I am trying to use a custom voice and my local Llama AI. Right now the options for the audio input and output devices are very limited. Alexa devices don't work with Eleven Labs or other custom TTS voice applications. The speaker on the ESP32-S3-Box-3B is very poor quality and there is no easy way to add an external speaker. It is not audible if a TV is playing and HA tries to alert me about some issue. The HA Voice PE has been very unreliable for me. I have to literally pick it up sometimes to get it to recognize my Wake Word. For these reasons, I would like to ask for support for Bluetooth speakers and microphones via a Bluetooth Proxy. This would be an inexpensive way to have Voice Assistant accessible in every room in a larger home without needing them to be near or connected back to the HA computer. I think this would be an excellent addition to the Voice Assistant Pipeline and would enable the user to easibly create custom voices and to be able to converse with HA regardless of what room the user is in.
Device information
ESP32 boards, inexpensive versions on Amazon, such as ESP32 Type C Development Board ESP32S Type-C USB WiFi + Bluetooth ESP-WROOM-32 2.4GHz CH340C Dual Core WiFi NodeMCU Processor Microcontroller ESP32-DevKitC-32
Any inexpenisve bluetooth speaker, such as Anker A-7908
Any inexpensive bluetooth desk microphone, such as one used for conference calls
Use cases
This would enable any user with minimal extra skills to easily add Voice Assistant access in every room in the house. User could then ask HA (via chosen wake word) to control a device, or to ask information such as the weather, time of next meeting, or even how many days until you rspouse's birthday. In the year of the voice assistant, it seems like the hardware is a limitation.
