Assist skip word

Something strange is happening with the word “grazie” (thank you in italian)
I created an instant

GrazieDati:
  data:
    sentences:
      - "{grazie}"

I added the following to the lists:

grazie:
  values:
    - in: grazie
    - in: ringrazio

I deleted the word grazie from the skip_words in _common.yaml
I created the following in intent_script.yaml:

GrazieDati:
  speech:
    text: "You're welcome."

Now if I say the word grazie, or type it in assist, the response is always “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand.” If I say the word ringrazio, the response is relevant.
I tried both renaming the lists and renaming the instant.
I think the word grazie is skipped somewhere, but I don’t know where.
Again, this isn’t relevant to HA usage, but I’m just curious about this strange behavior.
Thanks for any replies and sorry for my bad english

HA >> dev tools >> assist

Type in grazie and see how it will be handled. This will verify if it is problem with speech-to-text identifying word or if grazie is being handled incorrectly

I wrote in my post that I had deleted “grazie” from the skip_words


I deleted the word **grazie** from the skip_words in _common.yaml
I created the following in intent_script.yaml:

You can add, but not delete. Discuss changing the word list in the repository

By default, the word “grazie” is already in the skip_words, but it still didn’t work.
If I’m not mistaken, skip_words are ignored in sentences triggers.

These words are cut out from the text received by the system from the STT. The remaining results are then compared with built-in commands and user voice automations from yaml (custom sentences, just your case) and gui (standard automation, but in this case, there will never be matches, since the matching rules work differently.).

If no matches are found, but you’re using an LLM, your original phrase will be passed to it.

I understand, but the word is cut off even if I use assist in the developer tools. While the other word inserted in the lists works, in my case the word “ringrazio” as you can see in the first post. I’ll post the replies received in assist.

ringrazio

✅
Lingua: italiano (it)
intent:
  name: GrazieDati

  grazie: ringrazio

  grazie:
    name: grazie
    value: ringrazio
    text: ringrazio
targets: {}
match: true

unmatched_slots: {}
fuzzy_match: false

grazie

This is correct processing

You entered “grazie” (this is almost identical to getting text from the stt component)
The system cleaned the input from skip_word
It tried to find matches for the empty string "", but found nothing

Thanks, I’ll try again. Do you know if there’s an intent for buttons? I need to control a TV using a remote control I built myself. If I use an action to control the buttons with the service button.press, it works, but I can’t find an intent that can do it with assist. Thanks.

Write your own that implements button.press.
