Hey guys, I have just started trying to setup my ReSpeaker for home assistant. I have flashed the 1.0.7 firmware without issue, now I am attempting to load the ESPHome yaml. I assume I am doing something incorrect as the provided code is throwing an error due to the github links for the wake words.
(Noting I am using 2026.6.4 for ESPHome and the provided updated code from this thread for 2026.6.0)
Error:

The links donât seem to get me anywhere either if I post them in a browser, not sure if that is part of the problem or if they arent accessible this way.
It will compile if I remove the git links under âmodels:â
Updated code to make it validate/load:

This allows me to load and connect the speaker, I can see the device in ESP Home but I am not getting any audio output and it appears to crash and restart. I have captured some logs of a few basic requests.

So the wake words appear to work, and it will listen and I can see in the activity field it responding to time requests but the no sound output and crashing have me confused.
Hopefully it is something simple, thanks in advance for any assistance.
