LineageOS for the Echo Dot (2nd Gen), Kiosk Satellite Edition 2026.11.3
This release brings back Amazon's wake word engine for those who install its files themselves. The image still includes none of Amazon's libraries or models, and I won't provide them or give instructions on how to get them. The new pryond support requires Kiosk Satellite 2026.11.14 or newer.
Changes
- Amazon's wake word engine works again with files you install. If you put Pryon's libraries and models in
/data/pryonyourself, pryond, a new service, runs them for Kiosk Satellite and reports whether the engine is available and which locales and models it found. Kiosk Satellite 2026.11.14 or newer then offers Amazon as a wake word engine again, with the wake words and locales you installed.adb shell pryond statusprints what pryond found. Some models load a library from/system/lib, so the image links that path to/data/pryon/lib. See Amazon's wake word engine. - "Stop" works without the wake word. Amazon's models count "stop" only right after the wake word. pryond loads each model from its own copy of the keyword files in
/data/pryond, where "stop" counts on its own and ends a ringing timer or a reply, as it did before 2026.11.2. Your files in/data/pryonstay as they are.
Updating
Install it from the Dot's Firmware entity in Home Assistant or from Kiosk Satellite's remote admin. BiscuitService installs it into both slots and restarts the Dot twice. Kiosk Satellite and its settings stay. Keep the Dot on its own power adapter, not a USB hub, or TWRP may not start. If your Dot cannot get online yet, install this release by hand from TWRP with the steps in the Echo Dot guide, leaving out twrp wipe data.
Requirements
The Dot needs amonet v2.0.0 or v2.0.1 with TWRP 3.7.0_9-0. See Unlocking.
Kiosk Satellite needs to be 2026.11.1 or newer. Its echo canceller is built for the raw microphone the image gives it since 2026.10.18, so update Kiosk Satellite on the Dot too. The new pryond support requires Kiosk Satellite 2026.11.14 or newer, the first version that offers Amazon's wake word engine through pryond.
