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


HA Voice Preview is cool but it’s a toy compared to Alexa. It’s not loud enough and doesn’t pick out the wake work well enough. Incredibly cool pipeline and ability to tweak it, once the hardware improves I’d love to replace all my Echo’s.
