what are you actually trying to do here?
use the atom echo as a voice assistant and trigger playing music on another device?
visual depot
Hello @rotund saddle , that's exactly it, I want to eliminate the sound coming out of the internal speaker which is very weak and pass it to a speaker on Google or Nest
I already have atom installed by esphome but no matter how many settings I make, it either gives an error when installing or there is no sound on the speaker.
rotund saddle
I already have atom installed by esphome but no matter how many settings I make,...
do you care about the TTS responce or just the music?
visual depot
TTS would be perfect, as long as I can hear what you say it's ok
I don't think I answered clearly, the goal is to have the voice assistant respond
rotund saddle
using the stock firmware and if you use music assistant and the recomended local template you could have
"okay nabu, play the album xyz on google speaker"
the atom would respond "player xyz" but the music would actually come out of the speaker you want.
redirecting all audio, including responces is a bit more involved and has some issues
visual depot
Yes, when I ask for music, Google itself does this, what I need is to pass the ATOM and what it responds, to be answered on a Google device.
I see many codes that claim to have done this, but here I’m not succeeding due to having only half of the codes
exemple
voice_assistant:
noise_suppression_level: 4 # increase noise suppression to 3 -or- 4 from default 2 for better sound floor suppression
volume_multiplier: 5.0 # increase multiplier from 2.0 to 5.0 to give the mic a little boost...going above 5.0 with Atom Echo resulted in distorted audio for me
speaker: !remove # remove the default 'echo_speaker' entry so VA doesn't use internal speaker at all. NOTE: THIS ALSO DISABLES SOUND FOR TIMERS but LED will still flash on finish
on_tts_end:
- homeassistant.service:
service: media_player.play_media
data:
entity_id: media_player.name_of_a_player # <- this to be changed to actual media_player
media_content_id: !lambda 'return x;'
media_content_type: music
announce: "false"
rotund saddle
please format any pasted code inside triple `

rotund saddle
makes it easier to read
you will want to start with the stock firmware and instead of pulling the package getting the package data manually and then modifying it to include the suggested changes above
visual depot
...
rotund saddle
have you done much customising of esphome firmware before?
visual depot
...
...
I have, but nothing too complex.
This is the code I have as a base, without adding the Google column to the speaker.
...
this second code is one that i saw and should work but it is already outdated and does not upload
rotund saddle
the 2nd code you have is using the old firmware as a base which no longer compiles
that cant be used
visual depot
Well, now what I've been trying to see was if I could connect the two, but without success, of course.
rotund saddle
I might have to get my echo out and have a play with this
visual depot
It's amazing, I've seen some videos with this and it gives you a lot of freedom
rotund saddle
remember if those videos are are older then about 3 or 4 months they are using older firmware which no longer works.
ill have a look at this, because it has given me an idea for something. howeveer its gunna take me some time to set up
visual depot
rotund saddle
yeah i think it was in december it all changed
visual depot
see some examples, they had problems and had to update but what is certain is that it works
rotund saddle
yeah i am sure, and you are not the only one. i am gunna see if i can make a friendly way of doing it
rotund saddle
will ping you if/when i have any luck
rotund saddle
@visual depot
here is an example of it functioning
https://pastebin.com/sfLxpZZu
you will need to replace the XXXX's in the subsitution and the encyption key in the api section with yours obviously
i am going to try and make it a bit easier to implement from stock firmware but adapting that should work for now
you will need to give the give action execute permissions in most assistant. in the esphome integration hit the configure button next to the device and tick the allow to perform actions option
rotund saddle
I am working on making a friendly version
rotund saddle
yoyo
visual depot
change in the externanal media player?
on_tts_end:
- homeassistant.action:
action: media_player.play_media
data:
entity_id: ${external_media_player}
media_content_id: !lambda 'return x;'
media_content_type: music
announce: "false"
rotund saddle
change in the externanal media player?
on_tts_end:
- homeassistant.action:...
had to remove the `media_player" line from the voice assistant section too
visual depot
Sorry, I don't understand, my son is right next to me distracting me xD
calm down now. I keep the original code or do a new installation
rotund saddle
i suggest you start fresh
can delete the device from the builder then readopt it with a fresh firmware install
visual depot
ok, but the install voice the https://esphome.io/projects/?type=media or the intalacion https://esphome.io/projects/?type=media
rotund saddle
yeah voice assistant firmware for the atom echo
you will want to delete the device from your esphome builder so you can readopt it as a fresh device
visual depot
rotund saddle
can skip that
visual depot
ok now wsphome builder?
