Custom Wake word not working at all

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

Hi all,
I’ve been trying to get a new wake word going. Dammit Ollie is the one I’m using. I got it to sound OK in the training environment, and I have the .tflite file. I used Samba share to put it in the share folder. I have selected My new voice assistant to use with the Home Assistant Voice device.

The device won’t let me choose the new wake word, it only gives me Hey Jarvis, Okay Nabu, or Hey Mycroft.

How can I get my new Wake Word selected? I don’t see anywhere to select the .tflite file or my own wake word.

Thx.

Is the tflite you have created for micro wakeword? as the HAVPE only supports on device ‘micro wakeword’ and would need to be compiled into the firmware. Currently there is no easy way to do this.

Hi Rustica,
assuming you’re using Openwakeword, the .tflite file has to be put in /share/openwakeword and not just in /share.
If the directory isn’t there, you must create it.

Thanks,
It actually is in /share/openwakeword
and that is the only .tflite file

Still not sure what is the issue.

I created the .tflite by following the directions here: /share/openwakeword

The difference that I see to my setup and the instructions is that I’m using the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition

I have a ESP32-S3-BOX somewhere, maybe I should use that instead?

I figured that the Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition would be capable of anything the ESP32-S3-BOX could do… Maybe not.

Yeah, doesn’t look like I can pull this off. If you dig enough you can find where it says that it uses microwakeword, and that it is unrealistic for most people to train a new wake word.

I’ll see if I can’t locate the ESP32-S3-BOX-3B that I have somewhere, and proceed with that.
