I am making an esphome system for my old Yamaha AV receiver. RCA out via a cheap i2s chip, mems I2S mic in the enclosure that can hear well enough in the room, and an IR blaster output to change the AV receiver channel to the esp when voice is activated and change it back after.

Cool side effect is that it can also be used as an HA media player for streaming Spotify and local music to the speaker system.

Yes, but you pretty much have to do a full battery test and pen test like the great Scott video because it is really a 60/40 of getting fake sodium ion batteries from Aliexpress 😅

Sorry, I misunderstood what you are trying to do here. I thought you were trying to use the Atom Echo itself as a media player. Disregard that arduino library comment, it isn’t relevant. I just watched the video since I couldn’t earlier.

Indeed what you are doing should work. Are you certain that the upload was successful? With GPIO21 set as the speaker output, the speaker data should absolutely not work. The fact that it does means that somewhere along the line, the GPIO22 is set as the speaker output.

on_tts_end: you have a media player component while you define a speaker instead. They are not interchangeable. It is likely trying to grab default values from somewhere because of that. Media player is better if you want the device to also play music or alerts through home assistant instead of voice assistant or some preset wav files.

Media player is also a speaker using an arduino library (not compatible with esp_adf as that uses the esp-idf framework and not arduino). If you want to use the media player, you have to get rid of vad_threshold and the esp_adf.

Please follow this yaml for an esp-idf config using the speaker instead of the media player: https://github.com/esphome/firmware/blob/main/voice-assistant/m5stack-atom-echo.yaml

Do people know if he is using one of the yaml configs on github or has his own?

I am currently developing a PoE ESP-C3 bridge for the LD2410 and 2450 (don’t know if I will sell it or just have all of the files available to make yourself) do I am doing a bit of research. When I make mine open source anyway, I guess the license will be similar to the skreek version anyway so I can work off of his.

I tried but there is no app for it.

Fdroid has pixeldroid which is apparently incompatible with my android 12 phone?

The pixelfed app isn’t downloadable on Fdroid and is only available for “pre-download” on the play store.

I couldn’t find out how to access pixelfed through a mastodon app.

If it isn’t easily accessible through mobile, it simply won’t be picked up.

I do, but the music streaming on jellyfin is nowhere near as nice as plexamp.

Just syncing all of your files locally is far superior to either unless your library is like >250GB.

Streaming is a different use case than playing your own music which is essentially what plexamp and jellyamp are doing with extra steps. There are much better local music players than either option.

There is no point to self hosting music streaming in my opinion.

Just have syncthing sync your music folder on your SD card to your server. Everything local and available when you want it.

Plex is slowly being enshittified too it seems, just slower.

Well many smart locks can be exploited physically rather than hacking wise.

On the other hand, flipper zero can probably exploit a lot of 2.4GHz locks.

It was just copied frame by frame from LG 16 years before.

The death of creativity is very apt considering they had no creativity making it, they just stole it and remade it.

They don’t want people to innovate. Innovation is a buzzword that they use to market themselves as something other than parasites.

Most companies want to safely follow market trends to suck away large profit margin with minimal payout to workers. If they make a product that doesn’t work, they just assert that it does and that the customer is wrong.

That’s also why they intentionally quiet fire seniors like in the article. They don’t give a fuck about quality or innovation. They want the cheapest labor possible while hiking service/product pricing.

They don’t want employees to be happy. They want them to be cheap and exploitable.

That is literally the base form of businesses in the flawed reality of capitalism.

Parent control

Do you have an authentication frontend like Authelia in front of your Jellyfin domain? Apps often break with that extra security layer in front.

It’s funny because everyone arguing for phones and tablets for kids is like “hurt durr but their education”

You know what the vast vast vast majority of kids use the phones and tablets for? Fucking sure as hell that it isn’t education.

Addicting microtransaction games, social media, and the lowest trash YouTube channels.

Pretty much every teacher in existence will tell you that phones for young kids have been hell and the kids can’t focus at all and have much more trouble learning.

And every single person with any awareness at all will know that social media has been an absolute plague to kids social and mental health.

Sure give a phone to your kid when they are 14, 15, 16. But when they are in primary school it is not needed and they are at the most risk for every bad aspect of phones.

Or, because studies have shown that in early and mid childhood development stages cell phones and tablets can actually stunt motor proficiancy and cause arrested social development, just give them a damn key.

Much easier than every single other option. If they lose things, actually parent them and teach them to be responsible and different organizational methods and tie the key to something they always have.

It ends when musk popularizes his shitty brain microchip and the engineers figure out technology to project image and sound into your head.

24/7 unmodifiable banner ads, ads while you sleep, ads related to what you see that cover your vision until you pay an extra subscription fee, then just border ads.

That is the future that musk and tech BoDs cum in their pants for.

The consumer advertising industry is a scourge of humanity. The dregs of the groveling worms.

Government grants should come with government share % of the company.

Or at least with heavy requirements and obligations like every government “grant” for normals people.

There are a few add-ons that are very handy that don’t have a docker equivalent. Namely the google cloud backup.

I also agree that you generally don’t need add-ons and hopefully if someone is running HA on docker, they don’t need them, but for a few select ones, it is “needed”
