A wake-word-detection {% term entity %} allows other {% term integrations %} or applications to detect wake words in streaming audio.
The wake-word-detection entities cannot be implemented manually, but can be provided by integrations such as [Wyoming](/integrations/wyoming). The API in [Assist Pipelines](https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/voice/pipelines/) enables wake-word-detection as part of [Assist](/voice_control/).
{% include integrations/building_block_integration.md %}
## The state of a wake word detection entity
The state of a wake word detection {% term entity %} is a timestamp showing the date and time when the wake word was last detected.

In addition, the entity can have the following states:
- **Unavailable**: The entity is currently unavailable.
- **Unknown**: The state is not yet known.
