XIAOZHI-ESPHOME

Use your Xiaozhi AI devices in ESPHome as voice assistant satellites for Home Assistant.

By request, this GitHub project provides a simple way to use Xiaozhi-based devices with ESPHome. These compact devices can serve as voice assistants integrated with Home Assistant.

1. Connect your device to your computer via USB. Open ESPHome Web, click “+ NEW DEVICE”, and follow the prompts to set it up and connect it to Wi-Fi.
2. In ESPHome Builder, take over the newly discovered device, edit the configuration, paste in the code for your device but keep the original device name. (You can customize the friendly_name as desired.)
3. Save and install the configuration wirelessly. Wait for it to reboot and begin running your code.
4. Once it’s online, go to Home Assistant > Devices, and accept the new device. This will start the voice assistant setup process.

Note for Step 3: If wireless installation fails and you're prompted to use USB flashing:

• Reconnect the device to your computer if needed.
• Save and install again, choose “Plug into this computer,” wait for the firmware to compile, download, and use ESPHome Web to install it via USB. This only happens the first time, when the partition table needs to be updated. Future updates can be done wirelessly.
