Firmware update for ESP32-S3-BOX-3 crashes HA

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

Recently I bought myself a S3-BOX-3, I have seen several cool videos about using that device for a voice assistant.

So I purchased one and started the project to control the house with my voice assistant.

With a lot of enthusiasm I followed this guide ESP32-S3-BOX voice assistant - Home Assistant but like everybody else I got stuck at the WIFI settings.

Thanks to a post on this forum I got it working.

Someone told us he has to unplug and reconnect the device and select log / console for 17 times to get to the WiFi settings.

Lucky me I only had to do that 12 times!

After that I had to adopt it to ESPHome and then It should work right?

I looked at the box and said Oke, Nabu … nothing… I know, I don’t speak very loud so I spoke a bit louder again Oke, Nabu … nothing

Hmm strange!

I started debugging the voice assistant that seems to work.
Wake word was recognized, voice to text worked.

So I moved a bit closer to the box and said Oke, Nabu and there it goes its figuring out what to do.
It does not work yet but for now it recognizes the wake word.

This morning I see a firmware update for the box 2024.5.4, that’s cool lets update it. I started it and waited to complete… Suddenly my HA just died, it rebooted and started again!

Strange, I did the process again same behavior. It tries to install and after a few minutes it completely take down HA.

Anybody else that got the same?

Another thing is, when installing new settings into the box it starts compiling and everytime when it compiles Compiling .pioenvs/esp32-s3-box-3-059a78/components/esp-tflite-micro/tensorflow/lite/micro/micro_context.o it takes down HA.

Can someone help me out with setting this up correctly so I can continue with this project

HA is running the latest versions on a Hardkernel ODROID-N2/N2+ with 4GB RAM

yes thanks hero!

I have the same problem and I am beyond frustrated. But I’ll keep looking and trying anything I can find.

5

Did you try the fix above?

6

The fix above will resolve crashing HA when updating the device.

But the S3-Box-3 is still not working like I see on all those cool videos.

It will react on the wake-word but then every sentence or simple word like goodnight that should trigger an simple automation for turning off a few lights does not work.

When debugging the voice assistant everything works like a charm, but when I try to get the box execute them it wont work.

Maybe the update that is running at this moment will fix a few things.

Updated to the latest version, still no luck.

Box will react to the wake word, okay nabu, then goodnight.
Box reacts with could not understand that.

Yes, I tried the compile limit at “1” but sadly it crashed much quicker.

8

Could you share your config file withus?

Because when I added this

esphome:
compile_process_limit: 1

The problem of crashing was solved, it will take a lot longer to compile because it only uses one process now instead of all available.

Absolutely, Its running on an RPI4-8gb by USB directly into the box, no dock for the box. I have 6 devices in my ESP Home and this is the only one that won’t complete a flash. Thanks for looking at it.

I just did a “clean build files” and “install” in order to show you the log. I didn’t see anything other the i2s warnings. Also, it doesn’t always crash at the same place every time. Thanks again.

to be honest you got a lot in your settings!

What if you try this first and when that works extend your settings.

I got two Esp boards connected to HA, one Bluetooth board for my plants :slight_smile: and the S3 box.
Both got their own settings file, this is my settings file for the voice assistant:

substitutions:
  name: esp32-s3-box-3-059a78
  friendly_name: VoiceAssistant

  micro_wake_word_model: okay_nabu

packages:
  esphome.voice-assistant: github://esphome/firmware/wake-word-voice-assistant/esp32-s3-box-3.yaml@main
  
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  friendly_name: ${friendly_name}
  compile_process_limit: 1

voice_assistant:
  volume_multiplier: 4.0

api:
  encryption:
    key: !secret api_key

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
  manual_ip:
    static_ip: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
    gateway: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
    subnet: xxx.xxx.xxx.x

Could you copy your own into a backup file and try my version.

12

Interestingly, I just completed an attempted install after commenting out all the “sensors” section. I cleaned the build files before installing and lo and behold, it crashed at the same spot, “main.o”

Compiling .pioenvs/esp32-s3-box-3-0502c8/src/main.o

I will try yours next…
By the way, When I first got the box3 I was able to get the unaltered package installed and the box3 IS working. All these later attempts were to get the sensors working. (Just for background info)

13

OK, I tried your config (except the manual ip section) and it still crashed at “main.o”.
Soon I’m going to do a factory reset and see if that helps.

14

Did a factory reset.
Re-provisioned the box3.
Validated a bare bones configuration ymal.
installed it
Result: crashed at “main.o” again.

I give up…

15

Then Im sorry man I cannot help you out. Simply because I really dont know how.

In my case it wont crash any more but the thing does not do what I hoped it should do.
It reacts to the wake word and then it tells me it could not understand good night

Anybody out there that can help me out?

16

So, I was able to compile your YAML exactly as you had it. So, it must mean it’s your device, or setup.

17

Thanks for the help Sty. It is helpful because it’s pushing me to figure it out.
I know what I said but I’m not really giving up just yet.

18

Had the same problem. I run Home Assistant on a VM which I only gave 2gigs of RAM. Increased it to 4gigs and compiling worked fine.

I recommend giving Home Assistant more RAM. (maybe there is another process running which reserves some?)

19

So I deleted the previous build files, deleted the item on esphome and under HA integrations, and used the compile process limiter and I was able to use this: GitHub - BigBobbas/ESP32-S3-Box3-Custom-ESPHome: Custom ESPHome config for ESP32-S3-Box-3 with sensors and touchscreen

20

That’s certainly worth a try.
I think if this doesn’t work I’ll move my HA installation from the pI4 it’s on now to a pi5 and see what happens.
