Advanced Rhasspy Config

The default Rhasspy configuration is designed to work with the default docker based installation. The config most likely needed to be changed are the microphone_device and sounds_device options. However, Home Intent can be setup to work with an external Rhasspy instance.

Setting up the microphone_device and sounds_device is described in the audio config section.

Rhasspy web interface

The Rhasspy web interface can be accessed at http://localhost:12101 by default. It can be useful for debugging to see how things are configured.
