How I added JARVIS to Home Assistant powered Smart Home
Рет қаралды 88,066
Күн бұрынIts finally here…my walk through of my audible notification system, and how I built JARVIS using Home Assistant.
Now, you will hear this multiple times, but this isn’t actually JARVIS in the Artificial Intelligence sense, but simply using JARVIS as the inspiration for my audible notifications. This system is heavy on the YAML and Jinja due to the complexity of the decision logic, but below you will find links to my GitHub config where you can copy and paste as you like.
If you have questions on any piece or I wasn’t clear enough let me know in the comments and I will try to clarify. I tried to balance complexity and making this simple and I am sure in that I left somethings out.
Oh, and the pottery used and around in some of the shots was all custom created by my wife over at katkuriosities...

Great video. My problem with cloud-based TTS is that we sometimes have power outages that last a couple of hours and they occur several times per month in the winter. Although I have a generator to keep things alive, my cable usually dies with any outage. So I guess my solution will have to be a backup "local" system and a normal "cloud" system.

absolutely fantastic! That is really inspiring and I already started building my own script. Thanks for explaining it so well ! I am using google home in general, but like polly a lot, it sound so much better. TTS works fine, but would you be able to start a dialog, e.g. "Jarvis" giving you your good morning briefing but also asking you questions which you can respond and based on your response triggers maybe another script. Somethin simple like, "Good morning [...] would you like to listen to some music" - "yes" -> playing youtube music
@SlackerLabs 2 жыл бұрын
If Google would let us pick our own trigger word definitely. I'm not sure there is way to have a dialog, at least not yet. I have pauses in in my Jarvis dialog so I could give a response if I wanted to play along, but it would do anything with it. Now there might be a way using Amazon Echo if you built your own skills or intents. And I thought about it. But in the end I took the Slacker path.

Jeff, this is golden. Thx for being a teacher and sharing your setup. Was wondering if Jarvis can get voice inputs for conditions, e.g. use HA for detecting a external input such as (rain, storm, snow, someone unknown in the house, someone at the door, …) then TTS the situation with google home and then waiting for an answer like “yes/no/OK…” and then do the appropriate action Simulating a real ai interaction?
@SlackerLabs 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, although its not all that straightforward. You would need a system tied to Home Assistant for prompting and actin on a response. For local options in Home Assistant there is Almond. But it will require some DIY of integrating some speakers and probably some scripting to know it should listen. I dont think that one is ready for the masses in terms of ease of setup and automation. You can use Echo's if you have those. Mark Watt Tech and DrZZZs both did a videos (if I recall) on leveraging the Echo routines to trigger Alexa to ask a question allowing you to respond which could solve this. Of course it relies on the Amazon cloud, but its fairly easy to get started.

I'm use to looking at code though so I suspect the "flow" would make it hard for me to visualize in my head. But since most of this is done in scripts I am not sure how that would work in Node Red. Can node red take a variable from one automation and send it to another automation? After that, if you could build templates in Node red to reduce having to duplicate the TTS pieces then it might make it easier. I'm definitely going to have to look at that.

@SlackerLabs Жыл бұрын
I have played around with that. Especially since the addition of the conversation service. But the responses I have gotten back have been...well...not...good. No matter how much I try to direct the tone it just doesn't work. ChatGPT tries to "be" Jarvis as oppose to just incorporate the personality traits. It could just be I need to prompt it better, but so far, it's much easier and less time consuming for me to just type out the randomization myself. Plus I can include inside jokes. But I think if you weren't trying to recreate a snarky, all knowing digital assistant inspired by JARVIS , then you probably could use ChatGPT and the conversation service to do a lot of this for you and get some good results.

Really nice use of Home Assistant. I just began setting one up, and that's the direction I want to go too (yes, I'm a geek). I looked into your config, but I don't think that I understand everything in it yet and how the different parts work together, so I'm looking forward to videos where you go into detail. Regarding the macros in status_annc, I have a question: when you call different macros to get one long message, I believe you must call them in the order as they are defined in status_annc (so for example you can't call macro_interruption() first and macro_greeting() after it). Is this correct?
@SlackerLabs 2 жыл бұрын
Actually at the bottom of that scipt is the actually part that determines the order. So you could call them in different orders in your automation, but the script will put them in the order that the script calls each section at the end. Its not a super easy layout to visualize.

