Ha Voice

This handles Home Assistant's Assist voice control setup, covering the full pipeline from wake words through speech-to-text, intent parsing, and text-to-speech responses. You'll use it when building local voice satellites with ESPHome hardware, creating custom sentence patterns for natural commands, or wiring up Piper and Whisper for offline operation. The skill leans hard on the custom_sentences directory structure and slot-based matching instead of hardcoded entity IDs, which keeps your voice commands flexible as you add devices. Worth noting it covers both local and cloud options for STT and TTS, though the local path with Faster Whisper and Piper requires decent disk space and some performance tuning depending on your hardware.
