A person from the community reached out recently asking if it is possible to add Sendspin configuration for voice-assist config. Esparagus Echo, or any other ESP32-S3 board that supports voice-assist.
After some poking, it turned out that it is possible, and two experimental features work surprisingly well together. Wake-word detection works, TTS works, and audio ducking works.
The only thing I could not make work as it should is the DAC on/off events. On the Sendspin-only config, they are hooked up to play/announcement events. With the voice-assist config adding its own layer of events, it is not working well, so I just commented it out for the time being, leaving the DAC switch in ALWAYS_ON mode.
The configs are available for testing. Feel free to share your feedback:
