<p>The <a href="https://www.snips.ai">Snips Voice Platform</a> allows users to add powerful voice assistants to their Raspberry Pi devices without compromising on Privacy. It runs 100% on-device, and does not require an Internet connection. It features Hotword Detection, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Dialog Management.</p>
<p><img src="/images/screenshots/snips_modules.png" alt="Snips Modules" /></p>
<p>Snips takes voice or text as input, and produces <em>intents</em> as output, which are explicit representations of an intention behind an utterance, and which can subsequently be used by Home Assistant to perform appropriate actions.</p>

<h2><a class="title-link" name="the-snips-voice-platform" href="#the-snips-voice-platform"></a> The Snips Voice Platform</h2>
<h3>Installation</h3>
<p>The Snips Voice Platform is installed on Raspberry Pi with the following command:</p>
<div class="language-sh highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="o">(</span>pi<span class="o">)</span> <span class="nv">$ </span>curl https://install.snips.ai -sSf | sh
</code></pre>
</div>
<h3>Creating an assistant</h3>
<div class="videoWrapper">
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/223255884" width="700" height="380" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen="" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
</div>
<p>Snips assistants are created via the <a href="https://console.snips.ai">Snips Console</a>. Once trained, the assistant should be downloaded and copied to the Raspberry Pi:</p>
<div class="language-sh highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>scp assistantproj_XXX.zip pi@pi_hostname:/home/pi/assistant.zip
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>and installed locally via the <code class="highlighter-rouge">snips-install-assistant</code> helper script:</p>
<div class="language-sh highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="o">(</span>pi<span class="o">)</span> <span class="nv">$ </span>sudo snips-install-assistant assistant.zip
</code></pre>
</div>
<h3>Running Snips</h3>
<p>Make sure that a microphone is plugged to the Raspberry Pi. If you are having trouble setting up audio, we have written a guide on <a href="https://github.com/snipsco/snips-platform-documentation/wiki/1.-Setup-the-Snips-Voice-Platform-on-your-Raspberry-Pi#configuring-the-audio">Raspberry Pi Audio Configuration</a>.</p>
<p>Start the Snips Voice Platform using the <code class="highlighter-rouge">snips</code> command:</p>
<div class="language-sh highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="o">(</span>pi<span class="o">)</span> <span class="nv">$ </span>snips
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>Snips is now ready to take voice commands from the microphone. To trigger the listening, simply say</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Hey Snips</p>
</blockquote>
<p>followed by a command, e.g.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Set the lights to green in the living room</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We should see the transcribed phrase in the logs, as well as a properly parsed intent. The intent is published on MQTT, on the <code class="highlighter-rouge">hermes/nlu/intentParsed</code> topic. The Snips Home Assistant component subscribes to this topic, and handles the intent according to the rules defined in <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>, as explained below.</p>
<h4>Optional: specifying an external MQTT broker</h4>
<p>By default, Snips runs its own MQTT broker. But we can also tell Snips to use an external broker by specifying this when launching Snips. In this case, instead of running the <code class="highlighter-rouge">snips</code> command above (which assumes we are using the internal MQTT broker), we use the full launch command with explicitly specified parameters (replace <code class="highlighter-rouge">MQTT_BROKER_IP</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">MQTT_BROKER_PORT</code> with appropriate values):</p>
<div class="language-sh highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="gp">$ </span>docker run -t --rm --name snips --log-driver none -v /home/pi/.asoundrc:/root/.asoundrc -v /opt/snips/config:/opt/snips/config --privileged -v /dev/snd:/dev/snd snipsdocker/platform --mqtt MQTT_BROKER_IP:MQTT_BROKER_PORT
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>For more details on launch options, check the documentation on <a href="https://github.com/snipsco/snips-platform-documentation/wiki/6.--Learn-more:-Platform-Commands#using-a-custom-mqtt-bus">Snips Platform Commands</a>.</p>
<h2>Home Assistant configuration</h2>
<h3>Specifying the MQTT broker</h3>
<p>Messages between Snips and Home Assistant are passed via MQTT. We must tell Home Assistant which MQTT broker to use by adding the following entry to <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">mqtt</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">broker</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">MQTT_BROKER_IP</span>
<span class="s">port</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">MQTT_BROKER_PORT</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>As explained above, Snips by default runs an MQTT broker on port 9898. So if we wish to use this broker, the entry will look as follows:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">mqtt</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">broker</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">127.0.0.1</span>
<span class="s">port</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">9898</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<h3>Triggering actions</h3>
<p>In Home Assistant, we trigger actions based on intents produced by Snips. This is done in <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>. For instance, the following block handles <code class="highlighter-rouge">ActivateLightColors</code> intents (included in the Snips IoT intent bundle) to change light colors:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="s">snips</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">intents</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">ActivateLightColor</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">action</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">service</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">light.turn_on</span>
<span class="s">data_template</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">entity_id</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">light.{{ objectLocation | replace(" ","_") }}</span>
<span class="s">color_name</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="pi">{{</span> <span class="nv">objectColor</span> <span class="pi">}}</span>
</code></pre>
