New EchoKit Update: Button Interrupt and Volume Control Are Here!

· 2 min read

We’ve just released new versions of EchoKit Server (0.1.2) and EchoKit Firmware, bringing you more natural voice interactions than before.

Button Interrupt​

You can now interrupt EchoKit’s speech with a simple K0 button press, which are located on the left side of the EchoKit device

This makes your voice assistant feel more responsive — no need to wait until it finishes talking. Just press the button and start speaking right away!

Adjustable Volume​

Need to make EchoKit quieter? The speaker used to be so loud we couldn’t even test it at night!

You can now adjust the speaker volume directly on the device, giving you full control of your experience.

The volume buttons are located on the right side of the device:

  • The top button increases the volume.
  • The bottom button lowers the volume.

This makes it easy to get the perfect sound level, anytime.

🚀 How to Update​

  1. Download the latest version of Firmware from our ESP32 LaunchPad.
  2. Download the latest version of the server from EchoKit GitHub release page and rerun it.
  3. Flash the firmware to your device.
  4. Reconnect the server and device.
    • If you’re using the pre-set server provided by the EchoKit team, there’s nothing extra you need to do — the official server has already been updated to the latest version.
  5. You’re ready to go — enjoy your new interactive voice experience!