Thank you for your insight. Here is a rabbit hole. To understand..do you "assume" who is in a specific room, via a presence sensor. ? Thinking about that Jarvis tells that he is already up and playing Minecraft. It really don't know.right? So it could actually be the dog in the kid room. . I am wondering if you can make a setup of video Camara in all rooms.. It would require some hard code. To recognize, who is in the room. In that way it would understand, how and who to adress. Also you would be able to ask where is the dog?.. Jarvis" in the garage". Maybe to much. I also see the need for some " oblivious overrule option". "Jarvis, go blind"
@SlackerLabs 2 жыл бұрын
Yea. There is a fair amount of assumption. But maybe not as much as you think. Jarvis knows which rooms are occupied based on the room presence sensor. And for the kid he has a motion sensor in his room. And in the morning when it senses motion an automation records the time so Jarvis knows when he is up. And it resets as part of the good night routine. Home assistant knows the theater is occupied, the tv is on, and that the PS4 is on. And if it’s 6:30 in the morning and the kid is up and the PS4 is on the assumption he is plying Minecraft. And that’s the only assumption. He could be playing something else. If the tv is on upstairs it will say he is upstairs and watching and then pull the roku app so it might be he is upstairs watching Netflix. Same goes for theater. If Apple TV is on Jarvis will get the app he is watching from the Apple TV integration. There is no way for Jarvis to know who is in what rooms during the day and will normally just say Netflix is on in the theater. Or the tv is on and I don’t sense any people. And if the kid is up and none of tvs are on he simple says he is up but I can’t find him on any of my sensors. I’ll work on going through each notification and break down all the options. But most of it is derived from sensors to get close enough that I can make accurate assumptions

Interestingly some of my other audio things stopped working. I haven't had time to track down but perhaps it is related. I notice my google home devices seem to loose connection from time to time. I need to build an automation that lets me know when they go unavailable.

Thanks @SlackerLabs this is a super helpful video and I had to implement some of it in my configuration too. I am now wondering if it was possible to set-up two different tty polly instances with either different voices or different languages? I was not able by copying the tts configuration and giving it another name.. it always goes back to only using one. If i comment one out, the other works just fine. Or is there a simpler way to call on the fly different languages/voices? Would be awesome if you had figured it out already and can share your knowledge. Thank you

Actually I haven't figured this one out yet, but I have been looking for a solution. Because I too would like to be able to leverage different voices.

@@SlackerLabs I came across TTS-Ultimate in node-red and it seems to do the trick for me. I can call the service with the voice/language settings and it generates the file for me which i then can play on my media_player. Its a bit more uncomfortable I can achieve my goal. The only thing I have to implement is to use the scripts to generate the messages and put them e.g. in an input_text which is then triggering a flow in node_red.. or something like that, have not fully figured it out yet but I think it would be a doable solution.... or have to move also the script to node-red.. I will give it a try. Thanks again for this great inspiration!

So can you not use Amazon polly to send messages to your echo devices?
@SlackerLabs 2 жыл бұрын
Correct. At least in the current way the echos integrate with home assistant. Amazon doesn’t let you play mp3s on the Echos by streaming to the device locally which is needed. You build a skill and probably accomplish it. But I have no interest in doing that.

@SlackerLabs 2 жыл бұрын
Yes. Home assistant is like a local if this than that. You can connect to lots of services that don’t normally talk to each other. And then home assistant can pass information between them.

@@nicolebolin105 If you go the route of using Amazon Polly for your Text to speech then any of the text you translate goes to Amazons servers to be rendered into voice. So Amazon would know that your door is standing open. Or that your laundry hasn't been moved to the dryer. Or whatever you sent to Amazon. Depending on what information you are using in text to speech that might be a privacy issue for you. If you use Alexa or google to trigger Home Assistant routines with your voice then as @Plague Doctor said, those companies would have a recording of your voice saying the routines trigger phrase. But "Jarvis" is simply using Amazon Polly for Text to speech so no recording of your voice is involved unless you use a Alexa or google routine to tigger the Jarvis text to speech.

Hi Jeff, any hope of you doing a video of how to use the macro file you have created for the morning brief? have tried to figure it out but the message just doesn't pass back top the TTS service to talk just simply using, message: !include ../templates/speech/moring_wakeup_report.yaml call the yaml file, run the macro and pass the text back? sorry not a programmer in any means :)

Just as a fun remembrance: LESS than ~ 342 million people on our planet use Fahrenheit. About ~ 5.3 million people can call them self Liberians. About ~ 1.7 million people of them are live in small (mostly islands) states (I counted 11). And ~ 335 million people live in the uSA.
