What are the core requirements for using this skill?

You will need Home Assistant 2024.1 or newer, the Wyoming integration, and local engines like Faster Whisper (STT) and Piper (TTS) for the best experience.

Does this skill support cloud-based voice engines?

Yes, while the skill emphasizes local options like Piper and Whisper for privacy, it provides implementation patterns for OpenAI and Google Cloud TTS/STT integrations.

Can I use this for custom hardware like the ESP32-S3-BOX-3?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific configurations for I2S audio, microphones, and speakers required to turn ESP32-S3 boards into functional voice satellites.

How does this help with intent recognition?

It provides the correct YAML syntax for custom sentences, lists, and optional groups to ensure your voice commands are interpreted accurately by Home Assistant.

Can I define custom responses for my voice commands?

Yes, the skill covers how to configure the conversation engine and intent scripts to provide tailored feedback through your chosen TTS engine.
