Alarm clock automation: intent and intent_script

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

Hi everybody, I made an automation that set an alarm. it works with 2 imput number and works well.

alias: Sveglia con input_number
description: Automazione per sveglia basata su input_number
triggers:
  - value_template: |
      {{ now().hour == states('input_number.sveglia_ora') | int and
         now().minute == states('input_number.sveglia_minuti') | int }}
    trigger: template
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: assist_satellite.announce
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: SVEGLIA ATTIVATA è ORA DI SVEGLIARSI
    target:
      entity_id: assist_satellite.home_assistant_voice_0925d6_assist_satellite
mode: single

Now I want to set an intent and an intent_script to modify input_number.sveglia_ora and input_number.sveglia_minuti and toggle the automation, but i cannot figure out where is my mistake and if it is possible to do

Intent:

  ImpostaSveglia:
    data:
      - sentences:
          - "Imposta una sveglia alle {ore} e {minuti}"
          - "Metti una sveglia per le {ore}:{minuti}"
          - "Sveglia per le {ore} e {minuti}"
        slots:
          ore:
            type: number
          minuti:
            type: number

Intent_script:

  ImpostaSveglia:
    description: "Imposta una sveglia per l'orario specificato."
    action:
      - service: input_number.set_value
        target:
          entity_id: input_number.sveglia_ora
        data:
          value: "{{ trigger.variables.ore | int }}"
      - service: input_number.set_value
        target:
          entity_id: input_number.sveglia_minuti
        data:
          value: "{{ trigger.variables.minuti | int }}"
      - service: automation.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: automation.sveglia_con_input_number
    speech:
      text: "Sveglia impostata per le {{ trigger.variables.ore }} e {{ trigger.variables.minuti }}."

Your trigger could be made simpler with an input date time with time only.
That way you can trigger with a time trigger

Thanks, the idea looks better. But Assist still not recognize the intent. I think I’m doing something wrong making the custom sentence or the intent script. The automation works good so I think there are some error on mapping the request

I m sorry I’m new in home assistant and I’m discovering lot of stuff every days

Calling variables is a little different
{{ trigger.slot.ore }} - in gui automation
{{ ore }} in intent_scripts

You must also define variables. see the example in the documentation
and remove slots block, it doesn’t seem right.

Thanks i read the documentation, now is better but i still have problems.

this is my custom intent i used

language: "it"
intents:
  ImpostaSveglia:
    data:
      - sentences:
          - "Imposta una sveglia alle {ore} e {minuti}"
          - "Metti una sveglia per le {ore}:{minuti}"
          - "Programma una sveglia alle {ore} e {minuti}"
          - "Metti la sveglia per le {ore} e {minuti}"
          - "Svegliami alle {ore}:{minuti}"
          - "Svegliami alle {ore} e {minuti}"

lists:
  ore:
    range:
      type: "number"
      from: 0
      to: 23
  minuti:
    range:
      type: "number"
      from: 0
      to: 59

this is my intent_script

intent_script:
  ImpostaSveglia:
    action:
      - service: input_datetime.set_datetime
        target:
          entity_id: input_datetime.sveglia
        data:
          time: >
            {% set ore = (intent.get("ore", 7) | int) %}
            {% set minuti = (intent.get("minuti", 0) | int) %}
            {{ '{:02d}:{:02d}'.format(ore, minuti) }}
      - service: automation.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id: automation.sveglia_con_input_datetime
    speech:
      text: >
        Sveglia impostata per le {{ intent.get("ore", 7) }}:{{ '{:02d}'.format(intent.get("minuti", 0) | int) }}.

and i have this error in log when i try to give the command to assist

the problem is that i cannot let the sistem use the variables Hour and minutes and give to intent script

you don’t need to use the type option

lists:
  ore:
    range:
      from: 0
      to: 23

Тhis construction raises many questions, check it in devtools-template (insert numeric values instead of variables).

{{ intent.get("ore", 7) }}:{{ '{:02d}'.format(intent.get("minuti", 0) | int) }}

And don’t use quotes for variables in the response
