#Home Assistant Docker and Wyoming Satellite

So I have Home Assistant installed on TrueNAS as a Docker container and I have a Wyoming protocol working for Whisper and Piper. They can be intergrated just fine and work. The problem is that when I go to add Wyoming Satellite I get this.

#

the device is added already this is just a voice config "helper" wizard

vast locust
#

That's what I was thinking (and hoping) but I do not see how I would do this.

hard valve
#

settings voice assistant. set up an assistant using your whisper/piper. then on the devices page you will be able to select that assistant

vast locust
#

I do and it is selected in the menu. The docs say that my satellite should say "Streaming audio" but I don't hear it.

#

hit the dots and add it

vast locust
#

oh my gosh

hard valve
#

the majority of assistants are moving away from streaming wake words so its hidden by default

vast locust
#

It's still not streaming audio but I'll try to run it locally to see if that fixes it.

#

I don't want to stream audio anyways.

hard valve
#

with a wyoming satellite that's how wake words work. you set up with "Open wake word"

#

wyoming sattelites dont have built in wake word detection so they have to stream to the detection connected to home assistant

#

esphome based sattelites like the Voice-PE run MicroWakeWord on the device itself instead

vast locust
#

Oh dang. I'm tried Openwakeword on the pi and it works fine.

#

Hopefully that becomes a feature in Wyoming Satellite. For now though it works!

#

I had to stop/start the satellite.

#

Thank you.

#

This is so freaking sick.

hard valve
#

yeah its likely some stuff will filter down. but the main focus of development is going to be on the esphome based stuff

#

wyoming sattelite is a good way to make use of old stuff laying around though 🙂

#

in any case, good luck with it 🙂

vast locust
#

Thanks. I'm not sure what esphome stuff is though lol. I'm familiar with a lot of software but not so much about Home Assistant/hardware.

#

I'm just getting into it all.

hard valve
#

esphome runs on esp32 microcontrollers

vast locust
#

Oookay I see. I saw those and they looked very attractive. What is the software running on those though?

Wait, Wyoming satellite on Pi has ability to use on-satellite Openwakeword. This eliminates requirement to stream continuously

#

Wyoming protocol describes three different setups for this part.

#
  1. Always streaming satellite
#
  1. VAD-enabled satellite
#
  1. Satellite with local wake word.
#

I use latter right now.

#

esphome like home assistant is part of the open home foundation

#

so its not going anywhere 🙂

Yeah I was a bit lost trying to figure out how I would make something like the voice preview with my pi.

green tartan
hard valve
#

depends on the use case and room etc...

green tartan
#

But having Respeaker Lite or SAT1 will give you pretty much PE-like experience

vast locust

#

But technically Wyoming satellite on Pi Zero 2W can use local wake word.

#

Although there's other caveats

hard valve
#

i have a custom build one too from an old pc speaker and a esp32 dev board.

#

theres no shortage of options when it comes to voice

vast locust
#

True. I just got no modding experience lol.

hard valve
#

the vpe is the "easy" option. at least for now

vast locust
#

Yeah I really want to get it but $60 is a bit much for me.

#

Actually is Euros so it will be more.

hard valve
#

yeah its good value for what you get but more expensive than a rpi that you had in the draw already 🙂

vast locust
#

Exactly.
