Rhasspy as local voice assistant

[heggink]

Looking for a locally hosted voice assistant, I ran into rhasspy through this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvbVePuP7NY

The guy describes how he configures various components (piper TTS, whisper STT, ollama as conversation agent) all integrated using the wyoming protocol (to HASS ). Following this video, it almost looks like it should be possible to 'easily' integrate into domoticz... Add a device for audio and you're laughing. The idea of running everything in my own home and not have google listen in on everything is very appealing .

Has anyone looked at this? Anyone interested to collectively give it a go? It lists OpenHAB integration although that seemed too scripted for me (unlike the HASS integration).

Hello @heggink,

Interesting proposal

You asked:

Has anyone looked at this?

Not from this point of view.
I looked at the possibilities of using my Google Home Mini or Nest Hub for other tasks, such as detecting sounds, custom messages, etc.

Anyone interested to collectively give it a go?

Yes.

It lists OpenHAB integration although that seemed too scripted for me (unlike the HASS integration).

I have no experience with OpenHab or Home Assistant.

Normally I use Node-RED for any scripting and so far I have achieved everything, I needed and push the values by MQTT to Domoticz
For some of the tools, you mentioned, Node-RED has already custom nodes available.

Let me know about your thoughts.

Regards

Let's see. Any opportunity to replace Google with a home hosted service, I would jump at. Rhasspy has all the basic components but we need to figure out the domoticz integration in a generic way.
If it can be done with HA, it should be possible with domoticz.

Moved the topic to the voice and speech forum.
I myself played some time ago with Mycroft wich is also local: viewtopic.php?t=17652

The downside is you probably need a seperate system/RPi for this as voice control eats a lot of CPU.
