Can I run STT and TTS on a different computer? (feddit.org)

Hey there!

I just ordered the Voice PE to play around with, and I was wondering if it's possible to run the processing of Speech on a different device. I have a HA Green that runs my instance and I'm guessing the processing power is a bit low. However, I also have a small homelab server running that has a lot more power (Ryzen 5 2600) and it would be great if I could just forward all the speech processing to that server.

If it's possible, is there a guide for it out there? Didn't really find something unfortunately...

Thanks a lot!

You can split it in a variety of ways, but I think the Green will be fine if you're using Whisper and Piper.

If you want to run something with an OpenAI compatible API on another machine, that will work as well, and I believe they are expanding other API interfaces. Basically, if you have something capable of responding in the way HA wants for it's intents, you can do that. Your network roundtrip may not make it faster to respond though.
