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

Picked up a preview edition last year and it just kind of sits there.

I really need to get it running for basic automation tasks but finding the time to research good tutorials seems to be eluding me.

    I also have a preview edition.

    I moved HA from my server to a HA green to separate reliability (my server is a test bed and uptime isnt great, and home automation warrants better uptime than I was giving it).

    The voice services don't work as well on the green directly, but I view it as part of the HA ecosystem and I want it running on the same hardware, but it seems very much like not a great option for that. And even on my own hardware, it still seems like it was a bit slower than I'd want and not always accurate. I definitely need a lot of tweaking (just like OP) to make it worth while.
