Did you know you can easily integrate an external Smart Speaker with your voice assistant using ESPHome? In this video, we'll show you how to use ESPHome to connect your M5Stack Atom Echo or ESP32 S3 Box to your Home Assistant setup. Enhance your voice assistant experience with a better sound quality today!
NOTE:
Changing the i2s_dout_pin: GPIO22 to i2s_dout_pin: GPIO21 in the speaker: section stops the Atom Echo internal speaker from playing as well. Thanks @revilo819!
