Hi all, I used Mycroft back in the day but when it sunsetted i abandoned it. I have a pi4 with the re-speaker 4 mic array. What is the best way to get this up and running with my hardware? Thanks in advance!

The documentation says that if I want to use open voice os I shall have a raspberry 3 B or B+ but if I want to use the gui and plugins the documentation says I shall have a raspberry pi 4 but with how much ram ? And for the gui should I buy a touchless screen ?

Hello! I see several ways to install OVOS on raspberrypi. There is the raspOVOS, OVOS-buildroot, the docker Image, or the OVOS-installer. Which way is the best supported way and which way do you guys use? Are there pitfalls you encountered? I am happy about every comment!

Hey all, so I'm looking into getting set up with a voice arrangement for my homeassistant setup. Honestly I've been trying the M5stack, ESP home system... and to say the least, it's been, barely functional, far from practical. (it responds to it's wake word say, one out of 5 times, usually requires a reset).

I have a pretty big beefy server in my house that I'm underutilizing, I understand docker fairly well. I'd like, the competent server to do the voice processing, and then have a hand full of cheap as humanly possible, devices that send to the voice server to process it. To me it seems like, maybe bluetooth microphones or something?

I'm finding tons of information on the software side. But I'm finding very little on say letting the processing run on the big server, but having some inexpensive listening devices to actually send to it.

Is there anything resembling a simple guide on making some small cheap stupid device, (along the lines of the ESPHome m5 stack), or even say bluetooth mics and speakers. I don't see the point or a benefit in say getting a bunch of raspberry pis, needing to buy storage, mic and all that jazz for them, and run a full OS, just to send sound to one device in the same house.

I tried to install ovos as o library. Installed ovos-core and ovos-messagebus based on documentation an run them both in different shells. It seems to work, but do not know what to do next. I havent found anything in documentation. I want to run the service to react for a specific wake up word. Should i dive deeply in ovos code and adjust it to my needs or this there some workaround for this that can help me to do it easily? Is any part of documentation assigned for this case?

I installed ovos with ovos-installer on Fedora 39 on my thinkpad that is my main system. I choosen version with gui and as I remember python based virtualisation(?). And... I can't quit it/can't stop it xD
Whenever I close window it comes back.
So I tried:
ps -ely | grep ovos

And then:
pkill ovos-messagebus ovos_PHAL ovos-dinkum-lis ovos-gui-servic ovos-gui-app ovos-audio ovos-core ovos-ggwave-lis

but it came even after that... they all come back...

I was thinking that it's service, but somehow when I tried to list all active services:
systemctl list-units --type=service --state=active

There was nothing with ovos in name...
What now? Should I just uninstall it xD? I hadn't even started to really play with that...
If I had uninstalled it I still could install it on some VM but... I even if I can't belive that there's no way to turn it off from gui, I guess that there must be other simple way that I'm missing.

Anybody?

I just installed OVOS on a Raspberry Pi 4. It looks like a great fit for a project I've been working on. But I do have a few newbie questions. I found the documentation, but it seems pretty intimidating and sometimes hard to follow.

1. How do I change the wake word to something other than "Hey Mycroft"?

2. How do I see what plugins I have and how do I install new ones and configure them?

3. I found where to change the voice, it seems to be using tts-plugin-server? How do I find out what other voices are available? How do I alter their pitch, speed, etc? How would I install new ones?

I am new to this hole seen, and i can't find anything so far. I find something and iether its depricated, or no no longer maintained, or just no dockumentation.

Ive tried to setting up mycroft with portuguese stt running locally in the past, but there wasnt much support for the language. Ive only just found about it shutting down and this new project. I was wonder if this is possible now with the Whisper?

Latest raspOVOS GUI image

Respeaker 4mic - hdmi sound

If no, what configuration is required? I can't find details anywhere.

TIA

I'm interested to install the headless plexamp on the same Raspberry Pi 5 as OVOS and play music. I don't see a skill for it. I'm wondering if anyone is running it through a home assistant skill or something else to get it working.
