Speakers

Section titled “Speakers”

Following on from last months release adding microphones, this release adds speaker support!

These new changes allows the Voice Assistant to request the raw audio stream response from Home Assistant to playback without using a full Media Player. This has much lower latency and allows for a much more responsive voice assistant experience.

More Microphones

Section titled “More Microphones”

This release also adds a bit more configuration for the i2s_audio microphone components. There is a breaking-change that requires new configuration fields to be added in YAML. See the microphone documentation for the configuration details, but below is a small example for the M5Stack Atom Echo.
