Google Voice AIY , Snips & Home Assistant

Configuration
1

I want to get the Google Voice Hat AIY to work on the RPi running Hassio

tried following these instructions from git hub https github.com/macbury/snips-aiy

cd /tmp
git clone https github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian git
cd aiyprojec ts-raspbian/

sudo configure-driver sh
sudo install-alsa-config sh

first three line works as expected configure driver did not tried with and without Sudo change directory to scripts where the the scripts are actually stored

but always get same result
“-ash: sudo: not found”
not always sudo, would be whatever the first word typed in the command line

Is it possible to get Voice Hat working on the same Rpi as Hassio is installed on?
PS don’t want Google to work just the hardware and use it for SnipsAI

Did you ever have any luck? I’ve been reading about Snips and was thinking about doing the same thing with my AIY Voice kit.

Bump.

I’m in the same spot. I built the AIY voice kit. Found it interesting, but not excited about Google being connected to my house like that. Put Hassio on the pi, and now would like to get the speaker, mic, and button connected to Snips. But everything I’ve found for AIY drivers requires Raspbian. I’d rather not have to go back since most of the development going on now is through Hassio.

I was able to use the following installer for AIY drivers on a raspbian device that’s running Rhasspy
https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi but I haven’t been able to get them to work on hassio. The dev is open to supporting hassio images if there’s enough interest.

Has there been any progress getting the AIY Voice Hat to wort in hassos? I’d like to get the Pi 4 I’m using for Home Assistant to be an assist microphone for Wyoming Protocol. Having the speaker would be a bonus.

Yes it’s simple to get working. Install the drivers from here, as mentioned above:

And follow the instructions here to install:

Just replace with the google speaker and mic when relevant.

I have it up and running, although one issue I’m trying to resolve is that I can’t control the volume which is somewhat loud…
