- STT/TTS move to a shared Speaches container (OpenAI-format, GPU, port 8601 proposed); gateway becomes a thin orchestrator with pluggable speech backends (speaches default, embedded fallback) - Record the on-device ceiling: WakeNet wake word, VAD, ES7210 AEC, optional MultiNet fixed commands; open-vocabulary STT permanently out - Record the real latency bottleneck (Tatlock ~2 min full local flow): gateway must stream chat tokens and synthesize sentence-by-sentence - Plan reply_delta + barge-in protocol additions Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

||
## What this project is
|
||
|
||
DeskLock is the living-room visual/audio endpoint for **Tatlock**, the homelab butler
|
||
(`/mnt/media/Projects/tatlock`, API at `http://tatlock.schweitz.internal:8000`). Two halves,
|
||
one repo:
|
||
|
||
- `firmware/` — ESP-IDF (C, LVGL 9) app for the Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-3.4C
|
||
(3.4" round 800×800 touch display, dual mics + ES7210 AEC, ES8311 codec + speaker).
|
||
- `gateway/` — Python FastAPI container on tower-of-joy orchestrating STT → chat
|
||
(Tatlock `/v1/chat/completions`) → TTS. Listens on port **8600**. STT/TTS models live
|
||
in a shared **Speaches** container (proposed port 8601, OpenAI-format API), not in the
|
||
gateway image; `stt.py`/`tts.py` are pluggable backends (`speaches` default,
|
||
`embedded` fallback for dev). See docs/architecture.md — the scaffold currently
|
||
implements only `embedded`.
|
||
|
||
The device and gateway speak a WebSocket protocol defined in `docs/architecture.md`.
|
||
**That doc is the contract** — update it in the same change as any protocol edit on
|
||
either side.
|
||
|
||
## Hard rules
|
||
|
||
- **Keep the firmware thin.** No STT, no TTS, no conversation logic on the device.
|
||
If a feature needs intelligence, it goes in the gateway or in Tatlock itself.
|
||
- **Never modify Tatlock from this repo.** It is a separate project with its own repo.
|
||
DeskLock consumes its public API only.
|
||
- **Secrets** (Wi-Fi credentials, any future API keys) never go in source. Firmware
|
||
gets them via a gitignored `firmware/secrets.h` (see AGENTS notes below) or NVS;
|
||
the gateway via environment variables (`DESKLOCK_*`).
|
||
|
||
## Firmware (`firmware/`)
|
||
|
||
- Toolchain: **ESP-IDF ≥ 5.4** (not Arduino, not PlatformIO). Target `esp32p4`.
|
||
- BSP: [`waveshare/esp32_p4_wifi6_touch_lcd_xc`](https://components.espressif.com/components/waveshare/esp32_p4_wifi6_touch_lcd_xc)
|
||
from the ESP Component Registry (pulled automatically via `main/idf_component.yml`).
|
||
- Reference implementations: [waveshareteam/ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-XC](https://github.com/waveshareteam/ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-XC)
|
||
`examples/esp-idf/` — notably `08_lvgl_demo_v9` (display), `06_I2SCodec` (audio),
|
||
`04_wifistation` (Wi-Fi via ESP-Hosted). When wiring a new peripheral, check the
|
||
official example first; do not guess pin mappings.
|
||
- ⚠️ **Unverified scaffold**: the BSP API calls in `desklock_main.c` and the
|
||
`sdkconfig.defaults` values were written before the first successful build. Validate
|
||
against the official examples on first bring-up, then delete this warning.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# One-time: install ESP-IDF (not yet installed on tower-of-joy)
|
||
git clone -b v5.5 --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git ~/esp-idf
|
||
~/esp-idf/install.sh esp32p4
|
||
|
||
# Every shell:
|
||
source ~/esp-idf/export.sh
|
||
|
||
# Build / flash / monitor (device is on USB-C; check `ls /dev/ttyACM*`)
|
||
cd firmware
|
||
idf.py set-target esp32p4 # once
|
||
idf.py build
|
||
idf.py -p /dev/ttyACM0 flash monitor # Ctrl+] exits monitor
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Flashing requires the `dialout` group (or run with sudo once and fix the group). If the
|
||
device doesn't enumerate, hold BOOT while pressing RESET to enter download mode.
|
||
|
||
## Gateway (`gateway/`)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd gateway
|
||
make setup # venv + dev deps (no ML models)
|
||
make setup-speech # additionally install faster-whisper + piper
|
||
make run # uvicorn on :8600 with reload
|
||
make test # pytest
|
||
make lint # ruff check + format check
|
||
make typecheck # mypy
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Config via `DESKLOCK_*` env vars — see `src/desklock_gateway/config.py` for the schema
|
||
and defaults.
|
||
- `stt.py` / `tts.py` defer their heavy imports so the app boots without the `speech`
|
||
extra — keep it that way so protocol tests stay fast.
|
||
- Deployment: Docker image built from `gateway/Dockerfile`, deployed like other
|
||
tower-of-joy stacks (see `/mnt/media/Projects/system-admin-toj/containers/`). Register
|
||
the service + port in `CONTAINERS.md` when it first deploys.
|
||
|
||
## Homelab context
|
||
|
||
- This server **is** tower-of-joy; the device, gateway, and Tatlock all share the LAN.
|
||
- Use `tatlock.schweitz.internal:8000` (direct, no SSO) — the public
|
||
`tatlock.schweitz.net` route sits behind Authentik and is not for machine-to-machine
|
||
traffic.
|
||
- Git remote: `git.schweitz.net` (Gitea).
