1 month ago Hey @andzejsp that is a super interesting idea.
So from what I am understanding:
- You want to "talk" to the device running Go Hass Agent. Something like "hey agent pay the moody blues on the lounge speaker".
- Go Hass Agent converts your speech to a command.
- Go Hass Agent sends the command text to Home Assistant.
- Home Assistant does its magic to start playing the moody blues on the lounge speaker.
- Home Assistant sends the results back to Go Hass Agent.
- Go Hass Agent gives you some kind of acknowledgement.
From what is available, I think I can do the above, but I'd need to look into some kind of text to speech engine (which shouldn't be a big hurdle).
The wake word functionality might be trickier. I'll have to look into that.
I think this all is possibly doable. It's a very cool idea!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Im looking for a way to use the pc to control my home assistant using voice controls STT and receive back responses TTS and jingle on the pc (media player)
Describe the solution you'd like Similar to what ESPhome but with pc power. ESP devices are weak, unreliable. PC is much stable and in my case always running. I would like for it to record mic while its on to check for openwakeword, if wake word is triggered then it sends a jingle to my speakers that are connected to pc and starts listening for my commands. After the command is done its sent to assist and then it returns approval or something to the speakers on the pc. I would use this to for example lower volume on the pc when something is playing or interact with home assistant when im there.
Describe alternatives you've considered No alternatives have been found so far.
Additional context This would use the existing devices and would give more quality of life to people with disabilities without buying more unstable devices like ESP, raspberry etc..
