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


Forgot to add, something I really want to figure out is how to do reminders with it. I’m stuck using Gemini on my phone for that and I’d really love to find a way to do that in HA if anyone has any tips.
Me too, so I started looking around. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/calendar-notifications-actions/612326
I don’t have time right now, but will this work?
