If you’re using the Home Assistant voice assistant mechanism (not Alexa/Google/etc.) how’s it working for you?
Given there’s a number of knobs that you can use, what do you use and what works well?
- Wake word model. There’s the default models and custom
- Conservation agent and model
- Speech to text models (e.g. speech-to-phrase or whisper)
- Text to speech models


I have both but just basic options. Like with WLED lights (if you’re familiar), I’ll have buttons for turning them on and off and controlling the brightness, and ignore everything else light presets, color, patterns, segments, night light, etc because there isnt a great way to list them all in a compact space especially when you have 10 separate WLED devices. Typically I’ll just use the WLED app if I want to do anything outside of basic functionality.
