Teil 5: Die letzte Meile zur Freiheit
​Mein Smart Home hat ein neues Gehirn: den Home Assistant Yellow. 🟡
Er steuert Licht, Wärme und Energie lokal. Zieht man den Stecker zum Internet, läuft mein Haus einfach weiter. Ein tolles Gefühl der Sicherheit.
​Aber es gibt einen Haken. 😤
Wenn ich "Licht an" rufe, hört immer noch Mountain View mit. Die Google Nest Minis stehen noch in den Zimmern und dienen als "Sprachrohr". Das schmerzt den Souveränitäts-Muskel täglich.
​Die Lösung ist aber schon im Zulauf: ESP32-S3-BOX-3. 📦
​Diese kleinen Geräte werden meine neuen, lokalen Ohren. Sobald sie da sind, wird Google der Stecker gezogen. "Year of the Voice" bedeutet für mich: Meine Stimme bleibt in meinen vier Wänden.
​Die Hardware ist bestellt. Der Lötkolben (oder eher das USB-Kabel) liegt bereit.
Die Operation "Google-Lobotomie" steht kurz bevor. ✂️
​Fortsetzung folgt...

Well, this is pretty rad in the new @homeassistant update releasing on the 7th. I was able to use the beta to create automations that'll respond, rather than clunky yaml custom sentences. I can now search for something, force an update on the player to fetch name, and then respond with that information. :3

Last night I stayed up waaay too late getting Node-RED to generate Elevenlabs voices, and tonight I've managed to get it to interrupt MPD, add specific voice lines to the playlist, play them, and return MPD to its previous status.

There is almost certainly a better way of doing this if you don't have the weird constraints I insist on giving myself, but I've got semi-offline voice notifications working -- any sentence that was generated while the system was connected to the Internet will work when the Internet is down. After a few weeks it won't need to call out to the Internet at all.

if "voice commands" wouldn't be a broken concept to begin with…

Then #HomeAssistant would STILL be ridiculous, because there's NO usefull #intents around.

And I didn't even find out how to query for state in german. Don't even ask about querying for non-toggle-states (like a sensor value?)

#YearOfTheVoice my ass!

For those wanting to get rid of their Google/Amazon privacy invaders (aka smart speakers), Espressif's ESP-SBOX-S3 is in stock on AliExpress. These link to #homeassistant and can do wakewords and voice control totally locally thanks to #yearofthevoice

After several hours of head scratching, I finally got all of the #YearOfTheVoice pieces setup in #HomeAssistant. Of course, as I'm using a "core" installation it doesn't have add-ons and nothing seems to be documented for that type of setup. Being a stubborn old fart I refuse to use docker images or HassOS as I have other stuff I'm #SelfHosting on this server.

Weather forecast, handled fully local (except Pirate Weather data)!

Showing this working with a custom sentence and intent I wrote for @homeassistant on my server ^^ Gives the forecast, in Fahrenheit here.

Wanted to show the expandability! I hope to see these become easy to install! #HomeAssistant #HomeAutomation #YearOfTheVoice

Trying out the new Assist Microphone for @homeassistant using the Porcupine1 wake-word detector so I can be like I'm in Star Trek x3

All of this is running fully-local: speech-to-text, text-to-speech, wake-word detection, and intent processing. None of this is cloud-side, and all running on a tiny little Dell Micro box!

@homeassistant Also pumped for the #YearOfTheVoice part 4 stream! My dream is to eventually be able to just say "Turn off the lights" and have it register that the request came from the bedroom and turn off the bedroom lights.

For now though, I'll be thrilled if there's just a reliable wakeword.

That said, major bonus points if I can create the wake word for myself! How I long to be able to invoke turning lights off with "Lord of Darkness... TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!!!!!" 😈

@stdevel Ich weiß nicht, ob es zu core gehört, aber wegen #yearofthevoice : wann kommen wake words?
