Pete's Blog $13 voice assistant for Home Assistant

[George M]

Let me correct that some. If I use the button then it will control devices via voice. However the awake will not work.

Not logged in at all via browser. Just speaking to Atom; IE: "OK Nabu, what is the temperature?"

Atom LED blinks blue after "OK Nabu".

 

[pete_c]

Awake word doesn't work if app is disabled. Just press the button, blue LED goes on then it listens to your command.

 

[pete_c]

Restart wake word. Here is my starting log for wake word

Yeah, not happening here. Everything is enabled. If I hold down the button I can issue commands and they work. However nothing responds from the wake word.
I push the button and the solid blue light comes on.
Here is the log:

But when I say the wake word, no response. No action, no flashing light, nothing.

 

[pete_c]

what are you using as your wake word?

IE: Goto
1 - Voice Assistant

2 - click on home assistant



3 - wake word

 

[George M]

I've tried Alexa, hey jarvis, and ok nabu

 

[pete_c]

And your display looks like this eh? IE: use listen light and use wake word toggled on.
When speaking your assist in progress will be on.

 

[George M]

It doesnt show the last three lines
Use Listen Light
Use Listen Word

 

[pete_c]

Here is what my configuration screen looks like; what does yours look like?

 

[pete_c]

find out the IPv4 IP (its doing DHCP) and try to ping it...maybe you are not connected.

[George M]

Im using a reserved address in my router. It pings and shows up fine. It work by holding in the button and giving a command, it just does not respond to vocal

 

[George M]

Where is yours getting the configuration sections of "Use listen Word" and Use Wake Word"?

 

[pete_c]

Not sure. Make sure you have: local sst and tts configured.
