Issue with setting up service

Hi all,

I've gone through this guide and am able to manually run the script and send voice commands successfully. However, as soon as I close the command line this is over - plus, if the Pi ever gets powered down I'd have to start the script again.

So I tried setting it up as a service, as described here. Unfortunately, after opening the log I keep seeing this error:

I followed the guide to the dot (at least I think so) and my file looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=Home Assistant Satellite
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/pascal/homeassistant-satellite/script/run --host REDACTED-IP --token REDACTED-Token --awake-sound sounds/awake.wav --done-sound sounds/done.wav
WorkingDirectory=/home/pascal/homeassistant-satellite
Restart=always
RestartSec=1

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

I have also noticed that when saving the file, it adds a number at the end of homeassistant-satellite.service, but I'm assuming that's normal due to read/write issues?

I ran into an issue getting this up and running. I see the same error in your logs:

Nov 23 11:26:57 raspberrypi run[3332]: ALSA lib pcm_asym.c:105:(_snd_pcm_asym_open) capture slave is not defined
Nov 23 11:26:57 raspberrypi run[3332]: arecord: main:831: audio open error: Invalid argument
Nov 23 11:26:57 raspberrypi run[3330]: ERROR:root:Unexpected error in mic_task_entry

I was getting this error when it couldn't use whatever default mic of the system was. I needed to specify the mic input and speaker output manually:

Thanks @cmsimike for sharing your experience - I'll give that a try!
using arecord -L I get the following entry (among others)
image

Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure what exactly I should put into the --mic-device plughw:... command - can you give me some pointers?

Here's my outputs and my run command.

pi@pi005:~ $ arecord -L

    Direct hardware device without any conversions
plughw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0
    bcm2835 Headphones, bcm2835 Headphones
    Hardware device with all software conversions

With the above, I run it like this:
script/run --mic-device plughw:CARD=seeed4micvoicec,DEV=0 --snd-device plughw:CARD=Headphones,DEV=0

I think anything with the plughw prefix should work per the docs:

Run arecord -L to list available input devices. Pick devices that start with plughw: because they will perform software audio conversions. Use --mic-device plughw:... to use a specific input device.

Run aplay -L to list available output devices. Pick devices that start with plughw: because they will perform software audio conversions. Use --snd-device plughw:... to use a specific output device.

I've just tried it and the errors have in fact gotten fewer, but I'm still getting an error after accessing the logs:

But it seems to work despite these errors

issue seems to be fixed by explicitly specifying input and output devices - see comment by @cmsimike

Some other errors remain in the logs, but service seems to work properly and survives a restart.
