I have a Home Assistant Green, with no pending updates. I just got the Voice PE. I have plugged it in directly to the HAG and to multiple devices on the same network as HA, but it won’t discover the Voice PE. It always lights up with the pleasant white sparkles around the ring.
I tried adding the integration for Improv via BLE manually, but I get the error:
No devices found on the network
I can’t see the Voice PE on any machine I plug it into, so I don’t know how I would even troubleshoot directly on the device.
Onboarding via phone
Using your iPhone/Android is the easiest way to connect your Home Assistant Voice to your Wi-Fi network.
Have the Home Assistant companion app installed on your iPhone or Android and configured to connect to your Home Assistant instance. Make sure the version is up to date.
For Android: make sure you’ve enabled precise location service permissions for Home Assistant. It is used for onboarding only. You can disable it again afterward.
Onboarding via Bluetooth
If you don't want to use a phone and your Home Assistant has Bluetooth: either onboard Bluetooth, or an ESPHome device set up as a Bluetooth proxy and connected to Home Assistant.
Thank you, mterry. I had done all of that, or so I thought.
The location permission was set to “Ask every time,” and HA wasn’t asking. I changed it to “Allow only while using the app,” and that allowed it to find the VPE.
I’m having the same issue, however, no luck with your suggestion. I do have location set to always allow, and changed it to all of the other options with no luck.
I don’t have bluetooth set up on my hardware, nor do I have any ESPhome devices.
If you don't want to use a phone and your Home Assistant has Bluetooth
I see the device in my bluetooth settings (on my phone) however clicking says ‘An app is needed to use this device’. Not sure why Home Assistant app isn’t seeing it. I have no permissions denied.
