Failing to make rhasspy launch at startup

Hi everyone

I have a functioning base - satellite system. The satellite is running on a pi zero.

I installed rhasspy on the zero as a .deb package. I’ve managed to properly configure it and it perfectly works when running it through ssh with “rhasspy --profile fr”.
However I fail to make it run at startup as a service.

Here for instance is my rhasspy.service file in system.d

[Unit]
Description=Rhasspy
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/
User=pi
ExecStart=/usr/bin/rhasspy --profile fr
RestartSec=1
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

It runs and correctly picks my settings however I have no sound nor mic. I had the same issues trying to run it directly from rc.local. What am i missing ?

Thanks !

When i was getting mine set up I also came across this Sherlock - Offline Voice Assistant project page which sounds relevant.
