Voice Assistant as a babyphone

ESPHome
1

Hi there,

I finally have my Voice Assistant components running.

After that was done my wife asked me if we can use the satellites in the rooms also to listen to the baby while sleeping and stream it to a smartphone.
The challenge for me is: I want to continue using ESPHome and the Home Assistant Integration.

Ideas on how to do this may be:

  1. Create a button to fake the wake word and grap the stream to HA and redirect it to something like Go2RTC to stream it to a smartphone
  2. Use the camera Webserver feature of ESPHome and somehow just use audio
  3. No clue if this may work but is there a way to redirect the stream to the HA media player?

All the things should be of cause switchable on only if needed.

Anybody got anything like this running?

We use a $20 tapo camera a/ frigate, and we have added the frigate stream to our Music Assistant as a radio. That is our babyphone and we can play it from anywhere.
