How to manually install Piper and whisper on Home Assistant core

Installation
1

I would try to install Piper and whisper on my self installed Home Assistant on a RPI P3b+ (Raspian + venv + pip install), but I can’t found information about the process.

Docker Install

Pull the container,change path to your path and run it. Rename containers to something like wyoming-piper and wyomin-whisper and add wyoming integration. For host I selected localhost and for port 10200 and 10300 and that was it.
Whisper and piper arre recognized in home assistant.

As you tag me, this is my docker-compose configuration for those. If someone needs it

## wyoming
  whisper:
    container_name: whisper
    image: rhasspy/wyoming-whisper
    command: --model tiny-int8 --language en
    volumes:
      - /opt/whisper-data:/data
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Vienna
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 10300:10300
### 
  piper:
    container_name: piper
    image: rhasspy/wyoming-piper
    command: --voice en_US-lessac-medium
    volumes:
      - /opt/piper-data:/data
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Vienna
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 10200:10200

Btw, has anyone got this to actually work? It writes down what I say and can speak so that part works but it literally cannot run any action. I say “turn off the master bedroom light” and it tells that that there is no device with that name even though it’s literally the name I gave it in Home Assistant. Google Home has no problem with the same command.

You have those lights exposed and have aliases set up for them? What does the voice assistant debug logs show? Go to Settings > Voice Assistants and click the 3 dot menu beside the assistant you setup with whisper and piper and click Debug.
