## Current State
|
|
|
|
### What's Working
|
|
| Component | Status | Port/Location |
|
|
|-----------|--------|---------------|
|
|
| Wyoming STT (Whisper large-v3) | ✅ Running | tcp://0.0.0.0:10300 |
|
|
| Wyoming TTS (Kokoro ONNX) | ✅ Running | tcp://0.0.0.0:10301 |
|
|
| openWakeWord daemon | ✅ Running | Detects "hey_jarvis" |
|
|
| OpenClaw Gateway | ✅ Running | ws://127.0.0.1:8080 |
|
|
| Home Assistant | ✅ Running | http://10.0.0.199:8123 |
|
|
| Ollama | ✅ Running | http://localhost:11434 |
|
|
|
|
### What's Broken
|
|
1. **Wake word → STT gap**: The `wakeword_daemon.py` detects the wake word but does NOT capture the subsequent audio command
|
|
2. **OpenClaw /wake endpoint**: Returns 404 - OpenClaw doesn't expose this endpoint by default
|
|
3. **No audio routing**: After wake word detection, there's no mechanism to stream audio to STT and route the transcript to OpenClaw
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Architecture Options
|
|
|
|
### Option A: Full Wyoming Satellite (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
Replace the custom `wakeword_daemon.py` with a proper Wyoming satellite that handles the full pipeline.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A[USB Mic] --> B[Wyoming Satellite]
|
|
B -->|wake detected| B
|
|
B -->|audio stream| C[Wyoming STT :10300]
|
|
C -->|transcript| B
|
|
B -->|text| D[OpenClaw via WebSocket]
|
|
D -->|response| E[Wyoming TTS :10301]
|
|
E -->|audio| F[Speaker]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pros:**
|
|
- Standard Wyoming protocol - works with Home Assistant
|
|
- Handles wake word, VAD, audio streaming, and response playback
|
|
- Can be used with ESP32 satellites later
|
|
|
|
**Cons:**
|
|
- Need to write a custom satellite or use `wyoming-satellite` package
|
|
- More complex than a simple script
|
|
|
|
### Option B: Enhanced Wake Word Daemon
|
|
|
|
Extend `wakeword_daemon.py` to capture audio after wake word and send to STT.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A[USB Mic] --> B[wakeword_daemon.py]
|
|
B -->|wake detected| B
|
|
B -->|record 5s| B
|
|
B -->|audio file| C[Wyoming STT :10300]
|
|
C -->|transcript| B
|
|
B -->|POST /agent| D[OpenClaw]
|
|
D -->|response| E[TTS via Wyoming]
|
|
E -->|audio| F[Speaker via afplay]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pros:**
|
|
- Simpler to implement
|
|
- Keeps existing code
|
|
|
|
**Cons:**
|
|
- Not standard Wyoming protocol
|
|
- Won't integrate with Home Assistant voice pipelines
|
|
- Harder to extend to ESP32 satellites
|
|
|
|
### Option C: Home Assistant as Hub
|
|
|
|
Use Home Assistant's voice pipeline as the central coordinator.
