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

    Home Assistant sells units with duel microphones that aren’t too expensive and work relatively well. But the local voice recognition wasn’t great last I tried.
