Hi, I ordered a Home Assistant Voice PE and have a Home Assistant Yellow with a CM4108032.

Is this enough power for the Voice PE? What will work and what not?

My processor usage is between 3 to 6% typically.

Thanks

That's fine, as long as you don't want to run everything locally. With HA Cloud it works fine.

With everything local you mean Whisper and Piper? I have a Home Assistant Cloud subscription. But I would like to use this local. Is the Home Assistant Yellow powerful enough to process Whisper and Piper, when I buy a CM5?

Using Whisper for speech to text isn't pleasant/useful at all on a CM4 driven Yellow. The rhaspy-speech alternative with reduced funtionality works better.
I haven't been able to try Whisper with a CM5 yet, but I wouldn't expect it to be a great experience either. IIRC an Intel N100 is the lower end of recommended hardware for local speech to text - and even that isn't great, just the minimal recommendation.
