m5 echo bug: can't unpause, unmute. unresponsive.
Using as HA integration via ESPhome. It mostly works, however some features are broken:
- Power button does nothing
- If muted, can't unmute. Have to restart the board.
- If paused, can't unpause. Renders unusable
- Starts ar full volume, even resets to full volume after unsuccessful stream.
- Audio quality is really low, seems like 8bit, low frequencies are filtered out and does not sound good even with high end, sensitive speaker.
- Klicks/pops when starting stream. Needs some fade-in and fade-out.
- Buffering issues, intermittent audio streaming (using HA radio browser).
I was hoping I have finally found a wifi amplifier that works with HA. Nice progress, but much work remaining.
@elektrinis can you share you config file? You have got a lot further than me. No config file I've tried has ever worked.
not sure which one it is running now, I have used this one as well. https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/thirteen-usd-voice-remote/ But all of them are junk, not daily drivers.
Anything new here? Also I cant use that installer on the website you sent because when I try to connect the M5 to wifi after it always fails even though my SSID and keyword are correct, could you export your yaml and post it here?
I can confirm at least one point:
If muted, can't unmute. Have to restart the board.
Which is really annoying.
Still not fixed. Using it as daily driver for radio listening, have to set volume to 0 to switch it off, otherwise have to disassemble my ceiling to reset the device. Still bad sound quality at very low volumes.
