Muse and HA as a Voicee Assistant deevice

Hi,
and here another try with this .yaml

Result

Sorry

Any News?
I still can’t update any ESPHome in my sytem and so I can’t install the .yaml on my ESP Muse Luxe.
I think, the reason for this error isn’t in my universe …

Thanks for helping.

With best regards

Gerhard

Hi no worry we’ve all been there :slight_smile:
Soon you will be a pro in yaml (i am not)

Could you give me your ESPhome version and home assistant version?

I will make a tutorial video on youtube next week as you are not the first one to ask this

Hi,
thanks.

ESPHome version is 2024.11.1

Hardware is a HA Yellow with an large M2 SSD.

I have to move for the next days, but no problem another HA instance and another Muse luxe were waiting for me …

I run two ESPHome Wroom just as BT-Gateways, and I get the same error there, it looks like, this behavior starts after the last update for ESPHome Compiler.

With best regards

Hi I have made a video just for you :slight_smile: and hoping it will help others!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thats the trick.
Manuell compile, make a .bin and install the .bin via Com. I do it always ‘wirelessy’ … after copying the .yaml.

Ok, will try it within the next hour.

Thanks a lot.

With best regards

Hi,
followed strictly your video instructions.
After copying the .yaml and choose install with option manual I got again_

Sorry, something wrong.

I discovered an issue after loading your updated yaml. Now when I try to play text-to-speech through the speaker it doesn’t play anything until I give it a voice prompt. Then it will play the text-to-speech I sent it previously. Thanks again for your assistance.

Hi,
after solving the problem with the broken json file (see above) by removing ESP Home from my HA instance and reinstalling the actual version, I was able to start the compilation, but:

Sorry.

Ok, solved this issue.
Do everything like you show in the video.
Result:
Esp Muse generates some noise in random time intervals.
In the ESP Compiler Page I found the device under ‘detected’, but the dokumentation for ‘Take control’ told me, that I will loose everything, so didn’t use it.
I found some entities like ‘media player…’ as before, using this to try to use tts fails.
Any ideas?

With best regards

Some news:
First of all, I switched ‘Use Wakeword’ off. And I changed the configuration of the device:

I repaired the actions because the entity names changes since the last attempt to install ESP Muse Luxe and now, the box is speeaking again BUT:
You have to switch the ‘Use wakeword’ option off.

This also stopps the ugly random noise.

Interesting:
When I switched the ‘Use wakeword’ switch to ‘off’ also the led switch is switched off and the selected color of the led changes …

How can I test, which version of software is running on the Muse, how can I check the audio channels, including the microphones and what can I do, that the random noise stopps and the wakeword will probably start working?

With best regards

Gerhard

Just a little update.

ESPMuse luxe works fine for my announcements. I use now ChimeTTS which allows me to add some sounds to my messages, like ’ Ding Dong its 8 o’clock now’, but only when I switched of the ‘Wakeword’ option.
Switching this option on stopps all announcements.
I installed the software (.bin) as mentioned above.

With best regards

Gerhard

sorry I lost track what yaml are you using now?

The last one you send me.
Sorry, find no way to upload the file here for reference.
How can I find out which version is running on my box now?

I am quite sure it’s this one:

With best regards

Ok so I’ve tried to recompile it today and I have an error with last HA/ESPHOME updates

Anyway one of our engineer is assigned on this until we found a solution, stay tuned

Thanks for your work …

Maybe we can put sone info into the .yaml to see, which version is actually running, guess there will be somemore iterations.
