ive created a thread to save keep spamming the main channel 🙂

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:34 AM

#

😄

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:34 AM

#

have you used ws812s with esphome before?

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:35 AM

#

WLED

#

which i think is similar?

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:36 AM

#

kind of , sort of ... but not really 🤣

#

heres the base code you need to add to get the lights in the config

#

light:
  - platform: esp32_rmt_led_strip
    rgb_order: GRB
    pin: GPIO13
    num_leds: 30
    rmt_channel: 0
    chipset: ws2812
    name: "My Light"
    id: led

#

obvs change gpio and number of leds

#

then tag this on the end

#

    effects:
      - pulse:
          name: "Slow Pulse"
          transition_length: 250ms
          update_interval: 250ms
          min_brightness: 50%
          max_brightness: 100%
      - pulse:
          name: "Fast Pulse"
          transition_length: 100ms
          update_interval: 100ms
          min_brightness: 50%
          max_brightness: 100%

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:39 AM

#

ooh

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:40 AM

#

the I of ID and the e of effects line up

#

if that makes sense

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:40 AM

#

light:
  - platform: esp32_rmt_led_strip
    rgb_order: GRB
    pin: GPIO35
    num_leds: 30
    rmt_channel: 0
    chipset: ws2812
    name: "My Light"
    id: led
    effects:
      - pulse:
          name: "Slow Pulse"
          transition_length: 250ms
          update_interval: 250ms
          min_brightness: 50%
          max_brightness: 100%
      - pulse:
          name: "Fast Pulse"
          transition_length: 100ms
          update_interval: 100ms
          min_brightness: 50%
          max_brightness: 100%

#

How does it know which effect to do?

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:41 AM

#

ive not got to that bit yet ... 😄

#

i'm old and slow and it's almost 2am

#

these are examples of where to put them. ignore the media player parts

#

on_listening:
    - homeassistant.service:
        service: media_player.play_media
        data:
          media_content_id: media-source://media_source/local/vad2.wav
          media_content_type: music
          entity_id: media_player.colins_voice
    - light.turn_on:
        id: led
        blue: 100%
        red: 0%
        green: 0%
        effect: "Slow Pulse"

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

oooohh

#

i get it

#

that makes sense

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

these are all in the voice_assistant: block

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

thats awesome

#

The light part isnt right?

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:45 AM

#

aghhhh .... your using arduino framework i'm guessing

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:45 AM

#

i have no idea

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:45 AM

#

it'll say at the top of your yaml

#

where it defines the board etc

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:48 AM

#

esphome:
  name: esp32-mic-speaker
  friendly_name: esp32-mic-speaker
  on_boot:
     - priority: -100
       then:
         - wait_until: api.connected
         - delay: 1s
         - if:
             condition:
               switch.is_on: use_wake_word
             then:
               - voice_assistant.start_continuous:

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:48 AM

#

if it is , then you will need to use noepixel and not rmt light component which is here https://esphome.io/components/light/neopixelbus its similar setup

#

will be below that bit

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:49 AM

#

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: esp-idf
    version: recommended

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:50 AM

#

hmmm the light should be ok then

#

were you getting an error

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:51 AM

#

no but I dont have a light setup to try yet, gotta solder a header onto a strip and such, done really feel like soldering more today lol

#

might do it tomorrow though

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:52 AM

#

ohhh when you said the light part isn't right... i thought you'd got an error lol

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:52 AM

#

oh i said that?

#

i didnt mean to lol

#

no i didnt try it yet

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:52 AM

#

ok in that case... ignore the neopixel bus bit 😄

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:53 AM

#

alrighty ill try out the LEDs tomorrow, I really hope the ram increase will fix my issue

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:53 AM

#

and the last bit is

  on_stt_vad_end:
    - light.turn_on:
        id: led
        blue: 100%
        red: 0%
        green: 0%
        effect: "Fast Pulse"
  on_tts_start:
    - light.turn_on:
        id: led
        blue: 100%
        red: 0%
        green: 0%
        brightness: 100%
        effect: none

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:53 AM

#

and thats for when its responding

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:53 AM

#

so thats everything to get a light working , you can then tweak it

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:54 AM

#

and im guessing just the GPIO pin will be the data pin to the leds

#

then gotta get common grounds and stuff

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:54 AM

#

when i run mine with whisper on baseint8 its using 18% of 8gb ram and 20% cpu

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:54 AM

#

damnnnn

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 1:55 AM

#

but thats on a fresh install of HA

#

nothing else running

#

and thats only whilst it's processing the voice command

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 1:58 AM

#

what are you using for mic sensitivity/volume settings? mine has a really hard time understanding me 90% of the time

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 2:07 AM

#

supression 1 vol 4

#

but to be honest i've got them set at all different levels on different builds, ive not really had any issues no matter what the setting

#

have you got auto_gain: in the config ?

#

did you remember to turn off the audio recording ? and restrt HA after

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 2:16 AM

#

I removed the audio saving directory from config

#

the speaker fart noise is electrical interference

#

ill direct solder it all when im done prototyping

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 2:20 AM

#

try removing the auto_gane from your config and slo remove the whole debug config from congiguration.yaml and restart HA otherwise it will still be trying to capture the audio and may cause problems

#

*gain

#

right too tired to type... need sleep 🙂 ... i'll catch you tomorrow if you are about... i say tomorrow .. i'll be up in 4 hours 🙂

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 2:21 AM

#

auto_gain: 31dBFS

#

do I just set it to off?

#

done

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

just comment the line out

hot flax Jan 7, 2024, 2:24 AM

#

done

fringe beacon Jan 7, 2024, 6:47 AM

#

did you get it working any better ?

hot flax Jan 12, 2024, 1:07 AM

#

fringe beacon did you get it working any better ?

just got the ram today, turns out i did have 16gb the whole time.

#

so my ram wasnt actually maxing out..

#

got 128 now though i doubt it will make a difference

hot flax Jan 12, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

still slow and gotta say the wake word multiple times to activate it

fringe beacon Jan 12, 2024, 7:49 AM

#

try making a custom wakeword to see if that reacts any differently

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/create_wake_word/#to-create-your-own-wake-word

hot flax Jan 12, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

I will but also just picked up an atom echo
