Conversation integration not working

Slixx · May 23, 2023, 1:22pm

Hi all,

Not sure this is properly tagged.

I am getting “Oops, an error occured” when I try to use the Conversation integration. I am not getting anything in the system logs, and I am at a loss at where to look for a fault in my installation.

I recently activated it in my Configuration.yaml, after updating to 2023.5, I am running on the following versions:
Home Assistant 2023.5.3
Supervisor 2023.04.1
Operating System 10.1
Frontend 20230503.3 - latest

Has anyone had similar troubles with the Conversation integration?

I tried to take an example from the “Assist - Custom Sentences” page but it gives the same error

Can you share the error message in the logs?

I tried to run the “how is the year of voice going” assist again and then triggered a light that I knew would result in a warning to make sure the log had updated data:

I am normally accessing through my own domain over Cloudflare with Nginx proxy manager, but I just accessed through the local IP address at home, but I got the same error message.

Nikku · May 24, 2023, 5:42pm

I had something like this happen to my install, but I was using Piper/Whisper and a custom assistant. What ended up happening to me was that somehow my Whisper disappeared and my Piper install was corrupt (I had moved my system to proxmox and restored a full backup, so guessing something went wrong with that). Anyway, I uninstalled and reinstalled Piper/Whisper and updated Wyoming protocol with the new ones, and it started working again.
That all said, have you gone into the Voice Assistant settings page and looked over what is in there? It should define a STT and TTS engine there; If those are missing I have seen it have this behavior.

Slixx · May 25, 2023, 12:35pm

I think the setup of the configuration is okey.

I have however migrated this year from a Raspberry Pi 4B to a VM running in Unraid on an Intel NUC. It could be the migration that somehow got screwed.

I will try and start up a Home Assistant VM on my other Unraid server to see if a fresh install has the same issue.

Nikku · May 25, 2023, 12:39pm

So I noticed myself that if you set the tts/stt to none it causes this error as well. Try setting them to the default cloud ones and see if your error goes away?

Slixx · May 25, 2023, 12:54pm

It works

I had to create a trial user for Nabu Casa in order to get Home Assistant Cloud, as I had no TTS/STT options otherwise.

Never crossed my mind that I would need TTS/STT for the initial conversation part.

I guess this is a good point in my Home Assistant journey to switch to using Nabu Casa and supporting the project

Nikku · May 25, 2023, 3:23pm

You also have the option of using piper and whisper add-ons if you want things local, but it’s also good to support the devs and community via nabu

Slixx · May 25, 2023, 8:52pm

I will most likely be playing around with them during June, still think it’s time to support the team though
Thanks for the help!
