My device doesn't pick up the wake word or picks up too many false positives

Try adjusting the wake word threshold. It is default set to 6 but play around with it until it works the best. The lower the setting the more it will detect but becomes more suseptable to fale positives. The higher it is, the more likley background noise will stop it detecting. Also see diagnostics overlay section.
