I have two voice PE devices. I use voice extensively, and make heavy use of set_conversation_response in my automations. It’s been working fine, but all of a sudden yesterday, I’m no longer hearing anything from conversation response actions. The same automations work fine on my Wyoming satellites.
One very odd thing though is that this code (from developer tools) works fine (although not every time):
action: tts.cloud_say
data:
cache: false
entity_id: media_player.home_assistant_voice_bedroom_media_player
message: Hi there and good morning, dave.
But this code (a test automation) is triggered, but I hear no response:
alias: Response Test
description: ""
triggers:
- trigger: conversation
command: Testing
conditions: []
actions:
- action: tts.cloud_say
metadata: {}
data:
cache: false
entity_id: media_player.home_assistant_voice_bedroom_media_player
message: This is a test of the voice response script.
mode: single
Since I didn’t change anything on my end, I don’t know where to go next. I’ve rebooted both HA and the voice PE devices with no luck.
I’ve seen the issue reported in another thread, but it doesn’t yet seemed to have made its way to a bug report. I’m going to try to figure out how to file one, because in its current state, it’s not really usable for me.
I now have this same issue today with VPE device not responding. The pipeline seems to think it is responding but the audio is never played from the device, It seems like maybe it is whenever it uses a cached response that it fails.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? It is hard to use a voice assistant without responses
Out of curiosity, did you recently update? I recently lost voice response too, but I have been playing around with local pipelines and thought that I may have broken something. I recently tried going back to GPT/Cloud and the issue persists, so not I am wondering if it was the update that I recently did that broke it. My voice debug is acting like it worked perfectly and my local logs show everything as working correctly.
Edit: Mine started working mysteriously after a couple of hours. shrugs
I’ve seen some corrolation between wifi signal strength and this issue recurring.
Potencially on this device responses are somehow more sensitive to wifi issues than requests. I added a voice PE device to an additional room where 2.4ghz traffic was congested, 9/10 requests got no response, after resolving the congestion (changing channel on the AP ) voice responses arrive on the device much more frequently.
This is just my experience but I would love to know if anyone else is able to replicate this.