rotund saddle
you should be ablee to adopt the device in the builder
visual depot
rotund saddle
will take a few mins
visual depot
okok
rotund saddle
this will give it a fresh adopted install
visual depot
This should take about 30 minutes if this is what has been happening
rotund saddle
whilst its going you can delete the the device from the esphome integration in another tab
rotund saddle
This should take about 30 minutes if this is what has been happening
30 minutes? what are you running HA on?
visual depot
nothing special but this is the version, other people have made the same comment
I don't have anything to delete here
rotund saddle
visual depot
I've already erased both sides
rotund saddle
ok great
rotund saddle
once all the esphome side has been done you should be able to readd if it doesnt auto pop up it then you can restart HA at that point
yeah it takes a little while to compile all the stuff ready to prepare for a new device
visual depot
the installation I had was clean but now it's running
rotund saddle
subsequent flashing is alot quicker as most stuff is precompiled at that point
visual depot
I thought that after resetting ATOM it wouldn't install any of this
the first time I didn't have any of this
what I'm doing now is creating an atomM5 but with an esp32 and a micro, I already have the code almost correct
visual depot
yah
It's been like this but everything is ok
rotund saddle
probably not much left
visual depot
I believe not
It's already in W, it must be right
What will be the next step?
@rotund saddle ======================== [SUCCESS] Took 1497.17 seconds ========================
rotund saddle
ok now in the builder hit "edit" on the device to open its yaml config
visual depot
ok

i think that looks right
visual depot
I think this is it
rotund saddle
hit save then install then wirelessly
will need to recompile a couple of things but not alot
rotund saddle
yeah now you can readd the device to the esphome integration. hopefully it should have auto popped up
if not you can restart HA and it shoudl pop up. or you can manually at it via ip in the esphome integration
then once its added you neeed to give it permission to execute actions so it can play to the other media player
rotund saddle
boom
make sure the permission is set, sometimes it works randomly when its not set but then stops until you set the permission
visual depot
I had already gone to give authorization before testing, I had already linked to your post on github with the explanation
rotund saddle
nice
visual depot
It's really good and much simpler!
rotund saddle
i cannot guarantee to you that the repo will stay up to date on bugfixes and compatability with new esphome versions.
but ill do what i can if something breaks
visual depot
Thanks 🙂 You'll see that a lot of people will want this.
I have to find a flow or something so that she can activate the microphone again, sometimes she answers with a question and for that we have to say "ok nabu" again.
By the way, is it easy or difficult to add another name to call her?
rotund saddle
back and forth communication is not possible with voice satellites... YET. this functionality is coming soon
microwaveword supports: okay nabu/ hey jarvis / hey mycroft / alexa
if you would prefer one of the others i can show you how to switch to them
there are some other models on other repos too but not a huge amount.
microwakeword is pretty new in the grand sceme of things
visual depot
I thought we could choose a name, but I'll research it later. What you did was really great.
As for the response part, I'm going to make a trigger to activate it again after entering inactive mode, so if there is another response, it allows it.
rotund saddle
the support for it is coming very soon. i hope in 2025.4 but i am not 100%
visual depot
oh that's a lot. the community has done a good job
rotund saddle
I thought we could choose a name, but I'll research it later. What you did was r...
totally custom name require making a model to recognise it. whilst this was semi easy to do with openwakeword (which is no longer used) the new microwakeword is a bit harder
btw i recomend a voice-pe for voice stuff in the future if you want a better device. it has a 3.5mm line out too if you want to plug it into a bigger speaker
the atom echo is fine for learning and dev but it is a little limited
rotund saddle
ah yeah i have some of those microphones. i was building a custom smart speaker months ago but i shelved it when the voice-pe was close and just got that instead
rotund saddle
remember alot of that is outdated. voice and voice satellites have been updated ALOT and alot of methods have changed
as for a concept idea its great but alot of specifics will have to be changed now
visual depot
This is the problem, sometimes I want to install and it just gives errors
rotund saddle
yeah, a lot of the calls have changed how they work now you may have to understand what they are doing at the steps and then look up how to do it correctly now in the documentation
in any case, good luck
