[BETA] HubVoice - A Local Voice Assistant with Optional AI and Music Player

[bptworld]

@Royski give the new zip on Dropbox a try. Much better error handling, it should tell us what's going on.

Copy everything to your HubVoiceSat folder, reflash and run HubVoiceSatSetup.exe

@bptworld

Just tried again, not much more info for you though
The light lights up when I say the wake word, then it just spins and doesn't stop.

@Royski , give me two screenshots just like my examples here...

[Royski]

@bptworld Sure here you go. Odd that it shows unknown, but online.

[bptworld]

On the HubVoice PC, test API port reachability:
PowerShell: Test-NetConnection 192.168.1.96 -Port 6054

Also, show me what this gives you:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/health

[Royski]

Here you go matey

{"ok": true, "status": "online", "queue_depth": 0, "voice_assistant": {}, "scheduler": {"timers": [], "alarms": [], "timer_count": 0, "alarm_count": 0}}

[bptworld]

Please run these commands in PowerShell on the HubVoice PC and send me the output:

1. Current Windows user:
   whoami
2. Runtime health:
   Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing http://127.0.0.1:8080/health | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Content
3. Runtime satellites endpoint:
   Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing http://127.0.0.1:8080/satellites | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Content
4. Satellites file runtime should be using:
   Get-Content "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\HubVoiceSat\satellites.csv"
5. Restart runtime and check health again:
   powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\HubVoice\restart-runtime.ps1" -ShutdownAll
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing http://127.0.0.1:8080/health | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Content

This would be true as its running from c:\HubVoiceSat?

@Royski , thanks for the info! I think I got it now. Try the new zip on Dropbox... hubvoice-sat-2026.04.05.1-release.zip

Thanks

[bptworld]

New version on HPM

Beta-12:

• Added chat-gpt as an AI option

@jrvisconti - Let me know how it goes

[jon.d.tyler]

Could you advise on what the recommended specification is for the always on Windows machine.?
I'd prefer a Ubuntu solution as I already have a headless server up and working for my Chanels DVR.

[bptworld]

Doesn't need much, for specifics I'd have no idea. I use a no name mini-pc off of Amazon for about $300 that also runs my Blue-iris server.

This is the second request for a Linux port. Definitely something to look into I guess.

[Royski]

Hey @bptworld ,

Ok so I updated but now have a different issue, the device is still not getting registered.
As a just in case, I made sure the required ports were opened on my UDM Pro firewall settings, but sadly no change, and there is no device being entered in the satellites.csv

BTW, just to be 100%, I take it this is my PCs IP which go in these fields right? Obs not the Hubitat one though

[bptworld]

First thing that I see in your screenshot... you're not on the latest version.

Should be:

• Download again from Dropbox.
• Unzip into (or copy all files) C:\HubVoiceSat
• Then double click the HubVoiceSatSetup.exe

[Royski]

Thats just a screenshot from above, unrelated.
I am on the right one I was just being lazy with screenshots

One thing I did notice, as I have ChatGPT was there wasn't any settings in the app, after I had updated. So I removed and reinstalled on HE< hence the change in App ID So now I have CGPT - ACE!!

[bptworld]

Click 'open' and show me what you get

[Royski]

{
	"ok": true,
	"service": "HubVoiceSat runtime",
	"port": 8080,
	"queue_depth": 0,
	"last_action": "idle",
	"last_error": "",
	"last_transcript": "",
	"command_mode": "fast",
	"voice_assistant": {},
	"scheduler": {
		"timers": [],
		"alarms": [],
		"timer_count": 0,
		"alarm_count": 0
	}
}

Is there any reason it shows 8080 instead of 6054?

[bptworld]

@Royski , I was able to reproduce it here. I think I finally fixed it.

New build on Dropbox...

hubvoice-sat-2026.04.06.2-release.zip

• Bunch of under the hood changes
• New button, Debug. Launches new page for of data that we can use to debug most issues
• Downloadable json debug file to share
• Lots of Music updates to the FPH sat-1's.

[Royski]

Will give it a go as soon as I can

[jon.d.tyler]

Thanks , I'll keep my fingers crossed for a future Linux port...I don't really want another always on PC running. I'm trying to reduce my hub count
