Really confused about wyoming satellite

[old nest]

I'm trying to set up voice in home assistant and everywhere in the documentation it talks about setting up this wyoming protocol stuff......but then I see it is ALL archived on github. What gives? Did someone get mad or something?
I am having a hard time getting it working perfectly because some things don't work here and there but because it's archived, I can not post anything on github.

"wyoming protocol" and "wyoming sattelite" are not (although related) the same thing.
what exactly are you trying to do and what do you have so far?

ive got home assistant set up on a pi4, offloading voice assistant to a local ollama, whisper, and piper on another machine. then on another pi3 i have that wyoming satellite set up and it kinda works.....but it seems to have trouble with the wake word. Using ok-nabu.

Problem is it can't be interrupted. So if it decides to drone on and on about something I can't tell it to stop. Maybe I'm just not finding the right documentation but there has to be a way to do that. Also I can't seem to figure out how to set a custom wake word for openwakeword. i placed the files in /share/openwakeword as the docs state, but they never show up in settings to select.

try replacing Wyoming satellite with the newer Linux Voice Assistant project.
It is technically still in "experimental" stage. however a lot of people have had great success with it.
its newer and more functional.
it uses the ESPHome protocol which means its easier for it to keep feature parity with ESPHome based voice satellite devices.
for wakeword it supports both OWW and MWW models.

Thanks, I'll look at using that instead. I wasn't finding any documentation on it and thought it may be too new to attempt, when i have no prior knowledge on how to set any of this up.

And LVA is currently in the works, maybe if you wait 1-2 weeks or if you wanna beta-test, you'll probably get a better experience...
If you still want to use it, dont use current main branch, since there is a bug.

i tried and tried and lva will not work. it runs, but never picks up any audio. Back to wyoming-satellite which actually works. Besides, looke like developement on LVA is pretty much dead. No releases in 4 months.
