Setting up Echo Spot for VACA
Hello! I have finally gotten my jailbroken Echo Spot set up comfortably with View Assist Companion App and I would like to share my configuration if anyone wants to replicate my result!
- Zoom level: 1.0
- Wake word threshold: 5.0
- Wake word: Alexa
- Wake word sound: Alexa
- Wake word engine: OpenWakeWord(onnx)
For the device itself, I downloaded the companion app from the GitHub and I logged in with a special account for the device. For this account, I set the default dashboard to be hidden and added an analog clock with the following configuration:
kiosk_mode:
hide_header: true
views:
- type: panel
path: ''
cards:
- type: clock
clock_style: analog
clock_size: large
show_seconds: true
no_background: true
border: false
ticks: hour
face_style: markers
seconds_motion: continuous
time_zone: America/New_York
date_format:
- weekday-short
- day-numeric
grid_options:
columns: 12
rows: 4
icon: mdi:circle-double
To edit the dashboard later, use "?disable_km" in the url. The only downside I have with this device is that when I press the power button (previously the mute button), the screen can mildly flicker sometimes. That is solved with a restart, but important to look out for. So far i'm liking it, but does anyone have an easy way to change the clock hand and text colors?
