Assist : Custom_sentences and skip_words configuration

Configuration Voice Assistant
,
1

Hi, :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:
I use the new rhasspy3 satellite service to communicate with assist with my home assistant cloud account.

It work very well but because my speaker output a .wav with a word (“monsieur ?” ( “sir ?” in french)) even with my active noise reduction mic it can sometimes register the word ad add it to the sentence that i say.

So i use the “skip_words” argument to my customs sentences yaml files.

But because i start to have many different files for different type of sentence, if i want to add a word to “skip_word” i must add the word to each files witch is kind of time consuming.

So i’ve tried to create a “skip_words.yaml” file with the words to skip and add the “!include” tag on each file instead.

Unfortunatly i get this error :

skip_words: !include skip_words.yaml

but every time i get this error

Is anyone know if is it possible or if y just mistype something ?

Thanks

I’m not sure I understand your problem correctly, as you should post one or more of the files you’re talking about (eg. questions.yaml). :wink:

In theory you can include different files, even nested. But what you can’t do is include one file more than once aka include xy.yaml in aa.yaml and bb.yaml. Btw. this isn’t necessary.

On the other hand, if my guessing is correct, you might want to do it another way. With your way, you’d overwrite the skip_words set by HA. You should expand them, so the HA skip_words are still included. :slight_smile:

For a start, please post your file(s), and we’ll see, where these get us. :slight_smile:
