Thanks for working on this!

Starting and stopping the wake word was how we used to handle muting on the Voice Preview Edition firmware, but ESPHome microphones now have the microphone.mute and microphone.unmute actions. You could simplify this significantly by just having the template switch call those two actions as needed (while adjusting the LEDs as appropriate) instead of directly messing with the wake words.

That's logical, but seeing as the M5 Stack can't currently compile as mentioned here, I'm reluctant to change this as I can't use it anyway. :-/

Hi, is the compile issue really a problem today? I have 3 m5stacks and all of them being build correctly and are working. I would really appriciate the mute option.
