For sound level I would recomend the auto volume skill. It will set the level acording to the suroundings and low, middel and high level can be set on home.mycroft.ai.
@andlo youâre my only hope it seems as every forum post I find about this has you in it or recommend! I got my picroft working tonight with the v1 aiy kit. But after a reboot your auto-volume skill flipped to red and I canât get sound from the box at all, tried reinstalling the skill as well. Any ideas?
Check the logs (in /var/logs/mycroft/skills.log) and see if you can find a related error message.

Hereâs the last chunk of the skills log after I install and try and run it.
Did you follow these steps exactly?
Quick update for people reading this.
Use the new picroft image 2019-07-20 which works flawlessly when doing a fresh install.

I tried Picroft_Buster-Keaton_2020-01-10.img just now. It works straight, no special things to do. Just answer the questions, take the instyalling on AIY v1 option. After getting it up, install the picroft google AIY voicekit skill. That is it! So glad this is working smoothly now. I frankly gave up after days of reading and configurations getting it to work, and then having it fail again after an update three weeks later. I decided to leave it alone for awhile - now 14 months later - it is working well.
Thanks everyone.

I also played around for a while with an earlier Picroft image. Voice didnât work however, so I left it alone for a while. Yesterday I installed the latest Picroft image, looks like almost anything works. All but the button and led. I wonder should I make a fresh install or does anyone have a clue of how to make the button work.
thanx,
Wouter

If you install the picroft-google-aiy-voicekit-skill then button and led will be used and work.
The skill is in the market.
