Not able to select my assist_satellites for announce

The voice assistant component in ESPHome hasn't added support for announcements yet. This depends on a number of other components being updated, including the media player.

[gianlucasullazzo]

Hi @synesthesiam, thanks for reply. So, at the moment, there is no way to use announces. Do u have and idea of the timing to make mentioned update on esphome components? I'm using a custom component to realize a kind of "voice actionable notification" but I don't likes it so much. I would prefer to use only native components and announces are a big part of my VAN project.

[mija87]

Im waiting for this function as well, when does esphome get a update to make announcements via a satelite?

[Wetzel402]

Can the esphome media player component be used to replace this functionality?

[sudoxreboot]

of course I mess with it for 2 days to find this out. all I need to replace alexa is timers, this {announcements), and media player. commenting for follow

[thefunkygibbon]

is the a temporary workaround for this? surely there is some kind of mechanism for making the m5stack make audio output since the whole assist pipeline works fine. for example i'm simply trying to add some kind of noise upon using the wakeword so that people know it is listening. (like every other voice assistant does) but I'm baffled as to how can go about doing this. assist_satillite was a way i thought i coudl do this. but apparently not.

@thefunkygibbon, I replied to you on the ESPHome discord but I want to include this here for others to see also. I was able to play a wake sound on a standard ESP32 using the following config...

I tried adding an additional sound for timer_finished but couldn't get that working. I think it might be a hardware limitation issue.

[thefunkygibbon]

thanks, I didn't notice the reply on discord, so i appriciate you posting here too. I've tried your code and and am still struggling to get it working on the m5stack device. I'll continue to tweek it to see if can get it working. I converted the wav into the .h file as the documentation suggests but still no luck.

[andreas-bulling]

I'd also be interested in being able to use a Wyoming satellite with the announcement functionality

ESPHome issue: https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/6319

[simonsays-techtalk]

I agree with Andreas-bulling. I came her, to find out I cannot use my wyoming satellites as mediaplayers, to let them announce something.

[Wetzel402]

@andreas-bulling and @simonsays-techtalk, the new nabu media player addresses this and can be used with:

....
external_components:
  - source:
      type: git
      url: https://github.com/esphome/voice-kit
      ref: dev
    components:
      - media_player
      - micro_wake_word
      - microphone
      - nabu
      - voice_assistant
    refresh: 0s

voice_assistant:
  id: va
  microphone: mic1
  media_player: nabu_media_player
  micro_wake_word: mww
  noise_suppression_level: 1
  auto_gain: 31dBFS
  volume_multiplier: 4.0
...

[lweberru]

The assist_satellite.start_conversation also not working, tried it with the new Home Assistant voice pe using newest firmware without manual change of code.

[simonsays-techtalk]

I am working on mqtt integration, not sure if this is the way to go. At the moment I am barely able to send/receive some mqtt topics..

[cvwillegen]

Try this in your config:

substitutions:
  name: "m5stack-atom-echo-1"
packages:
  m5stack.atom-echo: github://esphome/wake-word-voice-assistants/m5stack-atom-echo/m5stack-atom-echo.yaml@main
esphome:
  name: ${name}
  name_add_mac_suffix: false
  
api:
  encryption:
    key: XXXXXXXXXXXXX

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

Despite the 'wake word' in the packages line, this can be used to play back audio as a media player, and it can be used for the announce function as well.

Edit: But not for the start_conversation at this time.
