Voice assistant unable to connect to Home Assistant

I installed an HA Voice and it does not reply to me whatsoever. When I click the “Set up voice assist” link it times out with the error in the screenshot below. I’m using Home Assistant Cloud for TTS and Speech-to-text. I was planning on configuring OpenAI and have an account and entered my API key. But the voice assist does not work with OpenAI, Home Assistant, or Home Assistant Cloud.

Also, even after setting wake word sensitivity to “Very sensitive” I need to shout OKAY NABU to get a response sound.

I’ve gone through the “Help me” documentation and don’t have an answer.

What am I doing wrong?

Troubleshooting Assist - Home Assistant

Settings >> system >> network > local network

Needs to be IP or hostname accessible by voice device

Yea, I checked that via the documentation. It’s a local IP address so it should be accessible. The doc said that “Automatic” works most of the time.

I also tried unchecking “Automatic” and that didn’t work either. When I restarted HA, the voice assist did display a red light, so it appears as though it can connect.

-Thanks

Is HA connecting with device

Check logs on voice device. It will give exact error, esphome Device logs are pretty clear

I restarted HA and it’s working now. Thanks for your help.
