Hey guys

Just want to know what the best hardware is to do voice (incl custom wakeword) over Ethernet (no WiFi)

AND a suitable Omni directional conference room usb mic for noisy environments would be.

RPI 3b+ running ESPHome?

Mic??

I run a ouple of these and they have been great. I don’t use them for Voice but that would be as easy as wiring up an I2S microphone such as this.

Raspberries do not run ESPHome.

4

The Pico can but it doesn’t have Ethernet. I’d stick with an ESP myself, such as the Olimex above.

How was this done?

Using the process shown here. ie: the link that was where you got your screenshot from. The RPi in this case is NOT running HA, nor ESPhome.
