I have a satellite in my kitchen and it works great for normal interactions, but inside home assistant I can't broadast to it using the new intents. Is this something thats just not possible?
#Should my wyoming satellite be able to be broadcast too?

I guess it's only enabled for PE-like satellites so far. What do you use?

I'm using this project: https://github.com/rhasspy/wyoming-satellite.git

Yeah I don't think Wyoming satellite supports that.
potent fractal
Is there anything I can run on a pi that does?
karmic briar
I doubt that, unfortunately.
I used Wyoming Satellite for some time, but quickly moved off, since it's pretty limited.

It's more unmaintained than limited IMHO

That’s a shame. Do we need to use an esphome based device if we want to build our own device now?

At least that's the way it is right now. Since PE is official satellite right now, it's maintained more.
That's why i stick to the Respeaker Lite and specifically Koala sat - it is using PE firmware, so has all the latest possibilities.

What does PE stand for?

What does PE stand for?
PE is NabuCasa Voice Preview Edition https://www.home-assistant.io/voice-pe/
If you want DIY, the best way would be buying Respeaker Lite board from Seeed and go https://github.com/formatBCE/Respeaker-Lite-ESPHome-integration or https://github.com/formatBCE/Koala-Satellite, depending on what you want

@potent fractal Sry for hijacking your post but are you able to control your mic gain, mic volume and noise suppression level through home assistant? Doesn't seem to do anything for me.
@karmic briar I saw you went kinda through all voice assists, did you seem to notice any improvements in terms of wake word detection with noisy environment using respeaker lite?
Cant' find any good reviews where they actually compare them... Not sure if it's worth the uprgrade right now (using pi 2w with 2mic hat)

Oh, Respeaker Lite is definitely better than 2-mic hat. It has AEC and NC capabilities. It hears me much better. It's not ideal, can't compare it to Alexa (especially if TV is playing loud enough), but it's almost there.
I think PE and SAT1 are also great. I have SAT1 dev kit, it's on par with Respeaker Lite

I see, thanks for your response, might need to try it out then

This feature has been working for the satellite since today.

Hey @karmic briar. I have the rectangular ReSpeaker Lite and am having great difficulty getting it to work with other example repos. Would you or anyone else have any time to support me please? Problem I have is there are quote a few yellow lines in the log when flashing the device, alot saying things are depreciated etc, although they are only warnings it still compiles. Issue I have is that once it is online, it does nothing, the logs shows its connected and has access to my wifi, but it does not react to any wake words. I have messed around with settings etc but nothing. I did try using your yaml file but it did not work, I think maybe you have different IO pins set on your board than the one I have.

This messages are ok. PE firmware is using some deprecated API, but it works.
Your problem is somewhere else

How it "don't work"? Respeaker Lite has only one set of pins 🙂 Do you have pre-soldered version with XIAO-S3 ("voice kit") or bare board with your own S3 module?

Hi, thank you for getting back in touch. Ok I have got further this time, I reflashed everything with a different config file from "The Home Automation Project" youtube video. I now get initial tune (sound) when it connects to home assistant. When I test a voice to use, it comes back in slow motion. Maybe I have a wrong frequency for my chips somewhere. At this stage the blue light is pulsing. When I try and say wale up word it just sits there and I cannot move on through the configuration process. Also when I check the device log I see this message "[e][Component:82]: Component respeaker_lite is marked FAILED". I am currently trying to Google this

Yes I do and it has dual microphone.

Which video did you use?
Did you bridge with solder USR and MUTE pins? I guess there is your problem now.
Check my repo README thoroughly: https://github.com/formatBCE/Respeaker-Lite-ESPHome-integration

No, I have not soldered any pins, I didnt think I needed to. I have used this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q_i8i1Veg4&t=1394s

Yeah, tutorial is good, but very outdated, and he missed soldering part (that's why he says there were compilation troubles).
Just go with README step by step - it's all there.

@karmic briar Thats ace, I will try it after work. Thank you very much for spending the time to help, its really appreciated.

@karmic briar This worked perfectly, all sorted now. Cheers again.
