AS ESPHome yaml for home assistant

[admin]

"Is it possible that in 1 yaml file to program bought gpio15 an gpio 16 leds?" what this means? you can control both LED with GPIO15 and GPIO16, it's OK.

I recently purchased and setup the KinCony Voice Assistant device. Works great, but the volume from the speaker is too low to hear. How can I increase the volume from the speaker?

[admin]

if you use ESPHome, you can set the volume in yaml file.

[datkinson]

if you use ESPHome, you can set the volume in yaml file.

Could you give me an example? I've searched online, but don't see any examples of increasing the volume in the yaml file.

May help someone, it took me 3 days to make it working

[admin]

Thank you very much share your config file to help people.

[PeteAklNZ]

see here in details: https://esphome.io/components/speaker/index.html

So I have this file:
/homeassistant/esphome/kincony-as.yaml
and I've modified the speaker section to:
speaker:
    platform: i2s_audio
    id: va_speaker
    i2s_audio_id: i2s_speaker
    volume: 90%
    dac_type: external
    i2s_dout_pin: GPIO8  #  DIN Pin of the MAX98357A Audio Amplifier
    channel: mono
Then did a quick reload of the YAML, then restarted Home Assistant, but no change in volume.
Is there something else I need to do please?

[PeteAklNZ]

Think my previous reply was not following the example, so also tried this:
speaker.volume_set: 90%
and this:
speaker.volume_set:
    id: va_speaker
    volume: 90%

Still no change

sure, you can control GPIO15 and GPIO16 different LEDs. see this demo video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/59CFvpFJMdc
