Already tried updating, different devices, different models…

Hope somebody can help me.

I got the same problem. Running HassOS in PVE VM

Does anyone have a solution for this? I’m in the same boat.

curious if anyone knows how to define the timeout on this. I did a voice command to purposefully run a script that takes about a minute to run and the thing timeouts… Would have hoped it was asynchronous but it appears it tries to run the command and waits until it finishes before coming back a/ a “success”.

See what I wrote here: Whisper speech to text timeout · Issue #1361 · home-assistant/intents · GitHub

Basically whisper is too slow and it times out, and this make sense, an answer that takes more than 25 seconds is not a conversation anymore. IMHO

The real solution would be to make whisper go faster, see this issue: GPU support · Issue #3 · rhasspy/wyoming-addons · GitHub

I am in the same boat although it did work before. I broke it and I don’t want to reinstall everything. How to debug it to see what’s the problem?
