Hi everyone! ![]()
I’d like to share Assist Entity Manager, a new custom integration for Home Assistant.
I built it because managing which entities are exposed to Home Assistant Assist, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant can become pretty cumbersome once a Home Assistant installation grows.
The goal is to provide one central and easy-to-use interface for managing voice assistant exposure, aliases and common naming problems.
Features
- Manage entity exposure for Home Assistant Assist
- Manage Amazon Alexa exposure when available
- Manage Google Assistant exposure when available
- Edit entity aliases directly
- Detect duplicate or conflicting spoken names
- Detect potentially ambiguous entity names
- Detect entities that are probably unnecessary for voice control
- Group entities by device
- Filter or exclude integrations
- Detect exposure changes made outside Assist Entity Manager
- Ignore intentional conflicts per entity
- JSON backup and restore
- Backup schema migration support for future versions
- Automatic Assist Manager sidebar panel
- Optional Lovelace card using
custom:assist-entity-manager
Languages
The interface follows the Home Assistant user language:
- German Home Assistant → German
- All other Home Assistant languages → English fallback
Installation
Assist Entity Manager can already be installed through HACS as a custom repository.
GitHub:
In HACS:
- Open Custom repositories
- Add:
https://github.com/BremerLabs/assist-entity-manager - Select Integration
- Install Assist Entity Manager
- Restart Home Assistant
- Go to Settings → Devices & services → Add integration
- Add Assist Entity Manager
The Assist Manager panel will then automatically appear in the Home Assistant sidebar.
Validation
The project currently passes:
- HACS validation
- Home Assistant Hassfest validation
It has also been submitted for inclusion in the default HACS repository and is currently waiting for review.
Current release
v1.0.1
This is the first public release, so feedback is very welcome — especially from users with larger Home Assistant installations or multiple voice assistants.
If you find a bug or have an idea that would make managing voice assistant entities easier, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.
I’d also be interested to hear how you currently manage Assist/Alexa/Google exposure in larger Home Assistant setups. ![]()