|
|
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart LR
|
|
A[USB Mic] --> B[HA Wyoming Integration]
|
|
B -->|wake| C[HA Voice Pipeline]
|
|
C -->|audio| D[Wyoming STT :10300]
|
|
D -->|text| C
|
|
C -->|intent| E[HA Conversation Agent]
|
|
E -->|response| C
|
|
C -->|text| F[Wyoming TTS :10301]
|
|
F -->|audio| G[Speaker]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pros:**
|
|
- Leverages existing HA infrastructure
|
|
- Works with Assist UI and mobile app
|
|
- Easy to add ESP32 satellites
|
|
|
|
**Cons:**
|
|
- OpenClaw not directly in the loop (HA handles conversation)
|
|
- Need to configure HA as conversation agent or use custom component
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Recommended Approach: Hybrid (Option A + C)
|
|
|
|
1. **Phase 1**: Get HA voice pipeline working first (Option C)
|
|
- Register Wyoming STT/TTS in Home Assistant
|
|
- Create voice assistant pipeline
|
|
- Test via HA Assist UI
|
|
|
|
2. **Phase 2**: Write Wyoming satellite for Mac Mini (Option A)
|
|
- Use `wyoming-satellite` package or write custom
|
|
- Connects to HA as a satellite device
|
|
- Handles local wake word + audio capture
|
|
|
|
3. **Phase 3**: Wire OpenClaw as custom conversation agent
|
|
- Create HA custom component or use REST command
|
|
- Route conversation to OpenClaw instead of HA default
|

## Implementation Plan
|
|
|
|
### Phase 1: Home Assistant Voice Pipeline (Sprint 1 completion)
|
|
|
|
- [x] Open HA UI → Settings → Integrations → Add Integration → Wyoming Protocol
|
|
- [x] Add STT provider: host `10.0.0.199`, port `10300`
|
|
- [x] Add TTS provider: host `10.0.0.199`, port `10301`
|
|
- [ ] Create Voice Assistant pipeline in HA
|
|
- [ ] Test via HA Assist panel (type a query, hear response)
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2: Wyoming Satellite for Mac Mini
|
|
|
|
- [x] Install `wyoming-satellite` package in homeai-voice-env
|
|
- [x] Configure satellite with openWakeWord integration
|
|
- [x] Write launchd plist for satellite service
|
|
- [ ] Register satellite in Home Assistant
|
|
- [ ] Test full wake → STT → HA → TTS → playback cycle
|
|
|
|
### Phase 3: OpenClaw Integration
|
|
|
|
- [x] Research OpenClaw's WebSocket API for sending messages
|
|
- [x] Write HA custom component or automation to route to OpenClaw
|
|
- [x] Configure OpenClaw to respond via TTS
|
|
- [ ] Test full voice → OpenClaw → action → response flow
|

## Technical Details
|
|
|
|
### Wyoming Satellite Configuration
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example satellite config
|
|
satellite:
|
|
name: "Mac Mini Living Room"
|
|
wake_word:
|
|
model: hey_jarvis
|
|
threshold: 0.5
|
|
stt:
|
|
uri: tcp://localhost:10300
|
|
tts:
|
|
uri: tcp://localhost:10301
|
|
audio:
|
|
input_device: default
|
|
output_device: default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### OpenClaw WebSocket API
|
|
|
|
Based on the gateway health check, OpenClaw uses WebSocket for communication:
|
|
- URL: `ws://127.0.0.1:8080`
|
|
- Auth: Token-based (`gateway.auth.token` in config)
|
|
- Agent: `main` (default)
|
|
|
|
To send a message:
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw agent --message "Turn on the lights" --agent main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Home Assistant Integration
|
|
|
|
**Bridge Script**: [`homeai-agent/skills/home-assistant/openclaw_bridge.py`](homeai-agent/skills/home-assistant/openclaw_bridge.py)
|
|
|
|
Python bridge that calls OpenClaw CLI and returns JSON response:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 openclaw_bridge.py "Turn on the lights" --raw
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**HA Configuration**: [`homeai-agent/skills/home-assistant/ha-configuration.yaml`](homeai-agent/skills/home-assistant/ha-configuration.yaml)
|
|
|
|
Example shell command for HA:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
shell_command:
|
|
openclaw_chat: 'python3 /Users/aodhan/gitea/homeai/homeai-agent/skills/home-assistant/openclaw_bridge.py "{{ message }}" --raw'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Full Integration Guide**: [`homeai-agent/skills/home-assistant/OPENCLAW_INTEGRATION.md`](homeai-agent/skills/home-assistant/OPENCLAW_INTEGRATION.md)
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Open Questions
|
|
|
|
1. **Does OpenClaw expose an HTTP API for chat?** The gateway seems WebSocket-only.
|
|
2. **Can we use `openclaw agent` CLI from an automation?** This would be the simplest integration.
|
|
3. **Should we use HA's built-in conversation agent first?** This would validate the voice pipeline before adding OpenClaw complexity.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Next Actions
|
|
|
|
1. Complete HA Wyoming integration (manual UI steps)
|
|
2. Test HA Assist with typed queries
|
|
3. Research `wyoming-satellite` package for Mac Mini
|
|
4. Decide on OpenClaw integration method
