💙 Blueprints for Voice Commands (Weather, Calendar, Music Assistant)

Possibly a lame question, but how/where can I see which version of the Weather Forecast Blueprint I currently have installed?
I can see on GitHUB that the latest is 2025318, but which version do I have?

I’ve found that if you use Google Generative AI (Gemini) instead of ChatGPT, it doesn’t pronounce the *'s. However, it does spell out km/h instead of saying Kilometers per hour. I’d love to get that corrected.

Put an addition near the top of your prompt reminding the LLM that
You are servicing a voice interface and should NOT use markdown under any circumstances it produces confusing output when read aloud.

It’s not perfect but it calms it down a lot. The problem is the llm is generating markdown text elements and your TTS isn’t filtering them (it’s a known with the default piper)

Hey, overall I’m loving the large LLM weather blueprint. I’m using OpenWeather Map as the source data and Google Generative AI for the LLM side.

It works fairly well, but it persists in spelling out KM/H instead of speaking “kilometres per hour”. I’ve tried adding “pronounce km/h as kilometres per hour” to the default four time prompts, but the output is unchanged.

Also, if one uses ChatGPT, there are many colons and asterisks that get pronounced. I’ve not found a way to stop that when using Chat GPT.

How does one edit the base prompt that the script sends to the LLM?

I’m experienced with HA, but quite new to this LLM stuff as I just built a few Wyoming Satellites a few days ago.

Also, many thanks for all you do!!

You have multiple things. Spelling kmh is different than markdown. We can clamp markdown with one statement because it’s all part of one construct.

The default prompt is the one inside settings on the configure button under the integration. My markdown clamp os literally the third thing listed.

Alternately you can use a different TTS enginenthat filters it

The km/h would require a different tack and won’t be universal to LLMs. You could try don’t abbreviate (as a generalization) in the prompt but it’s probably too broad.

That said both are technically out of the scope of Fez’ blueprints. So if you want to chase it down you’ll want to open a separate thread.

Makes sense… I’ve updated the description to contain “Pronounce km/h as kilometres per hour.” and that fixes it nicely. Rather than fight with markdown, I’ll use the Goggle Generative AI as it understands that markdown should not be pronounced.

Greatly appreciated!
