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

I have speech to text with whisper working on my phone. HA is set to the default assistant on my phone so I can control lights, timers and scenes from 1 action on my phone or watch. Works well once I set friendly names for each light, room, device and scene.
