    We do some pre-processing that's CPU-intensive (natural language parsing), and this set-up allows us to combine multiple STT servers, and switch them whenever we need to without pushing an update! :)

  • RobinVanKekemRobinVanKekem Member

    True. Good thinking.

    So speech recognition won't work without a my athom account?
    Or you have to set it up yourself?

  • EmileEmile Administrator, Athom

    Well, for now it does, but I can't guarantee it will in the future.

  • OGSOGS Member

    Why would you change that?
    If your server goes down then all the homeys lose their speech option.
    As this the name of the topic, also your internet can go down as it did in Eindhoven.

    Our servers probably have a better uptime than a domestic home ;)

    I hope so but still it would be nice to keep it in the homey itself.

    I'm simply assuming that their servers are hosted by a hosting provider which will have the option to have two feeds for power and internet.
    Also, these feeds could be protected by a large generator in case of the two separately routed power feeds go down.
    I don't think power and/or internet are the biggest concern, human error is more likely (like the patch loop created lately:h ttp://tweakers.net/nieuws/103067/internetknooppunt-ams-ix-kampt-met-uitval-update-2.html )

    Mute reasoning: this means Homey is down when my own Internet is down OR your servers are not up/connected. So the choice INCREASES downtime. ;-)

    I was refering to the article ;) When your internet is down, our choice does not matter. When our server is down, it will be re-routed to another one. If one of our STT providers is down, we have fallbacks ;)
