Can it work using nabu-casa cloud instead of the local Faster Whisper/Piper?

What about plugging in a speaker to the headphone jack?

Thank you Chris nice tutorial! Has anyone tried this in comparison to building this on the Raspberry Pi 2 W? I built one of these satellites using a ReSpeaker hat with the P2W and it was pretty laggy and not as accurate as I hoped. Has anyone built both and does the ESP32 version function better? I assumed the Pi 2W would perform better.

Their default YAML on their wiki isn't great. I wrote a new version using Microwakeword. It worked pretty well but on the HA forums there is some yaml that turns the device into a media player allowing you to control the volume. It also does timers and uses the XMOS more from my understanding. It's in the dedicated thread for the respeaker lite. I highly recommend trying it out. The 2 USB ports are because there are 2 firmware types, on for i2s like in this video and another for PC. You plug it directly into the Boardman flashing firmware and when using it in PC mode Unfortunately this doesn't do full-duplex over i2s, which is needed for a new PR in HA for XMOS chips. Their site is confusing on how to order also and they could make that much easier. I will say that with the YAML from the HA forums in the dedicated thread for this product works way better but my Wyoming satellite probably still beats it. With that said, it does seem the handle background noise is better than the S3 box does. XMOS on esp32 is very new, the firmware is still being worked out. This is a very beta product and development board, which is why there are external pads to the XIOS and XMOS chips.

Thanks Chris, I bought a couple of these recently. I also found the speaker to be too loud, so I used the 3.5 mm jack to connect a powered speaker that has volume control. Please inform the channel if you manage to solve you speaker volume issue.

I'm still confused, do I need to select the option for "with XIAO ESP32S3"? Bringing the total to ~$60?

Thanks Chris! We're getting closer to a drop-in replacement for cloud based voice assistants. Exciting times! Can't wait to ditch Google!

Now to test it for distance and interference. Then we can get rid of Alexa!

Thank you for the video! Could you please tell me what hardware you use for Frigate besides Coral? What would be the best option for recording 8-10 cameras? I want to run Home Assistant and Frigate on the same computer. Would an Intel N100 be sufficient?

I'd like to see a tutorial on how to back up Home Assistant to my Synology NAS. In your video, Synology listed in your HA Backup options, but you skipped over how to set that up.

I'm trying to find out some issue, when I forget my wireguard on, and I get home and connect to the home network I have no internet, anybody has an idea how to fix that?

Great video - the description in the blueprint advises that "Dynamically handle things like object type, zones, and face detection from doubletake". For those of us running Doubletake, how would you intergrate this?

Thanks for clearing up the order page. I couldn't figure out which to options to pick. I'm ordering mine now.

2024 and I still cant figure for the life of me how to properly create a google cloud project to integrate the nest thermostat...

It just can't be more clear than that! Many thanks for your efforts and for making this video available!

Discontinued. Replacement has fewer features. Read the reviews in their site. Not encouraging.

Just installed 14.1 .. used to have 13.1 .. nice UI however I used to run 13 behind nginx and authelia .. for some reason i can`t make it work no matter what I forward to into nginx ... or no matter of the bypass or onetime setting in authelia config .. not sure if this is now a broweser issue (usually firefox) however chrome doesn`t work either .. so the site gets the forward but i end up with a black screen .. windows or android same story .. works fine locally on both ports .. but not via cloudflare anymore .. anyone run into a similar issue ? HA works as well so I`m fine for the time being .. however if I want to log remotely via browser from outside I use my domain and I would really need that ..

Does this blueprint work if you have the Frigate on an LXC container on Proxmox?

Getting 402 User not authorized to perform this action when configuring Google cloud. Your video is great and right at the last step where you enter the Google CLoud Project ID it fails with this error. I have the right information entered for the Google Cloud Project ID. Have you seen this problem before or have any suggestion where I can get some help?

hi im getting oauth authorization error while obtaining access token. i followed every steps. any recommendation

Can you go over the setup of the alerts to avoid getting the clip errors. I have my alerts setup but still getting clips errors?

Hi, Dallas seems to be replaced by one_wire in the latest ESPHome versions on HA, but I can't get it right as message is : no sensors found. Can you show me code example for one_wire?

I like new one

Thanks Chris, another well thought out video. I don't think this method works when using the Android companion app. Anyone know what's required?

@mostlychris, thanks for this tutorial, i got some problems with error 400 (Oauth) the best way is create new project en google cloud andd create a new one on google console

Cheap way for china to bug us

Is there a way to set up a rule on your unifi system which allows you to assign the Adguard to an Alias with a set of networks?

I'm afraid something could happen to my Adguard Server. What can happen if there is a secondary to cloudflare so that it only happens if the first one dies?

Many USB cables simply do not work because you generally do not use data pairs for charging

Salut mais pour moi il est impossible de faire entre mes sensor de mon onduleur off-grid ? Ci quelqu'un la solution Merci beaucoup

Guys please stay away from this company, they arnt reasonable to deal with when things go wrong, the optical sensor isnt stable enough either. Please look somewhere else.

What is coral tpu?

You could still place the antenna outside the box through the side. Sure the antenna will be behind sheetrock but that's much better than the metal box its in.

Unnecessary bullshit. Fuck, show it in a short and to the point video. Fuck.

Very interesting for my project. I'm looking for an approach that would allow me to operate 2 HA (Pi 4 and other) at the same time. The Pi4 would be in operation and the other system would take over in real time. In other words, the second system would take over if the first stopped working. Have you ever discussed this subject?

how to backup on google drive ??? ( i would like to have it on local disk and on google drive) thanks

How do you get to the page that you refer to (the one with the green banner)? It isn't the github repo and it doesn't appear to be the Auto Backup configuration page in HA as mine looks nothing like the one that you are showing.

Dropbox not available anymore? Yes it is. I’m using it now. I get one full backup everyday into my Dropbox account. Works great.

All this talk of backing up with no mention or testing of restoring?

thanks for the video ! How can I get the videos on Telegram and download them? Because if the computer is stolen, there's no backup.

Home Assistant Google Drive Backup does all i need.

Well, this just broke my HA...... Got to the "restart HA" bit and now can't get back into it.... 🤥

Great video, tnx! I was always wondering how does a full restore look like, what does it contain and how can it be done on e.g. a standalone machine.

Can you go through converting the Dallas’s integration with esp home in regards to the changes to one wire

I actually flashed these to zigbee and can set everything from the mqtt addon. Esp home is just a nightmare to get working when you’re on a Mac. I always need to fire up a pc to program them. Installing drivers or not installing them, nothing helps. And that wile things like esplink work perfectly fine with the same hardware
