Have the ability to install a service like Rhasspy so that Gladys can have a voice.
Either a button that automatically starts the container or a tutorial to do it with Gladys.
I suppose that’s your next target @pierre-gilles given the number of votes?
@damalgos is on top of what I’ve understood 
Yes, I’m clearing what’s already there! But I’m making slow progress
You’re doing great @damalgos?
Yes, I’m managing. I managed to talk to Gladys, that’s not too much of a big problem, the most complicated thing is taking the time to make a clean, well-functioning service However, I’m having microphone issues on my computer, so it’s a nightmare to develop… And very little time at the moment, a big rush at work + personal life, it’s hard to find time to code.
Did you plan this in your development or is it for later:
- Audio feedback from Gladys on speakers?
– A scene sends a message on the chat to signal a state change, for example the opening of a door, and this message is broadcast on the speakers.
– All conversations that we can have in the chat to have in audio.
The possibilities are numerous.
This feature has 25 votes, I’m surprised only one person is on it ^^
Do you have a repo to track progress?
This could allow another dev to potentially help (like z2m).
Hello,
otherwise there is https://kalliope-project.github.io/ to create a voice assistant, the signals/neurons architecture is well designed.
There are some advances here https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/gladys-4-reconnaissance-vocale
Just to come back to this topic, for your information we now have a Google Home and Alexa integration—doesn’t that do the job for you?
Or is this request mainly for those who don’t want these voice assistants in their homes?
I admit I’m having trouble understanding who this request is aimed at, because:
- Either you’re more of a « grand public » user who wants a turnkey solution, and in that case there’s Google Home/Alexa in 3 clicks
- Or you’re an advanced user, who therefore knows how to launch a Docker container to play with more DIY projects like Rhasppy.
I have the impression that the requests here are looking for the three-legged sheep: mainstream users with a 3-click, local solution, with the same quality as Alexa/Google Home. I may disappoint some, but that doesn’t exist 
I’m disappointed…
No, but I also think it’s kind of the Gladys user’s dream: a turnkey AND local AND that understands everything!
I admit I dream about it too… Not a big deal for me, it’s not a must-have, far from it 
Agreed in
Google and Alexa are great developments for Gladys.
I voted for this integration because I don’t want to tell Google to turn on the light; that’s not how I operate.
On the other hand, I would like Gladys to tell me what’s happening in my home at any given moment.
As I mentioned in my previous message, via a scene or a device state change.
I don’t think that’s possible with Google or Alexa.
It’s certainly the ultimate.
Besides, I know that @pierre-gilles is a pioneer and that he will do what is necessary to evolve Gladys even if it’s not this integration.
Worth looking into, but it might be possible. I know that on the Alexa side they have a notion of a voice alert, like Alexa notifying you of something. However, I believe that’s for specific alerts (not free text, but predefined alerts)
So that part can be looked into!
We may need to separate the two features.
- Having audio playback of messages from the discussion chat
- Being able to have voice conversations with Gladys
I agree, because they’re really two totally different things.
Well, as for the ticket, it’s clearly @Tlse-vins’s second point 
I don’t know where the first one came from 
We can then close the ticket since you can consider that Google and Amazon are enough to trigger Gladys and create a second one to notify via another voice service ^^
I’m rather in favor, because in any case this ticket is far too generic.
It’s like creating a ticket « Being able to control all devices on the market in Gladys », that’s all well and good but it’s not actionable.
I am therefore closing this topic.
To interact with Gladys, two options:
- The Google Home integration: Utiliser Google Home avec Gladys Assistant | Gladys Assistant
- The Alexa integration: Utiliser Alexa avec Gladys Assistant | Gladys Assistant
If someone is interested in a feature to read messages aloud, I invite you to create another feature, this time more specific and with clearer naming.
Good naming example: From a scene, be able to play a message on a Sonos speaker
Bad example: Make Gladys speak
Edit: I should note that I’m not against a Rhasppy service if one ever appears; however, I feel that this very generic and highly voted request doesn’t add anything and blocks votes. I’m convinced that some of the voters thought this request covered Alexa/Google Home.
