Oh yeah, Onju is great.
We had conversation with Tetele on Discord couple days ago, there’s trouble running new components (like PE software) on Onju. Although there’s full-duplex I2S (like in Respeaker Lite), i guess Tetele doesn’t want to use basically experimental support (like we do, with PE repo) and will wait for that components to be merged into ESPHome upstream repo.
Also yeah, on Discord there are many requests to do something for Echo dots. I don’t know if it’s something to be done though - too many hardware revisions there, with different guts…
Thanks. I tested mine with Hey Mycroft and it works like before and it recognizes the wake word no matter how far I am away from the voice assistant. So it looks like that Okay Nabu and Hey Jarvis wake words got impacted by one of the recent updates?
Just updated Respeaker Lite ESPHome config to 2025.3.0:
LED effects now take brightness from user LED light setting ;
user LED doesn’t get turned off after every effect;
lowered VAD model probability cut-off to improve wake word detection.
Updated Koala with same probability cut-off, and added more granular volume control.
Also both configs got fix for media player entity ID (which was screwed by PE firmware, now it’s reverted), and also new build will be able to support continuous conversation (which isn’t yet released by HA, but PE is ready for it, and so are we now ).
If you experience a lot of false-activations on this config, try tuning probability_cutoff up for vad: section. It is 0.5 by default, but i found that if i talk with subtle voice, VAD is cutting me off very often.
Hi everyone, I recently purchased Respeaker lite kit. Everything works, except that I have serious problems with the activation word; specifically ok nabu and ok microft always answer, while Hey jarvis answers once out of 10 if all goes well, sometimes nothing at all. I would like to have if possible and know if there is a solution to this and what could be causing it. Thanks everyone!
I was trying to update the yaml, but for some reason it errors out half way through the installation process with the following error:
I tried to restore the old yaml, but still getting the same error. Has anyone seen this before?

I have the SeeedStudio ReSpeaker Lite with Soldered on SeeedStudio ESP32S3 if the RGB isn’t working but everything else is what could be wrong? I did solder USR+D3 & MUTE+D2 but I have zero RGB - red mute LED works.
Ideas?
Trying to get ReSpeaker Lite work with repo above but some issues. In yaml error on line 192 : 192 | … turn id(mute_switch_on_sound); 'unknown tag ! (192:69)
'. Clean Build but a number of warnings during compilation but compiles and sensors create in Home Assistant. Buttons seems to work but no response to ’ Hey Nabu ’ at all. Does anyone have a clue how to start debugging ? Is there a very basic setup to try, confirming hardware works as expected ? Any help appreciated.
It was indeed not related to the new yaml code. The reason I thought it was, is because the installation process worked fine for my other ESPHome device. After checking the possible reasons for this issue, I found out that it’s a hardware (memorey) related issue. So I was lucky to get it fixed by just shutting down the HASS server and removing the power for some time and then restarted it. I wanted to share this here as it’s somehow related to devices with big yaml just in case someone will have the same issue in the future.
@formatBCE I see there are 2 options for the ESP32-S3 board an 8MB flash one and a 16MB flash any dissadvantages to usign the 8MB? Here in Canada 16MB stock is limited USA export is expensive. One disadvantage is I see most YAML files all say 16MB. Thanks for the help and amazing job you’ve done contributing to this project! My 3D Printer is sweating because of you.
Well, soldered-on XIAO S3 is N8R8, so it has 8MB flash.
As soon as the firmware fits the flash size (well, divided by 2, because this is how ESPHome OTA works…), you’re fine using N8R8.
I also used N8R2 (with 2MB PSRAM), and while it also boots, it’s a bit unstable when playing music or sounding long TTS messages, so I don’t recommend that. But as soon as you have enough PSRAM, you’re good.
Thank’s for reply. I know wakeword is ‘ok nabu’, misspelled from my part. Neither of nabu,mycroft or jarvis gives any respond. I cant see from log what’s the problem, can you ?
