No internet in the container so it can’t download the required model also not all combinations of models are available.

Is there a list of supported models? I am after English anything that will run ok on a Synology 920+

Thanks Nick :+1:
I guess specifically this yaml:

72

Yes I believe so, I was trying to point to the directory with the other hardware support too.

I hit the same with the medium model too in en.

These two tries gave the 404:

--model medium --language en
--model medium

This one did not give a 404 and starts fine:
--model small --language en

Which is weird because the faster-whisper python package downloads from guillaumekln (Guillaume Klein) which has both medium.en and small.en

Warning: looks like ESPHome currently only supports PDM microphone like the one in the M5 Echo, not “pure” I2S ones like the INMP441 (was wondering why I couldn’t specify WS/SCK pins)

Every page of documentation has a link to submit an update. There you go.

I have seen the live stream, and it is great that we now have the esphome voice assistant client (the old Rhasspy Satellite)

but is there also coming a client (satelite) for the raspberry pi or other pc software?

In my living room I have a raspberry pi touchscreen with a WM8960_Audio_HAT this one has mics build in. I bought this always with in my mind to run it as a rhasspy satelite. but now that this is build in home assistant, I do not want to install Rhasspy any more.

currently I see the falsest why to run this is to install some kind of voip/sip client on my raspberry pi. it would be nice to have some sort of voice client software.(can be in the browser it is running chrome)

@synesthesiam which is the correct address to call Home Assistant Assist using the android sip client mizudroid?

Why is this not answered?

2023.5 is released on Wednesday.

80

The answer is in your post. You aren’t running the required version of HA for this.

82 
We’ve added a new [Voice Assistant](https://esphome.io/components/voice_assistant.html) component that allows you to use ESPHome devices as an input for [assist](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/assist/) in Home Assistant 2023.5 or later.

is it work for someone with 2023.5.0dev core? is someone try it?

Because im still in 2023.4.6 core i understand i have to wait tomorow.

But in my second instance of HA which is 2023.5.0dev still not work when i press the button, i mean i doesnt have the error about start voice_assistant could not start, i mean, it seems it start but nothing append in HA, no response.

Thanks

You should wait for the release, or seek support on discord, as you were already told on the ESPHome github. No need to cross-post the same question.

84

Maybe stupid question, but is there a way to use a plain microphone attached to a PC to test the voice functionality? Besides the ESPHome way, it’s not clear to me how to feed HA with voice data…

Yes, just configure your voice assistant and use Assist icon in top right corner of your dashboard

86

Once the voip integration is installed, it should be the IP of your Home Assistant server with port 5060.

87

Thanks. Are you talking about this?
I had the microphone icon at the red spot (I guess that’s what you mean) on one chromium browser at one point, but I cannot get it back anymore :roll_eyes:
