The devs monitor the willow Discord channel and are very helpful. I posted the question there.

@jazzmonger. Which channel? I only see 3 text channels, general, off-topic, experimental-playground.
General Channel.
Works really well. Moved to Community Guides.

Changing from English to Norwegian language worked well, with one exception; Willow now receives Norwegian text strings (replies) but when reading the text out loud it does it with an English accent. How can I get the Willow TTS server to use the right language when speaking?
I posted there recently. It’s still active!
Did you figure this out? I assume you meant that you want Norwegian spoken with a Norwegian accent?
Ah, that link gave me an invite - thanks. Sorry - missed the link in the OP.
Discord looks like the best place to find out about updates. Could you add a bit to your original guide about how to upgrade the Espressif Box?
Bo, i did not fiure it out - yet.
By the way, this problem is not in anyway related to the Norwegian language. It will be the same with any non-english language.
Do you mean Upgrade the Box3 to the latest Willow release?
Yes. Do we just reflash it?
Bought two Box-3’s and have one running Willow and one using HA directly (Wyoming). Neither are really usable though.
Willow is a bit funny in that half the time after it wakes up and plays the chime it immediately returns with “I heard DING”. Well, I guess that’s true.

If anyone in the UK is still looking for a Box-3 these people seem to have plenty:
I think it’s a new startup, but it is legit - I’ve bought several.
It’s a good idea to switch off the “wake confirmation tone” in the web UI.

Hello! Is there a possibility to assign certain clients to certain rooms in HA? Atm I have to specify the room I’m in to have it work. Thx!
Just a note to say that the public WIS was no longer available today.
Not clear whether or not this is a temporary problem. The Developer has been MIA for some time.
Another note to confirm that the Willow Inference Server has closed down.
You can still build your own, though. Everything you need is on Github.
Edit: Mine has spoken its first words: “It’s ten past three…” Aw. 
Pro tip to anyone wanting to try this: use Ubuntu 22.04 - some of the scripts don’t work with later versions.
Just heard more about the closure of the Willow Inference Server. Apparently it’s creator, Kristian Kielhofner, has died unexpectedly. Very sad news.
