Hello all,
HA newbie here. I am playing with the HAVPE using Home Assistant Cloud in order to have finnish language recognised and spoken back to me. Works fine, I am impressed so far. But one thing I dislike is the “Wake Word Sound” played when the wake word is detected.
So I found out that Using the ESPHome Builder, I can take control of the HA Voice device, which pulls the current device config into the dashboard so you can edit it going forward. The secrets can be edited (wifi_ssid, wifi_password, API encryption key). The using the YAML editor for the configuration file, this line can be edited and another sound file can be linked here:
wake_word_triggered_sound_file: https://github.com/esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/raw/dev/sounds/wake_word_triggered.flac
The firmware will be recompiled and flashed. Are there available specifications for the sound file format ? Other than FLAC, maybe mp3 ? I’d like to replace the default wake word sound with “yes boss ?” or any other funny phrases… I would lose the official updates though…
Of course the device can be reflashed with the official ESPHome web installer for the device (https://esphome.github.io/home-assistant-voice-pe/)
Has anyone tried, or does anyone know the limitations for wake word triggered sound format / duration ? Thanks !
