Welcome to my video on "Local Voice Assistance with Wake Word in Home Assistant"! In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the process of enhancing your smart home with a local wake word voice assistant using the Home Assistant platform.
With the advancements in technology, having a voice assistant that responds to your commands has become a common feature in modern homes. However, most commercially available voice assistants rely heavily on cloud-based services, raising concerns about privacy and potential data breaches.
That's where Home Assistant comes in! By integrating a local Wake Word voice assistant, you can enjoy the convenience of voice control while keeping your data securely within your home network.
In this video, I'll show you how to set up and configure a local wake word voice assistant using Home Assistant. I'll guide you through the installation process, demonstrate the wake word feature, and showcase how it can seamlessly integrate with your existing smart home devices.
By leveraging Home Assistant's extensive compatibility with various devices and services, you'll have the freedom to navigate your smart home effortlessly with voice commands triggered by a wake word of your choice.
Whether you want to turn off lights, adjust the thermostat, or control any other device - your voice assistant will be there to assist you every step of the way, all while keeping your data private and secure.
Don't miss out on this valuable opportunity to enhance your smart home experience with a local wake-word voice assistant. Watch my tutorial now and take your home automation to the next level!

I appreciate your video. When running locally or with Home Assistant Cloud, it can be much faster than Alexa and Google Home for commands. But to be honest, the ESP Home track is a side track. This would gain much more momentum if you could use wake words with dashboards. We all have dashboards already. For instance, have some old Windows 10 tablets (Toshiba Click Mini) where I run web apps for Home Assistant and Alexa side by side. One with wake words, one without. I'd love for it to evolve further. And, I guess it might.

This is great and will certainly be interesting to many Smart Home enthusiasts. However, I don't see this replacing Assistant or Alexa, because they do more than just control smart home entities. Playing media answering questions, controlling TVs and other entertainment Devices and of course setting timers, reminders and calendar entries are features that are unlikely to all fit into Home Assistant, so I see this as an addition, not a replacement. In a perfect world, Google or Alexa Speakers would be fully integrated into Home Assistant and would allow us the best of both worlds...intuitive control of our Smart Home and all the additional stuff these "smart" speakers do.
