Any word from the HA Voice PE team yet on when the ESP32 firmware will support custom wake words?
There have been some community projects training new microWakeWord wake word models, and there have even been some additional wake words trained and uploaded to the official microWakeWord repository, as well.
Even if the implementation is somewhat primitive / limited, I’d still like to see it. For example, have the firmware look for a specific file (like /config/voicepe/wake/model.json,model.tflite) and if it exists, then allow that to be used as a fourth “Custom” option in the wake word dropdown.
My family doesn’t like any of the wake words that come out of the box because they aren’t easy to say or remember, especially for kids. Having more options, or the ability to add custom / third party trained models, is really the only major complaint I have about it at this point!
