If you change the “- light.turn_off: led” line in the “on_timer_finished:” section to “- script.execute: reset_led”, then the led light should stay on after the timer is done.
I’m not sure how we could get the timer to shut off with a wake word. These devices only have one audio bus, which is used alternatively by both the mic and the speaker. While the timer sound is playing, the mic wouldn’t be accessible because the speaker would already be using the bus.
That worked great, thanks! I tore down an old google nest and wired the atom echo directly to the speaker. I’ll probably 3d print a case so that they can live side by side with the button accessible for timer shut offs.
Have you had any success playing music over them with music assistant? Right now it’s giving me this error with your yaml as well as the default from the esphome github
[15:15:33.900][E][speaker_media_player.pipeline:112]: Media reader encountered an error: ESP_FAIL
[15:15:33.901][E][speaker_media_player:326]: The announcement pipeline's file reader encountered an error.
I’ve tried wav, flac, mp3, tried lowering buffer size to 4000, tried raising it in increments as high as 40000. It was giving me the same error doing piper TTS at 8000 but raising it got that working, but still no music
Glad that worked!
I haven’t tried music assistant myself so I won’t be of much help there unfortunately.

hi jonwade92, I tried to add playback over other smart speakers, but I get just a short noise. how did you do that?

Is there a currently working yaml for atom echo?
