Great hack. I may just give this one a go, but will need to order the amp and BT speaker first. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for showing.
Great overview but: Can you post the wiring diagram. Which pins from mic and speaker to the ESP32. And the ESP is a standard WROMM32, no S3 or anything?
Wonderful. Exactly what i was looking for. Now i hope i'm gonna managed to build this. I first have to find a similar Bluetooth speaker here in France. Thx for the video
That looks interesting. I may do a few of these and put my Raspberry Pi Zero 2 Ws running the Wyoming Satellite software (plus Snapcast Client) inside a couple of the Onn powered PC speakers.
Even better, make a video. Would love to see how you do that and if it works good.
@@danieljansen1987 I plan on doing that once I clean up my work area and get few more things done to make the demonstration work to my satisfaction.
@@danieljansen1987I plan to at some point. I just need to do a few things first.
Is the far field mic enough? I've seen on some other builds they use a combination of far field and near field mic, I'm not sure how much does that improve the performance, precision or reliability of the voice recognition. Also, what are you using for your HA server?
The mic works OK. Its really sensitive to background noise. I am using a bare metal I7 Machine with 16gb RAM.
Thank you for your sharing. may i know your home assistant backend hardware info? Pi5 or another hardware. I found that your device response time very fast 😮 nice work.

Thanks. Appreciate the "why" explanations, too.
Good Job 👍 but i miss the ‚Micro Wake Word‘ or the on-device wake word. The Esp32-S3-Box is sould out evrywhare.
You could get MicroWakeWord functionality with a build like this. Swap in something like a Lolin S3 board with 8mb PSRAM
That's a nice mod, a shame there is no Wallmart in Europe :D
Was there a reason why you didn’t wire directly to the aux port on the speaker to keep the full function of the speaker, amp, and controls?
The board that controls the volume and such wont operate without the battery installed. The battery needs to be removed to make room inside. Im sure its possible to get it to work, I just didnt want to spend the time on it.
Just starting out with Home Assistant and ESP32s; would this speaker also work for media output? There would be more automation steps in HA; but after proper configurations, I could also say: "nabu, play spotify playlist ABC;" and would it play from the speaker, or does this turn the speaker into only a Voice assistant box?
This particular config does not have a media player component.
This is exactly what I want out of a smart speaker (for Home Assistant). I believe the best way to do this is with a Pi Zero 2 W running the Wyoming Satellite alongside the Snapcast software so it can do both.
@00 Thats actually my next move. I have components for 7 Wyoming Satellites coming. 3 are going to be used in these.
Sweet! Honestly I would probably be willing to just buy these pre-made, any interest in selling ready-made units? @@Rich33527
Very Nice, but how do you connect it to Home Assistant ?
That question is answered in the Everything Smart Home video I liked in the description.
how to ask about the weather,
Could you apply this to an Alexa speaker or Google speaker?
Im sure you could. I dont know if you can make room for the components inside. Ive not pulled one apart to see. It just seems like a higher monetary risk using one of those though.
There is a custom PCB you can order to replace the Nest 2 and make it local.
@@TheHellis You're talking about the Onju Voice board, if I'm not mistaken. If someone had four or five of the Google Home Mini units, that would be a worthwhile investment because you can't seem to buy in smaller quantities unless you set up a group buy for it. Im not aware as of yet of a counterpart for the Amazon Alexa, although I suppose the basic design might be similar enough to work.
Does the buttons still work?
No. You remove the board with the buttons.
