stop timer via voice after it finished

[pohly]

I am just starting with Home Assistant voice assistant using the ESP32-S3-BOX. My initial use case is for setting timers in the kitchen. I got voice commands for that working, but then found that when a timer fires, I have to use the button on the device to acknowledge the timer. Voice commands don't work while a timer alarm is playing.

This matches the configuration:

wake-word-voice-assistants/esp32-s3-box/esp32-s3-box.yaml

Lines 237 to 256 in 35f6e76

	on_timer_finished:
	- script.execute: stop_voice_assistant
	- lambda: id(voice_assistant_phase) = ${voice_assist_timer_finished_phase_id};
	- switch.turn_on: timer_ringing
	- script.execute: draw_display
	- wait_until:
	not:
	microphone.is_capturing:
	- while:
	condition:
	switch.is_on: timer_ringing
	then:
	- lambda: id(box_speaker).play(id(timer_finished_wave_file), sizeof(id(timer_finished_wave_file)));
	- delay: 1s
	- wait_until:
	not:
	speaker.is_playing:
	- switch.turn_off: timer_ringing
	- script.execute: start_voice_assistant
	- script.execute: draw_display

Can this be changed so that the voice assistant remains active while playing the alarm? I intend to place the device in the kitchen where it is out of the way and thus hard to reach. Besides, the main purpose of voice assistant is to have the hands free for other tasks... 😅

I can imagine that it had to be done this way because the microphones aren't working well enough while playing sound. Is that the reason for the current behavior?

Is this perhaps better with the "Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition"?
