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 speech to text with whisper working on my phone. HA is set to the default assistant on my phone so I can control lights, timers and scenes from 1 action on my phone or watch. Works well once I set friendly names for each light, room, device and scene.
