in the end I found my final configuration… the 8ohm 3W speaker gives a great change in the volume of the device making it decidedly very acceptable and functional for a room without adding other cables or complicated connections.
You just have to solder the two cables and the result is great (the speaker is the 8Ohm version posted above).
if you remove the Reset button of the case you can also unplug the wires and put the cover back on. (alternatively you can also connect two 4Ohm speakers in parallel to bring the resistance to 8Ohm for a more diffused effect)
Hi,
I’m very interested in your version, but could you please look at 25.6.1 version in which we have fully functional countinued conversation mode? Could you incorporate your changes to this yaml version retaining continued conversation mode?
Small followup: I’ve managed to modify the newest yaml (25.6.1) incorporating your changes and everything is working like a charm since 2 days Here is the modified yaml:

Now, thanks to you, I’m totally happy with my two echos. One of them is constantly switched to an external speaker via VLC and another is linked to my Windows computer speakers via HASS.Agent and switched back to internal echo speaker by an automation when the HASS.Agent player becomes unavalilable (after Windows shutting down). Both are working with continued conversation with zero problems Thank you for your yaml
Here is the modified yaml:
