We'll have to see how it holds up when things inevitably change in a few months, but for now, this is perhaps the best, easiest true step-by-step tutorial I've ever followed on KZbin. I even followed along for things I already know how to do, like exiting nano.

[@healeydave]

I do believe you are one of the best if not the best KZbin Tutorial Content Creators I have ever viewed and subscribed to and trust me, my subscription list is very exclusive and normally has to be earned over many videos and seldom is it earned on the first watch. I don't mean to embarrass you but I'll even clarify a few reasons why (for the benefit of other creators that could do worse than take a few tips from here). Verbally, you're easy to understand, clear and concise, I don't have to rewind and replay to hear what you said. You use visuals like highlighting the commands and text that you are talking about. You explain what the command is actually doing which is useful education for people that have blindly used similar commands before but had no idea what they were actually doing AND importantly, these descriptions are just the right length, not to in-depth that lead down a rabbit hole. Finally, you haven't jumped on the band wagon of coming up with a cringy slogan or start every video with an emphasised chant like "let's dive right in" etc. A huge thanks for being more real!! I predict your channel and subscriptions growing fast and exponentially and deservingly so!

I had an interesting issue trying get this working but was able to figure it out. I already had followed your ChatGPT instructions and had OpenWakeWord, Piper and Whisper installed. For some reason Home Assistant wouldn't find my new Satellite. I was able to find the instructions to add it manually (using the IP address and port 10700) and then was able to successfully complete the process. I had a set of headphones plugged into the satellite and I'm using the same wake word as your video. Before I installed Open Wake Word locally, it was using what I had already installed in Home Assistant. This is Brilliant! Now to make some changes so that the output of my conversations are redirected to the in-room Sonos speakers!

I've been bothered that out of the box this tutorial (the wyoming-satellite, not your vid) doesn't ship with the ability to do tts notifications. A simple install of mpd solves this nicely - making the communication feel two way rather than just it reply to the wake word. Good job on the vid! Keep making them.

[@FutureProofHomes]

Thanks for the good video vibes. Yea, you’re right. People definitely want to use this hardware as a media player. FR has been submitted to the Wyoming project here: github.com/rhasspy/wyoming-satellite/issues/40 I’m gonna try installing MPD on the Pi soon so see if I can unlock this feature. Should work.

I'm loving your tutorials and everything you are doing. I think you are on the forefront of the future of the smart home and its damn exciting to watch and build alongside you. I've been a HA fan for 7-8 years. I built your FastGPT pipeline last week, pretty fun to use but so far only light usage. I'm curious if you have thoughts on the approximate cost in monthly OpenAI bills if used that FastGPT pipeline heavily to run your smart home, replace the voice assistant and field general queries. I know it's highly dependent on usage obviously, but wondering your thoughts on a ballpark of that.

[@chrisumali9841]

Thanks for the demo and info. Your instructions are awesome and very detailed. Have a great day

[@Chiberia]

I'm creating a bunch of these around the house, with the eventual plan to repurpose some old Alexa Dots (and some day replacing the rPI with a custom ESP32 board). I control them all remotely via Ansible, which makes life a LOT easier for managing the inventory.

[@Pirog666]

Thanks for the great guide on how to build a Voice Assistant at home. I am currently planning such an installation in my new home and am wondering about the best solutions. What do you think about other Respeaker boards? for example the "ReSpeaker 4-Mic Array for Raspberry Pi" or the "ReSpeaker 6-Mic Circular Array Kit for Raspberry Pi". I want the best possible quality of microphones so that I don't have problems with the wake word and that the board reads commands well. Can these boards be integrated into the HA in an analogous way? Is this a good idea or is it a waste to overpay?

[@FutureProofHomes]

Honestly, the 2-mic Pi hat has served my needs. The 4-mic pi hat is probably better though. Let me know your results! The 6-mic circular array may not work with the drivers I fear, but try it! That all said, I would still recommend the 2-mic hat. It really is comparable to the Alexa/Google based on all my testing. Even works with background noise in a big room if your raise your voice a bit (which I had to do with Alexa as well).

