I was very excited because my m5Atom Echos arrived today in my mailbox. I was searching this topic here but I cannot figure out how to use this M5 as satellite and which settings in Rhasspy (server – Hassio-Addon) I have to chose. Can someone make a short write-up here? I already flashed sucessfully the m5 and webinterface of M5 is working properly. But now I am stuck.
Set MQTT to external and connect it to your broker ( I suggest using the MQTT addon)
On every setting, fill in the Satellite siteIds: field with the siteId you have set in the M5 echo
Set Intent Handling to Home Assistant if you are using that, and Dialogue Manager to Rhasspy
Set Audio Playing to Hermes
You can leave Audio Recording to disabled, because Rhasspy will pickup the MQTT audio streams you have filled in the Satallites Ids field autmatically.
AWESOME! this is the smallest IoT device in my house and the MOST efficient Thanks soooooooooooooooooooooooooo mich… WAF 100%!!! I will place them all in the house as they are small and with usbc i can attach them to outlets with usb exit.
If I could maybe as for some feature requests and if they are out of scope or not.##But as this little tiniy device has plenty of technic on board I was thinking to use it also as room detection (bluetooth tracking). Would that be an option / possible?
Another BIG question. Is it possible to send tts to the mini devices? I hang a bit and forgot how to make this
I don
t hear any sound but i hear the beep and beep and also when I ask for the time I have sound … Just the speak thing in this config wonÄt give me anything
If you use Home Assistant as Intent Handler, I suggest setting Rhasspy to send events and not intents.
You events can then be use in automations, also sending TTS like so:
This will react on Rhasspy to turn on the light.bedroom and push a TTS message with “Ok, bedroom on” to Rhasspy. Which in turn will play it on the device where the wakeword was triggered from.
thanks a lot. I was playing around with at the time 2 satellites. but each time i use one sattelite the other won’t work anymore. i have to unplug the cable from the m5 echo min and restart. I read a lot in the forum here and saw that i must set the sideID on base and satellites the same? can you confirm this? what’s your setup? are u using the m3 echo mini? I have really pain to get it running good wth more than 1 sattelite. i now will change all dise id to default /base and satellites and see if this helps. If you have any hint … I would apprecite. or maybe i join better the discord channel?
I am just testing the lasted 2.5.11 and I cannot get the second satellite working. I odn
t see any difference at the moment in the wakeword recognition. But I will keep testing. Sure I am doing things wrong
As I am really new and love this project I will post my config here … maybe u see what i am doing wrong?
Hi. As soon as I plug in the second m3 echop mini with another side ID it lags like hell or stops working completely. As this project is soo complex Is there anything I can debug? My devices are even on a seperate wifi and network dedicated for them. It it not about the connecttion… that for sure as i have Unifi AP placed all around my house.
There is something to observe as LED show different colors for different MQTT message if i am not wrong. Sometimes it stays red… sometimes it even tunr off.
I just tested. When I change to talk to another satellite it works BUT it takes me maybe 4 times to say the wakeword. Is there an issue or can (how) train this? Sorry for this awful questiopns but i try to understand and help with the project as much as I can. I confirm it works with two satellites. I will first test out with two before adding the third
Do you have an “ultimate” rhasspy config? Maybe we can make a database with settings for different devices? I would start with M2 Echo Mini If you are ok with that?
I thought this was about an M5 Atom Echo, am I mistaken?
By default, red is not connected to wifi. blue is idle and green is hotword detected
That’s cool. What hardware is the server?
Are those M3 and M2 both esp32 devices? I do not know them.
I do not have an ultimate config, that kind of configuration is almost always too complicated.
Not sure what you mean by settings for different devices.
sorry it is a M5 Atrom Mini, I have green light when idle red light random and almost never blue on one of the M5. My server is a Intel NUC. Normally enough power. it is not a new one but with 8 GR RAM and all dockers and stuff run really good. Sometimes I have to tell the wakework 5 6 7 8 times before it reacts. Is there a way I can debug and see where the issue comes from ? Well when your config is too complaicated I maybe do not wanna se it but it would be interesting anyway.
just a note … i switched back to Hassio addon and it seem text to speech is broken? I get the beeps for the wakeword but no text spoken.I set it to NanoTTS
You can attach the M5 to your pc and there will be stuff printed to the Serial output.
Personally I do not have a M5 Atom Mini, but a M5 Atrom Echo.
So I can not tell you what is wrong, but since it is a different device a can imagine incompatiblity
