Hi I just got my Voice PE delivered and am trying to set it up. It's powered on and doing the white twinkle animation, but I'm not seeing any Improv device discovered in the app.

If I manually go to the add page for the Improv integration it just says 'No Devices found on the network'.
I have a OnePlus 10 Pro, bluetooth is enabled.

#

Precise location permission is allowed for the app.

try looking for the PE's wifi AP by scanning wireless networks, if you connect to it and open a browser and go to http://192.168.4.1 you should be able to then add it your wifi

try re-flashing the device from here with the usb plugged into your computer https://esphome.github.io/home-assistant-voice-pe/ after flashing it should ask for wifi creds

Home Assistant Voice PE

Install firmware on Home Assistant Voice PE.

Oh hold on - I haven't got the wizard when I've added it to ESPHome. It's just added it normally.

#

Can I manually trigger the wizard somehow?

#

yes click

#

on the left once you are in the device page

Am I blind?

#

I have a feeling the unifi integration might have messed with it, I'll try disabling that entity.

#

do you have bluetooth on your HA server ?

crystal moss Dec 23, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

Nope

#

Ah yes, the button is there in the companion app.

#

Didn't realise it did the wizard stuff over bluetooth, thought that was just for wifi setup over improv.

#

Ok so it's only doing like half of the wizard, basically just picking the wake word and between already configured assistants.

#

Not giving me the step where I can get it to hand-hold me through setting up whisper and piper.

#

Just getting Pick Wake Word > Assign Area > Final Confirmation screen

#

And that's it

#

Not getting this screen:

#

Feel like I'm becoming a case study 😂

#

lol , sorry ... i'm up and down and not sat at my desk for long at the mo

#

have you got any further ?

crystal moss Dec 23, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

Yeah I'm sorted, just added Whisper and Piper manually, straight-forward enough.

#

Thanks for the help

Thanks for starting this thread - Just got home to my new Voice PE and have exactly the same issue, with a Google Pixel 6...

I'll try the steps above shortly and let you know how I get on
