| @hexa:lossy.network | the internet of things was supposed to run on ipv6 | 12:48:23 |
 @qbit:tapenet.org | In reply to @laurynasp:matrix.org
how esphome and Voice PE relate in your setup? are you connecting Vocie PE to esp32 bluetooth gateway? or you using esphome to fiddle with Voice PE firmware?
P.s. I got my Voice PE last week, and I've been playing with it too. I have had it connected directly to hass via esphome integration, but I would be keen to find a more automated way to configure it Firmware fiddling | 12:59:46 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | Though, that was the m5stack stuff | 12:59:59 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | Trying to figure out why I can't activate the assistant side of the assistant PE | 13:00:34 |
 laurynasp | if you need any specific help, I am happy to give a shot - I haven't gained much expertise yet, though | 13:57:33 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | nice :D - it seems to be configured, but it doesn't receive the responses, like I can say "ok nabu, turn xyz on" and it works, but there is no audible response | 13:58:47 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | and in the device info i see "set up voice assistant" but it fails (i thought because of the esphome stuff, but apparently not) | 13:59:11 |
| laurynasp | just so that I am on the same page and I dont make any asumptions - if you say "okay nabu, what time is it?" do you get audio answer? | 14:05:38 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | negative | 14:08:27 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | i hear the activation sound, lights "spin" one direction, then the other, then go out | 14:08:54 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | when I hit the "set up voice assistant" in the device info page (under the esphome component) i get:
The voice assistant is unable to connect to Home Assistant
To play audio, the voice assistant device has to connect to Home Assistant to fetch the files. Our test shows that the device is unable to reach the Home Assistant server. | 14:11:19 |
| laurynasp | Okay, I had this particular symptom, when:
- I did not have tts configure
- after configuring when tts service (in my case piper) was either not working (errorring out for various reasons) or when it was unaccessible (when i was running on another computer and network/firewal was misconfigured)
| 14:12:51 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | mm, maybe it's because esphome hasn't "taken control" of the device? .. hm that fails anyway.. | 14:13:02 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | i have tts configured, home assistant on android receives responses, as does my tiny m5stack atom echo | 14:13:28 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | can the voice-pe connect to home-assistant? | 14:15:04 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | does it have a route? | 14:15:06 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | does the firewall allow it? | 14:15:09 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | can you observe the traffic? | 14:15:15 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | it should, it's on the same network as the atom echo | 14:16:21 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | i'll try and observe the traffic | 14:16:30 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | esphome shows this:

| @qbit:tapenet.org | when I try to take control | 14:16:43 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | heh, shrugemoji indeed | 14:17:28 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | yeet it into space and try again? | 14:20:15 |

I can say "ok nabu, turn xyz on" and it works
Apologies for my pedantry, but do you refer here to your Voice PE or another device that reacts to "Ok Nabu"?
I.e. if this is your voice pe that triggers successfull turn on of xyz, then voice pe does connect to home-assistant, at least partially conncts?

| @hexa:lossy.network | this really sounds like a connection problem | 14:24:44 |
| @qbit:tapenet.org | the voice PE is the device receiving the ok nabu, other is physically disconnected | 14:24:52 |
