BamBamF16 Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 I'm not sure if this is true, but I can't add any Kasa device to alexa. Suggested on UD forums to ask to make sure hints are set correctly. For the H105 plug it probably should be category of 0x04 and a subcategory of 0x02, I think. Also added to Github. Thanks, Jeff
Jimbo.Automates Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Sure, I can look into that sometime, but doesn't Kasa have an Alexa method already? Why use it through the ISY?Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk 1

The alexa integration is cloud based and it seems the NS is local, no? Jeff

However, with Alexa being cloud based, the Alexa connection would still be cloud based. I think it's smart on your part to have 1 integration though. Edited March 10, 2022 by lilyoyo1
BamBamF16 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 @lilyoyo1 True, but baby steps for now. There are some local only voice activations I am looking into.

There are no local voice activations unless you're designing your own. Both Alexa and Google integration goes through the portal which is cloud based which then talks to Google or Amazon which is also cloud based. You can test this by turning off your internet. Without an outside connection, you spoken commands will not work 1
BamBamF16 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 @lilyoyo1There are local voice activations currently in development (almond/Ada). They will be integrated with HA.

The hard part is accurate voice recognition, speaker, and wake word. Google is, in my opinion, the best out of all I've tested. I built a project over 5 years ago which uses the downloaded voice models on android. So it would work on intranet without access to internet. I still use it for most of my voice actions as it is quicker than the Google Home and has chaining commands. 2
