An electronic device, comprising: a first upper portion with a first internal surface having a first attachment structure and a first external surface that extends beyond the first internal surface in a direction opposite the first attachment structure; a second base portion with a second internal surface having a second attachment structure and a circular opening, the second base portion being configured to be placed on a surface of a smart home or media environment, when in use; one or more speakers at the first upper portion, wherein the one or more speakers of the first upper portion are contained and concealed in the second base portion, when the first upper portion and the second base portion are in a joined position, and wherein the second base portion has a porous or acoustically transparent wall to allow sound waves generated by the one or more speakers to penetrate and thus to be heard beyond the second base portion; one or more microphones at the first upper portion; an array of full color LEDs at the first upper portion; and an power supply connector at the second base portion configured to couple to a power supply for the electronic device; the first and second internal surfaces having compatible shapes that permit the first upper portion and the second base portion to be moved from a separated position to the joined position by movement of the first internal surface through the circular opening of the second portion, such that when the first upper portion and the second base portion are in the joined position, the first and second internal surfaces form a nested arrangement that allows for interaction between the first and second attachment structures (202, 212) and the first portion abuts the second portion; the first and second attachment structures (202, 212) being configured to form a secure but separable connection to one another when the first upper portion and the second base portion are in the joined position; the first upper portion and the second base portion being configured to be joined securely and separated through manual human manipulation of one or both of the first portion and the second portion to move the first and second portions between the separated and joined positions. a first upper portion with a first internal surface having a first attachment structure and a first external surface that extends beyond the first internal surface in a direction opposite the first attachment structure; a second base portion with a second internal surface having a second attachment structure and a circular opening, the second base portion being configured to be placed on a surface of a smart home or media environment, when in use; one or more speakers at the first upper portion, wherein the one or more speakers of the first upper portion are contained and concealed in the second base portion, when the first upper portion and the second base portion are in a joined position, and wherein the second base portion has a porous or acoustically transparent wall to allow sound waves generated by the one or more speakers to penetrate and thus to be heard beyond the second base portion; one or more microphones at the first upper portion; an array of full color LEDs at the first upper portion; and an power supply connector at the second base portion configured to couple to a power supply for the electronic device; the first and second internal surfaces having compatible shapes that permit the first upper portion and the second base portion to be moved from a separated position to the joined position by movement of the first internal surface through the circular opening of the second portion, such that when the first upper portion and the second base portion are in the joined position, the first and second internal surfaces form a nested arrangement that allows for interaction between the first and second attachment structures (202, 212) and the first portion abuts the second portion; the first and second attachment structures (202, 212) being configured to form a secure but separable connection to one another when the first upper portion and the second base portion are in the joined position; the first upper portion and the second base portion being configured to be joined securely and separated through manual human manipulation of one or both of the first portion and the second portion to move the first and second portions between the separated and joined positions.
