Hi

After having spent hours to try to find an up-to-date ESPHome sketch for Respeaker lite to use it as Voice Assistant, I’m out of solution :frowning: None are working properly or don’t compile anymore as ESPHome got too many breaking updates since :frowning:
Even the demo sketch on Seeed Wiki is not compiling anymore since a while !
Someone succeeded to get it working as Voice Assistant with HA ?

Thanks

Hi Vincèn,

Sorry for late reply. Could you please share your ESPHome’s version? Are you using our YAML file from

As for Arduino Sketch, could you please tell us which sketch cannot compile or won’t work after upload?

Possibly upload error in ESPHome if you use our original YAML config:

Flash_Failed
Flash_Failed2617×1411 238 KB

Perhaps you need to modify the configurations in YAML:

esphome:
  name: esp32s3
  friendly_name: ReSpeakerv3
  platformio_options:
    build_flags: -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM
    board_build.arduino.memory_type: qio_opi
    board_build.f_flash: 80000000L
    board_build.flash_mode: qio 

esp32:
  board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
  framework:
    type: esp-idf

After changing the corresponding build configurations, at least I was able to flash the firmware to ESP32S3 on board reSpeaker Lite (not too successful running though):

Hi Kevin

Thanks for your follow-up and I was trying to compile the sketch supplied on Wiki but it doesn’t work anymore with current ESPHome version (2024.12.4). I have found a sketch that is up to date and works perfect now with Respeaker Lite. I include it below and perhaps I should submit a PR for the wiki to update the sample code for ESPHome no ?

Best,

Vincèn

the main yaml file:

packages:
  respeaker-satellite: !include common/respeaker-satellite-base.yaml

esphome:
  name: voice_assistant
  friendly_name: respeaker-satellite

web_server:

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

Can’t post the include as too big for forum !

If there are any links available, you may paste the links. We shall see what modifications were made and update accordingly.

Thanks. :smiley:

Please try this config file from the community: GitHub - formatBCE/Respeaker-Lite-ESPHome-integration

And we will update the yaml config file in our wiki ASAP :sweat_smile:

here it is: Perso Let me know when you get it so I can delete the file after :wink:

Well received, and you may delete as you want. By comparing with the one that in GitHub link, they are almost identical, thanks to formatBCE, we now have a working configuration file.

We will update our wiki and notify our user with this new version. Also thanks @vincen for your feedback!
