Anyone using Home Assistant AI agent?

This thing is so damn awesome but there is a HUGE problem. The speech to text listener, at least on the iOS app is completely useless unless you’re in a quiet room by yourself. It’s not that most attached STT models can’t easily cancel background noise but the app itself just keeps listening and listening until things are dead silent. That’s never the case around me. Completely useless. Still the agent is so good it’s worth typing.

What did you use to get started with it? I saw your other HA post a few hours ago and am curious.

Qwen3-30b locally but you could probably get with something smaller. Openrouter has a bunch of free or super low cost options.
Used extended OpenAI integration for LLM api and Wyoming for TTS and STT.
Setup is pretty easy but function has to be pretty much perfect and prompt should explain what you want it to do.just use chat.qwen.ai for that. It fixed everything for me when Gemini couldn’t.
Apparently if you use an esp32 device for STT there are options for speech cut off sensitivity, but not if you’re using the iOS app. They just need to go to a button or something if they can’t get it right.

Will have to look into. Just starting in my HA journey. Used Claude code to turn my bricked Surface Pro into an Ubuntu server.

Been drinking beer tonight but also trying to move home assistant bot to openrouter for better speed. I must have lucked out my first guess because all of these way more powerful models are absolutely shite at following directions and calling tools. The OAI GPT models are literally 0%. Bigger Apache2/MIT models are maybe 60% while the old trusty qwen3-30b-instruct(even at q4) gets the call right basically 100% of the time. Still going to try Qwen3.5-35b but this is ridiculous.
