M5 Atom stuck after successful recognition

ESPHome
1

Hi there,

I’m using the template for the M5 Atom Echo from here: wake-word-voice-assistants/m5stack-atom-echo/m5stack-atom-echo.yaml at 5a50822602d6981ff3e61b07a5bf96c8e53d9a36 · esphome/wake-word-voice-assistants · GitHub
The voice recognition works quite well but once a command gets recognized the device stays blue and does not recognize any command anymore. A reset via button or power cycle solves the issue.

I did a test setup just with an esp and a microphone which did not show that behaviour.

Any idea on how I can more deep dive to search for the issue?

Ok I think it’s not the LED.
The problem seems to be the speaker: I don’t hear anything. After successful recognition it tries to put out shy and then get stuck. But why?!

What do logs show in esphome device builder?

I think my problem is that somehow he cannot get the files to play:

Is this an issue with home assistant that cannot get reached or piper directly?

Not sure yet, but probably that is the issue: Error mediaplayer no audio response after upgrading esp32-s3-box-3 with esphome 2025.2 · Issue #72 · esphome/wake-word-voice-assistants · GitHub
