I have some of the ATOM Echos that HA describes here. They work for voice recognition but the speaker in these tiny boxes is...tiny. It's barely audible when standing right next to the box, and completely inaudible when standing 10 feet away or if there is noise in the room.
Examples of the voice responses I'm talking about are "I'm sorry but I don't understand that" or "The current time is 2:15pm" or "I turned on the lights in the living room."
Is it possible to re-route the voice responses to a different media player? Currently, I have a Google Home Mini in each room that I have an ATOM Echo in. It would be nice if I could somehow determine which ECHO received the voice command, which area that Echo was in (e.g., "living room"), and then re-route the voice response to a media player in that area.
But I have no idea how to do this.
This sounds cool, but beyond my skill set. I might be able to re-qire the speaker wire to something else (possibly not if soldering is required), but I don't even understand what a "shutdown pin" is or what it does.
The amplifier has 7 connections. Input+ Input- Shutdown Power Ground Speaker out+ Speaker out-
You'll have to cut or solder the wires to the original speaker, then solder wires or pins to the amplifier,
It's not extremely difficult, but daunting if you've not done it before.
If you want to try, and need a lifeline feel free to DM me
