Hi, friends! I have my HA on my home Synology NAS, and it’s running well!
How can I set up Wake Word? Any tutorial available?
Relatedly, I have Automate and HotwordPlugin on my Android phone, but the Flow just does nothing. What am I missing?
TYIA!
If that’s your flow, it won’t do anything because you haven’t joined the blocks together. 
At their most basic, they’re supposed to look like this;

Thanks! Doing so now shows that the plug-in is started, but it’s not activating HA Assistant with the wake word. I have given HotwordPlugin Mic access, and chosen a known wake word (‘computer’).
Any other Ideas? I feel like we’re in the right direction.
Ah, got it to work! I had to set the hotword sensitivity higher, up to around 60.
That, plus using this ‘delay’ and ‘back’ set up in the flow from here got everything to work AND close down the Assist interface after activation.
Now, though, HA will activate on its own, even as I type on my keyboard with the phone on my desk, and it seems to be because the typical hotword ‘Computer’ has a lot of false-positives that start the HA Assistant. It’s a known issue. SO, I created 20 samples of me saying ‘Hey, Computer’, now use that as the wake word, dropped the sensitivity down to about 43, and it seems to be working well!