[@Palmolive360]

Built this and it works like a charm, but you're gonna have to dub out wakewords in your videos from now on as it apparently really likes your voice... 😆

[@tthenrie1]

Thumbs-up on the video, but I have a small question: Why did you go with "legacy 64-bit" rather than the current 64-bit OS? From what I read, the current lite version does fine on the 2w, but I figured you must have a reason for going with the legacy version.

[@FutureProofHomes]

Bookworm (newest raspi OS) is still rough around the edges and introduces some breaking changes to python env. Just went through safe route to avoid unnecessary headaches.

[@NeilSleightholm]

Great video, allowed me to get started with this very quickly. At the moment I can't get the LED setting to work, if I enable it then the "awake" is triggered but the unit then just hangs and needs restarting. Have you ever had an issue with the LED? Also, couldn't get "ok nabu" to work but "hey jarvis" is fine - must be my pronunciation! (Having issues with the ChatGPT pipeline but need to watch you video again to re-set that up - I did it sometime before I got the hardware.)

[@Jysinn]

Great tutorial! especially for the visual, makes it easier to understand ---- can you do a video on maybe utilizing the GPIO/12 port for external lighting cue? be nice to have another indicator avenue if we are unable to see the 2-Hat

[@tomgrounds]

Another amazing video. I'm in the process of migrating from a heavy Alexa automation to Home Assistant and this solves my Echo device issue. I have a few questions - 1) I have 12 Echo devices and was wondering if I can set up one of the Wyoming Voice Satellite's and then copy that SD for each of the other RPi's and change the name/user info to so that I'm not having to follow these steps on each device? 2) Is there a method to determine the person speaking? I would like to include a response specific to that person 3) In my home automation setup I have Sonos is each room - would it be possible to have each RPi output the audio to the Sonos device in the room where he RPi is via Home Assistant? I agree with your approach on muting the music to allow the voice conversation to happen - that is the behavior I have now with Sonos in the room and the Echo devices. I would love to be able to get the conversation over my Sonos devices in each room. Keep the great content coming!

[@FutureProofHomes]

1. YES! You can do this. If/when you do, please document the process and share. 2. Give each person their own wake word. I use "hey bob" and you use "hey sally". That's the best way today. 3. My most recent video tries to get rid of Sonos completely. But I also want what you're describing! Yes, this should be possible. Watch my new video and modify the "--snd-command" so that it PulseAudio will use the Airplay protocol to stream to your Sonos. That should be it.

[@jasonjseattle]

Dude I LOVE this! Like so many of us out there I am looking for a good solution to replace the Alexa devices in my house. I'm a Sonos household. Is it possible to use this for the microphone and output audio to the sonos speakers? The thought here is to use the high quality speakers I already own. Thoughts here?

[@blackrockcity]

This has been so helpful! Thanks! Where do we go to figure out how to evaluate the quality of the mic vs. the auto gain, noise suppression, and other tweeks?

[@ghstfce]

another outstanding walkthrough/tutorial!!! question; is there any particular reason you preferred to go with deploying a raspi vs say, an atom echo smart speaker?

[@FutureProofHomes]

You can’t run openwakeword on that much slower/cheaper hardware. And I needed a 3.5mm headphone jack out to integrate in my ceiling and fully replace my in-ceiling Alexas.

[@Pr0mises]

Also, the wake word detection on the atom echo is awful (works 2/10 times if the mic isn't pointed at you, and you're extremely close, even then it's like 4/10)

Great job on the tutorial. Disappointing that this level of configuration is needed for HomeAssistant projects. Yes, it makes it the most flexible home assistant ever..... with an ever-increasing learning curve. Why not just release a SD card image and make a few updates for your settings?

