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 built a docker wyoming version of pocket-tts a while ago because I like the voices and timbre of pocket-tts better than Piper. I’ve subbed it in for Piper.
Also been using the OVH Linux-voice-assistant which I dockerized for voice hardware on my desktop.
