Set Up Voice Assist Pipeline
To set up voice assistant, we would need two components to create the Voice Assist pipeline in Home Assistant.
Whisper: For speech-to-text
Piper: For text-to-speech
1: Whisper Addon
2: Piper Addon
3: And finally the entire Voice Assist pipeline.
You don't need to set up the Wake Word addon, as we will use the on-device Wake Word detection with the Micro Wake Word framework
So make sure to watch it and set up the Voice Assist pipeline
ESPHome - add device - create new device called AS:
copy and paste KinCony AS yaml file:
Note: replace wifi router's ssid and password by yourself.
yaml file download from: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6890
now connect AS to your Server16's USB port (raspberry pi or your own server)
click right top windows "install" button, then will show you install way, chose "Plug into the computer running ESPHome Dashboard" item
click "USB=JTAG" option that detected.
ESPHome begin compile and download firmware:
now you will find the AS device discovered on "setting" - "device webpage". Just click "CONFIGURE" button, assign a room to the device.
AS is ready.
if you speak "hey jarvis" command, voice assistant will show "listening", then you can say, such as "turn on light", "turn off light". just say the name of your device.