[@FutureProofHomes]

Create a wake word and pipeline specifically for your kids that responds in a particular voice with a certain personality. They’ll have fun for days. :)

[@synco1985]

​@@FutureProofHomeshow do you set this? As in for the voice assistant to recognize different voices.

[@FutureProofHomes]

OpenWakeWord has multiple wake words to choose from. You could use "hey jarvis" that responds with a British male voice and a voice assistant pipeline that is capable of controlling the entire home. And then you could create another separate pipeline with the "alexa" wake word that responds with a female voice and limited control to the smart home. When your kids scream "alexa" they can only do certain things. There isn't a way to do automatic voice detection (yet). Just different wake words for different pipelines. Maybe I can do a video on this in the future.

Hi there, another great video, very much impressed 😎 So, what are the limitations? Can you still play music from streaming providers via Jarvis?

[@FutureProofHomes]

There are quiet a few limitations still. To name a few: 1. No you can't have it stream audio yet (I'm working on it though.. might be my next video actually) 2. The LLM is inconsistent. Sometimes it does exactly what you want, sometimes not. AI is funny like that and eventually it will be solved. 3. It can't yet create alarms, reminders, timers. I think that's coming soon. 4. It requires your entities to be named well. If you feed it light.sdf97asdf9078 it will increase the likelihood weird things happen. There's more, but I'll stop there.

@@FutureProofHomes oh I assumed the pi 3 was more powerful the the zero, apologies! Ooo so but the shins of it that might be coming, that would be amazing!

[@RobertFabiano]

Another great video!

[@FutureProofHomes]

Thanks @RobertFabiano!

[@cvasantrao]

Nice and exciting video. Installed as given in the tutorial and video. As I could not lay my hands on a Respeaker 2 hat , connected a INMP441 which I had used to make a voice assistant with esp32. The wake word does not get recognised. I tried a recording test with the mike and it does record but the volume is low. Could that be the cause for the wake word not being detected? Will a USB microphone work?

[@FutureProofHomes]

Really glad you liked the video! Thank you.. Yes, bad quality audio can definitely be the cause for openwakeword to not respond. I’m assuming you tweaked all the noise suppression, mic volume and gain setting as best you could? Yes, I think a usb mic could possibly work too.

[@strusic]

Great tutorial! But I cant finish the process. My rpi zero 2w stuck at building wheel for zeroconf. Wheel indicator stops in some point and rpi is not responding. How do I pass that?

[@HideyHoleOrg]

I have been using the Google Home speakers and hubs, but have been waiting for something like this to be able to make a break to Home Assistant. I think that the time to make the change is at hand.

[@FutureProofHomes]

Take a look at the Onju voice project!

[@neilos2085]

What speakers / microphones are people using?

[@Suriprofz]

Great! Would be nice to have external mics in different rooms aswell

[@collantitos]

Excellent bro. btw, How can I change the language to spanish for instace?

Excellent video! Now I have a (legit) reason to buy a new Raspberry Pi (or possibly quite a few). 🤩 What theme are you using in Home Assistant? I’m in the process of setting mine up (again), and that looked awesome!

[@FutureProofHomes]

Using the ios-dark-mode-blue-red theme (google it) and the dashboard is custom build with Mushroom components. Checkout Everything Smart Home's tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naDYfqGGrb57esU

[@MrZomhad]

Awesome tutorial, worked like a charm! The only thing not working for me is playing the sound effects when the assistant awakes and is done listening. I added the two lines in the service configuration according to 19:20 and also located the sound files on the pi, it's just not playing though... Any idea why that might be? Thanks a lot and cheers!

[@mickeynygaard]

Mate...you rock!

Ty, @mickeyngaard!

[@devenhall8785]

Great tutorial. It's Print Working Directory - pwd. I blame the white claw. As always rtfmp. 8:14

[@lordericheitz]

Noice! I'ma try "hey are too" and custom droid wave files.

[@FutureProofHomes]

Great idea! I think that might be a solid wake word choice too.

