Home Assistant Voice - Encryption Key

currest2620 · October 8, 2025, 12:41am

Hello,

I would like to connect my home assistant voice to a new instance of home assistant. It is asking me for an encryption key. It tells me to look in Esphome for the key but I cannot find it.

Here is the new instance:

Here is the legancy instance:

I don’t see an encryption key option available, nor do I see a yaml file. The only option seems to be “ignore”.

Can anyone tell me where to obtain the encryption key and/or tell me how to set this up on the new instance I am working on?

Thanks in advance.

I deleted the HA Voice instance from the legacy home assistant and reset it according to this article.

However, clicking on “Set up voice assistant” link in integrations gives me an “Entity not found” error it checks for updates.

I am able to activate the LED and Mute switches from the device integration page though.

I tried “setup voice assisant” a few times and it started working. Not sure what the issue was.
