Yeah, just use the Beta, it's extremely stable. Don't get it from the Play Store though, as you've seen it hasn't been updated in years. Just get it from their GitHub.

I've tried quite a few after leaving Nova a few years ago and have settled on Lawnchair. It seems to be the most stable and is under active development.

Best alternative for WhatsApp would be Signal

I'd recommend checking out Gadgetbridge. It is an open source app, with no network permission requirements, that replaces the OEM app for a large number of watches. I'm running an Amazfit GTS 4 with it and it has been almost flawless.

The front fell off! That's not very typical.

I'm not wanting to enter the giveaway but just wanted to say what a lovely thing to do for the community.

Happy Holidays everyone

Happy to help

I've added my Docker Compose files in a reply to my original comment which may help make things a little easier for you when you get to setting it up yourself.

I've replied to my own original comment for better visibility if you want to check that.

For those asking, here are my Docker Compose files for Piper (text-to-speech), Whisper (speech-to-text), and OpenWakeWord (allows the use of a wake word with things like the Atom Echo)

Piper

version: '3.3'
services:
  wyoming-piper:
    container_name: wyoming-piper
    image: 'rhasspy/wyoming-piper'
    ports:
      - "10200:10200"
    volumes:
      - '/docker/containers/wyoming-piper/data:/data'
    command: [ "--voice", "en_US-danny-low" ]
    restart: always

Note: The voice can be changed depending on your preference. Listen to the possible options here.

Whisper

version: '3.3'
services:
  wyoming-whisper:
    container_name: wyoming-whisper
    image: 'rhasspy/wyoming-whisper'
    ports:
      - "10300:10300"
    volumes:
      - '/docker/containers/wyoming-whisper/data:/data'
    command: [ "--model", "base", "--language", "en" ]
    restart: always

Note: The model can be changed depending on the power of your system. See possible options here.

OpenWakeWord

version: '3.3'
services:
  wyoming-openwakeword:
    container_name: wyoming-openwakeword
    image: 'rhasspy/wyoming-openwakeword'
    ports:
      - "10400:10400"
    volumes:
      - '/docker/containers/wyoming-openwakeword/data:/data'
      - '/docker/containers/wyoming-openwakeword/custom:/custom'
    command: --preload-model 'ok_nabu' --custom-model-dir /custom
    restart: always

Note: Even though the model for the wake command is set in the Compose file, this can easily be changed in your HA Assist settings.

After they are up and running, you can just manually add the Integrations to HA which will create the Wyoming Protocol Integration. Then go back to your Assist settings and they should be available in the relevant dropdowns.

I hope this helps