[@zybster]

This would be perfect if the raspberry pi would be powered by PoE and booting from the network. Also sn Ansible playbook to provision the devices would be awesome :-)

[@stevenfisher9864]

You can get a poe hat for the raspberry pi but I don't think it works on the zero.

[@FutureProofHomes]

I've heard rumors of a w2 pi that is powered by POE coming in the future. With our luck though they'll make 10 of them and charge 150 a pop. Sucks. I'm curious, can you plug a POE hat and 2-mic pi hat to a Rpi at the same time? That'd be sweet.

[@the-papaw]

Very cool video, I assume there is no way to get this to work offline due to the ChatGPT portion??? Or is there?

[@FutureProofHomes]

See the next video. I demonstrate how to build totally offline solution. The models are slow and not as smart accurate. I’m working on it.

[@bradmesserle999]

The issue i am having with setting up ceiling speakers is actually cutting holes in the ceiling. :) we have a 1 story house and adding all those holes into the attic is not good..Which I had a conditioned attic and then i would not have an issue. Any suggestions of sealing ceiling speakers?

[@GUN2kify]

Is there an option to only have microphones in the network, to acieve low power, low impact and set the "intelligence" at one place (docker/vm)? Maybe in a jack box? That should be more efficent as set several Pis up, i suppose?

[@FutureProofHomes]

What you're describing is really close to what HA is talking about in this blog post. Search the page for "Anker PowerConf S330". www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/10/12/year-of-the-voice-chapter-4-wakewords/#reuse-and-repurpose-different-ways-to-create-a-voice-satellite

[@GUN2kify]

@@FutureProofHomes thanks i will looking into that. :)

[@tomgrounds]

Now that I have 4 voice assistants built and configured with openwakeword onboard (thank you again for this incredible tutorial!!!), I have been having periods of random activation. Have you seen the same? Especially with the tv on in the other room it triggers them often and I haven't been able to determine the cause. I see that I'm able to generate debug logs on my Home Assistant server with Open Wakework there, have you found a way to get to the logs on the devices themselves so that I can see what is going on? I'm toying with the idea of rebuilding them without open wakeword and let the server intercept them for a period to see if I can find the cause. Any thoughts or ideas on how to easily debug this issue?

[@KevinB333]

I've had this as well. Just letting you now. I'm using Hey Jarvis in case that matters.

[@tomgrounds]

@@KevinB333 I'm using Hey Jarvis as well. It's as if it is waking up on just the word 'hey' - or anything that sounds like it.

[@TheNico9870]

Super good video. How do you send TTS to a Satellite?

[@levanluong791]

@FutureProofHomes Can you give me the img file after successfully installing all the steps? I can't install it forever, it keeps giving me an error. thank you.

[@JasonKnightDJJasonK]

I can't get the LEDs to work either. The service seems to be running fine, but the lights never respond. Thanks for all the great work.

[@FabrizioArosio]

Great video. With this installation, am I able to use the same speakers as media_player for music or do I need others because these are used by the pi operating system and only act as a voice assistant?

[@FutureProofHomes]

If you install MPD on the pie it should turn into a media player. I haven’t tested this yet. A GitHub issue is requesting this feature too. github.com/rhasspy/wyoming-satellite/issues/40

[@MrTighe12]

Wonder if there's a way to connect the Signal messenger add on to the ChatGPT assist. Would be good to receive notifications and converse through signal even away from home

[@DavidLeiser88]

I get a very fast and high pitched TTS response using this setup with a small speaker connected via JST. I don’t know which setting affects the speed of the TTS response. Any idea?

[@genepitney155]

Does this mean I can ditch "Alexa" and "Hey Google"? Well not quite? Great info. I am migrating from Hubitat to Home Assistant. When will it end?

[@drakenstrijder2463]

Thanks for the tutorial, but why are there links in de discription to 3 different Raspberry Pi and 2-Mic Pi Hat. wat is the differents between the 3?
