M5 echo, didn't add as media player

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

Do I need to add specific config for the M5 speakers to be added as media players?

Am looking to target them on tts automation but no entity shows that I can target as a media player?

If you are using the M5 for voice assistance then this will only work with push to talk. I don’t believe you can use the media player function with wakeword activation as the framework type for using the wakeword does not support the esphome media player.

One of the first versions of the config I used also exposed a media player you could use to send TTS messages to, so it’s certainly possible.

I can try to find that back.

I have the same issue with the m5 and Raspiaudio Muse Luxe.
When the device is flashed as voice assistant, i can use wakeword but no mediaplayer. When flashed as mediaplayer, i cannot use wake word but only push-to-talk.

It seems voice assistant setups use “framework: arduino” and the other use “framework: esp-idf”, which does not support media_player…

Thanks for the clarification, so if I wanted to create “alexa, what time is it?” and for the response to return to the M5 used to invoke the request I would need to make a custom custom sentence and response?

Trying to get responses in one of other media players (e.g. Google home/nest mini) instead of m5 stack (it’s own volume is too low for this). Yet can’t see the way to do it. I mean, “Marvin, turn on kitchen light” (light turned on). I want Google home mini to respond: “turned on kitchen light” , not m5.

I wish there was a way. I found this thread due to I am trying to figure out how to do THIS!!!
