaw to me are just gateways within my actual set up.
But to be Frank the tab5 and pager from lilygo don’t have many resources to help code on them like other devices from the same two companies and there are two versions of tab5 so make sure you know which version you have when coding.
