I guess you’re looking in Home Assistant for the user interface ? Because it’s not there. Rhasspy has its own web interface at port 12101.
For example one of my Rhasspy satellites is installed on a RasPi Zero at IP address 192.168.1.92 (I prefer IP addresses rather than naming my machines)
Maybe I didn’t explain it right…nothing new there LOL
Here’s what I mean…this is the backend in HA… where it says start in the lower corner…when I hit that it spins for a second but never starts… When it does you’ll get your webui link…but I can’t even get it start…
OK … I have noticed Rhasspy can take a while to start up, on my Raspberry Pi running HAOS. What hardware are you running Home Assistant and Rhasspy on ?
Rhasspy certainly generates a lot of log file, making it hard to spot the important things. So lets just take one thing at a time.
I am in the process of swapping to a DELL pc with i5 … and so far it doesn’t feel very fast. Maybe once it is all installed
Thought … if you are looking at the Rhasspy “Settings” page, scroll to the very top of the page and see if there is a button there about loading required files ?
