HOW TO - Replace Google For an ESP32 (Onju Voice)
Переглядів 88,823
День томуIn todays video we are running through the full setup and install of the Onju Voice Board I featured in a video a few weeks back. You can pick these boards up directly from www.PCBWay.com
The Onju Voice Project and PCBs where designed and created by Justin Alvey. The YAML file featured in the video was originally written by Tudor Sandu (tetele). A huge thank you to both of these guys for all the work.
Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring todays video. Head over to www.PCBWay.com to get started with designing and creating your own custom PCBs, 3D prints and much much more!

@MarkWattTech 4 місяці тому
This is a great little project to have a tinker with but if you are planning on switching from google I would definitely suggest waiting on more support from ESPHome with things like media playback etc etc. At the minute this would just be a HA device and nothing you could play music quickly and efficiently through.
@Obtuse94 4 місяці тому
Playing music seems like one of the least important features (albeit nice to have), the winner here is de-googling the microphones, nice looking case, etc to run with Home Assistant in a local capacity.

One thing I'd wonder (more about the HA voice than this device in particular) is what if multiple speakers hear your command? Does it prioritize based on which speaker heard the command first? Is this configurable?

I've also got my boards and installed them into two Nest Mini 2. Both works, but I've noticed that after 12 hours they just stopped responding, look like mics are not active. I don't see any coming logs in ESP Home until I restart Nest Mini by plugging off the power cord. Any idea of reason of it ?
@HifiCentret 4 місяці тому
Interesting! Could be time to play a little with Home Assistant again. I've been working lately on phasing Alexa out. She works well and in the past Philips Hue had big issues with Google (or the other way round, didn't pair, sync and work well). However lately I'm becomming annoyed by Alexa for a few reasons. She constantly reminds me to buy new batteries and you have to disable it on a per device basis - I'll change batteries when they're not working - not when there's still many months of use still left in them. Second when you sync devices she doesn't clean out old stuff that are no longer referenced in the linked accounts - that is even more annoying. So in the near future she's retired and replaced solely by Google - which by the way speaks my native language while Alexa doesn't

It would be nice if Google would allow us to create 3rd party firmware for our Google devices. I've got 2 Google Home Mini devices, but I'm not using them because I dont want Google listening to me.

Nice project ! How do you manage the speech recognition (is it possible to test it ?) and the text-to-speech function ? I need only a speech recognition witch can run a web request. Is it possible with your project and without home assistant ?

That was done with home assistant voice assistant pipeline. There aren't that many options for locally run voice assistants, it might be the only one right now. If you Don't want to run home assistant, then you don't even need this project as you can just turn on a googke nest and use the google assistant

Unfortunately ordering custom pcb's means a minimum order of 5. It would be great if we could form a co-op buying these if we only need 1, so it doesn't cost $86 to end up with 4 extra boards. If anyone who has these was interested in testing and selling thier spare boards, that would be awesome as well

The Home Assistant setup he showed is local only, though you can pay to have it hosted by them. Home Assistant is hosted on a local computer, a lot of people us Raspberry Pis, but if you want to run off-grid Voice Recognition, that you'll want something more powerful.

You can get the home assistant box which uses a Raspberry PI 4 compute module. It won't be the fastest thing out there, but it can run a few voice assistants alright.

In the generated config that you replace with your prepared one, you can see a WiFi password you typed in in the step before. It looks "too authentic" to be a random placeholder. Might want to check that. Otherwise great video, I was looking into using myroft to build an interactive music/story player for my kids, but this might be an easier way without to much tinkering.

Are you on about the access point hotspot password? If so then its not a big deal. That's like when you turn on hotspot on your phone and someone else has to type in a password to connect to it. It was probably auto generated if I was to guess pal.

@izaicslinux6961 3 місяці тому
Being able to take control of what it does and knowing it's not sending data anywhere you don't want it to. You can also setup scripts to run on voice commands, so it's a heck of a lot more flexible... Yeah, it doesn't play music yet, and there's no alarms either, but those are being actively worked towards.

yes, it doesn't rely on the cloud. But from my experience of using voice assist on HA. It's 'miles' away from being a viable day-to-day replacement to Alexa or Google. Believe me, I'd love to bin off the old 'NSA Pringles Tin' but the functionality still isn't there yet for me. Plus, if you're looking for natural language parsing, you're likely to still be relying on OpenAI's cloud services.
