If you're using the Home Assistant voice assistant mechanism (not Alexa/Google/etc.) how's it working for you?

Given there's a number of knobs that you can use, what do you use and what works well?

  • Wake word model. There's the default models and custom
  • Conservation agent and model
  • Speech to text models (e.g. speech-to-phrase or whisper)
  • Text to speech models

I think itd be a great way to control everything rather than spending hours and hours making dashboards while trying to include the 20 different entities each device comes with without it looking like a jumbled, convoluted mess. "Computer turn off the TV" "Computer turn on the kitchen lights" "Computer open the blinds" "Computer set the thermostat to 73." I dont really use voice commands anywhere else but this sounds like it could be really useful. I gotta start looking at how to enable all this.

did you try using tabs, or separate dashboard pages?
