Speech recognition
I'm struggling a lot with the speech recognition. I use the Dutch language and tried different distances. After saying something I check on the ####/manager/speech-input/ page what Homey has understand. Closer improves it a bit, but a lot of times what I say is not understand at all, or only partly. The goal is of course that Homey can understand most of the things I say from a few m distance.
From what I say only 1 in 4 times it is understand correctly at a few meters.
Who has good results with it, and how did you set it up? Do you make a sentence like" "Ok Homey put on the lights" (In my case "OK Homey zet de lichten aan"), or do you wait after the "Ok Homey".
What works well?
Does English works better than Dutch?
And if Homey understand what you say, how does your flow looks like?

het is mij opgevallen dat bij versie 0.9.1 homey mij uitstekend verstond.
9 van 10 was goed. bij 0.9.2 was dit effect weer weg.
ik heb hier geen verklaring voor, en lees hier op het forum ook niks over terug.
ik kan mezelf natuurlijk iets wijsmaken, maar dat denk ik niet.
vraag is voor mij nu.... wat zou ik wel of niet geinstalleerd hebben wat hierop van invloed zou kunnen zijn.
ik heb geen zwave.
is er nog iemand met deze ervaring?? of was ik echt de enige?
feel free to tranlate (i am at work late)
I say "Ok Homey" and then wait till i see he is in listening mode, ring shows he is.
No special setup beside i mute my sonos with a flow. You dont want background noise so no radio or tv sound on.
'the earlier software versions had a voice learning tool, but this is gone now, so i don't know how to test or improve the voice recognition.
I also bought a foam and placed it arround Homey to test if the sound/my room has to much echo. But no improvement with that.
My room has a wooden floor and concrete sealing, i think home doesn't like that kind of echo-rooms.
If anyone has suggestions, please let us know.
I can get it to react to 'OK Homey' from 5 meters away, but speech is never recognized then.
Homey is standing on top of a cabinet in my living room. To be usefull it should work when you sit on the couch, or near the door when you enter the room. Both are about 4 m away.
I will try changing the language to English and see what difference it makes.
I use the english language and i have the same poblem, the speech recognition is not perfect. The problem is i think the distance. When i speak nearly 1meter is no problem but when i speak 4-5 meters, homey dont understand me. But i hope athom know this problem and works on there.
When I'm very close (the 50cm) and I talk to it, you see the orange ring fluctuate with the volume of my voice.
When I'm further away, it doesn't change so I'm thinking it just doesn't hear me loud enough.
My Homey never reacts to that over here.
Or maybe a higher voice works for u.
