#Correct way to adopt Voice PE into ESPHome

I wanted to stop my Voice PE from flashing at night when it's thinking (turning my room into a strobe rave!) so adopted it into ESPHome and added aditional options to make it instead rotate green counter clockwise while thinking.
That's worked fine until recent updates where it's no longer making sound with the Voice.Announce service (I see the blue light go counter clockwise but no sound) flashed with OG firmware and it works, take control again (leaving the standard yaml) and it stops...

SO that's made me think that maybe the standard yaml of basically this with extra substitutions isn't the OG firmware:

⁨packages: Nabu Casa.Home Assistant Voice PE: github://esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/home-assistant-voice.yaml⁩

SO how do I take control and get og funtionality (ignoring the loss of update notifications) so I can build on it?

I use a simple wrapper like this:

substitutions:
  name: dr-voice-pe
  friendly_name: DR Voice PE
packages:
  Nabu Casa.Home Assistant Voice PE: github://esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/home-assistant-voice.factory.yaml

esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
  min_auth_mode: WPA2

api:
  encryption:
    key: ...

you want to include the "factory" one, which includes the other one

Are you able to use the assist announce with yours after take control on the latest HA & ESPHome?

packages:
Nabu Casa.Home Assistant Voice PE: github://esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/home-assistant-voice.factory.yaml

#

Oh without the pre-announce. Mine works if pre-announce is on....

#

Mine just make the lights but no sound. If I'm on the standard install the sound works too... BUT then I lose my mods
