I am just getting started with HA and ESP Home and I followed the process in this video to setup Assist, however when I got to the bottom of the configuration window for the pipeline, the Wake Word controls are not there. Was this removed at some point, and if so, how do I setup the wake word now? I am running 2025.1.0, and all of the HA documentation still seems to indicate that the Wake Word configuration should be there. Am I missing something? Conversely, should I be installing microWakeWord on my ESP32 device instead? Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
what is your device and what config have you used ?
In developing my response to your question, I think I figured this question out, but generated several other questions. To fix this, I had to add wakeword using the options menu for the pipeline configuration. However, in researching the solution, I came across Micro Wake Word, which seems to be a better solution overall since I am creating an ESP32 device with an I2S microphone and speaker. When I added the micro_wake_word code to my ESPHome configuration file and compiled it, it said it would only work with the ESP-IDF framework, then when I changed the framework to ESP-IDF, it said I couldn’t use the i2s_audio platform. So, does anyone know what platform should be used for i2s audio in the ESP-IDF framework?
To a larger point, is there a list of available platform options for each component somewhere? In the ESPHome documentation, it rarely says which platforms are available so I find myself guessing more frequently that I would like.
Thanks.
in order to help troubleshoot, can you post your config
It looks like this issue was solved with ESPHome Builder 2025.2.2 when support was added for Media Player speaker was added for ESP-IDF.
Thanks.
