We have implemented all of the new features developed for the Voice Preview Edition!
24+
The voice assistant component supports starting conversations from Home Assistant and
25+
continuing conversations without needing to reactivate the wake word.
26+
Additionally, microWakeWord supports enabling and disabling models via yaml actions.
27+
The voice assistant component, through Home Assistant, can also change the active
28+
on-device wake word. If you use our prebuilt voice assistant firmwares, then you
29+
will receive an update notification automatically in Home Assistant adding support
30+
for these new features!
31+
32+
If you have taken control or created your own voice assistant configuration, you may
33+
need to adjust them to support these new features. Please see the newly updated
34+
examples in our wake word voice assistant firmware repository to get started.
35+
36+
It is now easier to configure and use microphones. Multiple components can
37+
simultaneously read from one microphone. Each individual component using a microphone
38+
can also set their own specific gain level or specify which microphone channel to use.
39+
Microphone settings are validated at compilation, and most settings are converted,
40+
if necessary, without any extra configuration. Your existing YAML files should still
41+
build without any adjustments. However, if your microphone was previously configured
42+
to use 32 bits per sample, then you should add a gain factor of 4 to match
43+
ESPHome's previous behavior. For example:
44+
45+
.. code-block:: yaml
46+
47+
voice_assistant:
48+
microphone:
49+
microphone: echo_microphone
50+
gain_factor: 4
