I’ve pushed version 2.4.15 to Docker and the Hass.IO repository. This release mostly contains bugfixes, but there are a few new features to report.
Preliminary support for Pi Zero
I’ve successfully run Rhasspy on a Pi Zero (PS3 eye USB mic)!
Only the virtual environment option is currently supported (does anyone know of a good armv6l Docker image?)
Kaldi is not working yet, so only profiles with Pocketsphinx will work
Play an “error” sound when an intent isn’t recognized
See the “Intent Recognition” section in Settings to disable this
Customize the sound in the “Sounds” section
Add _text and _raw_text slots to Home Assistant events
Lets you access the ASR transcription in your HA automations
Disable wake word detection while text-to-speech is speaking
See “Text to Speech” section in the Settings tab to re-enable
Using json5 to parse profile.json because I keep forgetting dangling commas
Lots of small fixes
ngrammake errors during training
Pop sound with picotts
Try to recover from failure to initialize PyAudio
Don’t open/close microphone every wake/intent cycle
Most of the work since this last Rhasspy version has been on breaking it up into individual services. Once that’s complete, it will be easier to run pieces of Rhasspy across multiple devices. And, hopefully, it will be easier for developers to contribute fixes or new features
Many, many gracious thanks!! Rhasspy is the perfect solution for those of us who prefer in-home F/OSS solutions to voice control. Why depend on the cloud and someone else’s service? There is no reason, unless you want Amazon or Google or Facebook knowing all your daily comings and goings.
I am Thomas from Germany and an absolute beginner in Rhasspy. Right now i am working with the version 2.4.
But what is the easiest way to update to the current version instead of set up complete new one?
I wasn’t expecting that, but I’ll take credit for it
My guess is that there was something previously preventing the caching mechanism from working. I wonder if running the “Clear Cache” training would take 8 sec again.
Hi, i´ve tried to setup Rhasspy on a pi zero. After setting the variables no_kaldi in download-dependencies.sh and in create-venv.sh true, I´ve got no erros because of no kaldi support. But then, I´ve got the error “unexpected EOF in archive”. Mayby theres a bug in the archive or something went wrong trough the compression?
After installing Rhasspy on my Pi 3b+ and also on my pi zero, i´ll get this the error “compressed file ended before the end-of-stream marker was reached”. I´ve installed rhasspy out of docker on the pi3 and in the virtual environment on the pi zero. Seems like this is a problem of the new version, because some days ago with 2.4.14, everything worked fine.
