Rhasspy, Respeaker and Openhabian/Home Assistant - Most easy setup?

own_rich · May 13, 2021, 11:47pm

Thank you for keeping up with me. Here is what I have in logs:

Ah ok, that looks like an error

Can you post your profile.json? You can find it under advanced:

I scrollt back a little and I see in your home assistant url no http:// in front of the ip address.
Together with the invalid url message, this might be the problem.

Your URL should be http://192.168.1.75:8123, if that is the IP address of you Home Assistant instance.

The issue was that the http:// was missing in my Rhasspy, HA config like you mentionned. Thank you very much. I will be able to explore and start configuring my setup. I’m very hyped. Hope you have a great day and thank you for putting time with me. Since I have you, I will go ahead and ask a last easy question. I was interested by Rhasspy and HA because of the decentralized and privacy preserving ideology. I just want to use my home automation setup without worrying about data leaks or being listened too. Is it possible and a better practice to use my setup completely offline? I don’t want to overkill but want the best privacy preserving and decentralized setup possible. Thank you again

Possible yes, with Rhasspy and Home Assistant everything can be offline.
Best practice? That is a matter of opinion and personal preference

Ok perfect thanks, if it is connected to internet, is there any operating security risks?
Also, let say I want to add a TTS answer after my open bedroom light command, how would I proceed?
I have used the tutorial with node red to setup the TTS tab. It is working. I would like to add specific TTS command to specific intent. Can you please give me the small step to do this? Thank you again sir.

There are a number of methods, but I have 1 that I use.

I have set Rhasspy to send events (not intents). That option is available under the Intent Handling setting:

Whenever you make a command, Rhasspy sends events in with the name rhasspy_<Intentname>
So if you have a [Lights] intent in your sentences, an event is fired with the name rhasspy_Lights.

Create an automation which is fired an that event. See my example here:

What do you exactly mean with “it” in this sentence?

own_rich · May 23, 2021, 11:26am

Wait, we just setup up the intents handling to make my automation get trigged and if I want to add an answer I have to change my whole setup??

romkabouter · May 23, 2021, 8:16pm

You already have an automation? I think I missed that.
What does your automation look like?

romkabouter · May 23, 2021, 9:20pm

I think this topic was a bit long.
I gave the automation already somewhere at the start, including an answer send back.

So now I am confused about the above quote.
What is it that you want to achieve?

own_rich · May 24, 2021, 2:09am

Basically, now that I am able to send events and trigger an automation with the wake word. I would like to receive a vocal answer when the automation as been executed. How would I proceed exactly? Example : Wake word Turn on bedroom light - Bedroomlight intent send rhasspy_Bedroomlight event in HA. At this point, I’d like to receive an answer from the speakers. “Bedroom light has been opened” How can I proceed exactly? Thanks

romkabouter · May 24, 2021, 6:26am

My example automation does exactly that.

romkabouter:

- id: '1581372525473'
  alias: EventLampen
  trigger:
  - event_data: {}
    event_type: rhasspy_Lights
    platform: event
  condition: []
  action:
  - data_template:
      entity_id: light.{{ trigger.event.data.location }}
    service_template: light.turn_{{ trigger.event.data.action }}
  - service: mqtt.publish
    data:
      topic: hermes/dialogueManager/endSession
      payload_template: '{"sessionId": "{{trigger.event.data._intent.sessionId}}",
        "text": "Ok, {{ trigger.event.data.location }} {{trigger.event.data.action}}"}'
  mode: single

The text part in the payload_template does that.

You do not have to use Bedroomlight as intent by the way. You can use Lights.
The service_template knows by the slot location what light you want and by the slot action if it needs to be on or off

So you need sentences with slots and create those slots.
Check here for examples

Ok perfect thank you. It means I should put this specific config in my automation HA tab right?

I do not find mqtt.publish in the tab. Is it normal?

romkabouter · May 25, 2021, 12:50pm

No, it should be there. Is MQTT setup in your HA? (I assume yes)
You can always edit the automation in yaml (either via the three dots or open up automations.yaml)

own_rich · May 25, 2021, 1:04pm

No. I haven’t setup MQTT in HA I believe. This probably means I should go in integration and add MQTT. Also, I have the docker raspberri pi setup.
I did go there but can’t seem to connect to it. take a look:

I tried different ports, with or without the last url character. I might have missed a step somewhere. It is a very extensive setup and I am not a professional. Just trying to learn the DIY. Thanks for the help. I appreciate the time you put in helping people.

romkabouter · May 25, 2021, 1:27pm

Your broker should just be your ip address, your first port is ok (12183)

own_rich · May 25, 2021, 1:31pm

Ok thanks. Do I have to download mosquito or something?

romkabouter · May 25, 2021, 1:48pm

No, Rhasspy is providing that in your setup (ip address + internal rhasspy port)

It is not actually the most ideal setup my opinion
I would

Install moquitto
Use that mosquitto as external mqtt in Rhasspy
Setup the MQTT integration in HA with that mosquitto

own_rich · May 25, 2021, 1:51pm

It doesn’t seem to work…

own_rich · May 25, 2021, 1:56pm

Ok perfect. I will try this. Thank you will update.
