My mistake… thnx for pointing it out :slight_smile:

@broesie I have a question, since you have a great knowladge of Tasker and AutoVoice.

I am trying to set command filter slightly differently. You gave an example of command filter:
(?<task>.+) my (?<device>.+)

In some cases I don’t need any word between (?<task>.+) and (?<device>.+) (so in your example word my). How can I achieve that? Tried different syntaxes like:

(?<task>.+)(?<device>.+)
(?<task>.+?<device>.+)
(?<task>?<device>.+)
etc.

…but it doesn’t work

It would also be perfect if I could set command filter in a way to check Contains all. I just want to say my command in whichever order, and if AutoVoice recognizes, that my command included (?<task>.+) and (?<device>.+), it would know what to do.

So for example:
task = turn on
device = living room lights

Instead od saying:
Turn on living room lights.

I could say:
Home Assistant, please turn on living room lights.

AutoVoice would know which task to execute, because my command would include turn on and living room lights.

Is it possible to do this?

Hi

I am having trouble with setting a profile up. You said to select “Event” and then checkmark “Event Behaviour” I cannot find “Event Behaviour” I can only find it if I select “State”. Also under “State” I cannot find checkmark “regex” its disabled.

Can you please clarify this?

Thanks.

24

In old versions, there was an option “Event Behaviour”. Then later on, it was removed. Anyway, you should checkmark “Regex”, it is neccessary. Use context instead of state. Context will act faster as State…
I hope it helps…

25

Thanks for pointing that out.

I am confused by this line:

Variable set: %HASS_TOPLIGHT to light.living_toplight

“light.living_toplight” where do I get mine from? I am using a mqtt switch to turn on my lights.

26

That is your entity of your light… you can find that in the dev console…

27

Thanks.

Did you mean to use context in configuration task instead of variables set?

28

Context as your profile trigger in tasker, I recommend not using State as profile trigger in tasker…

Hey sorry to bother u but I am getting this error ;

Hey @broesie I managed to sort the errors but when I say “OK Google turn on kitchen lights” nothing happens instead it does a Google search of what I said.

Can you please help me?

Thanks.

Just a quick hint I am using this tutorial in conjunction with the new API.ai component to control everything from my phone. I just replaced

(?<task>.+) my (?<device>.+)

with

ask my home (?<device>.+)

and make an api call to api.ai with RESTTask configuring the header and everything and then parse the answer with a JavaScriptlet and use say to let my phone talk. If anyone wants to do the same let me know.
I find this method somewhat better as I don’t have to make a tasker task for everything on my phone I just need to add new actions to the API.ai site and HA. And the API.ai api can be used from multiple sources (like telegram).

~Cheers

Hi could you explain more in detail?
Do I have to say “OK google” or just “turn on my lights” as nothing seems to work for me :frowning:
Thanks

33

I have to say “OK google” to activate google Speech to text. And then "ask my home "

Do you have OK google activated?

~Cheers

34

I am not sure but when I say “OK Google” it does listen. I thought with the setup described by @broesie you couldn’t use “OK Google” ?

35

I am perfectly fine using ok google I just am not able to ask it anything that get’s handled by my tasker task…so no “ask my home …” will be parsed by google but everything else will…I can still e.g. set a timer.

~Cheers

I have failed with this Tasker (@broesie) project as it doesnt seem to work for me. I have the if statement up and running and it even turns the light on and off when I test (play) it but as I say “OK Google or Turn on my kitchen lights” nothing happens instead I get a web search.

37

But you do have the profile active and have bought the voice plugin mentioned?

~Cheers

38

yes I do !

39

I have it working for me. What do your profile settings in the plugin look like? Did you try starting from scratch and try again? Also which version of Android are you rockin?

~Cheers

I have started from scratch twice now and I get the same issue.
here is the thing my http post command when I test it on Tasker with the little play icon on the left bottom corner, my lights turn on but when I put the same address i.e. http://XXXX.duckdns.org:8123/api/services/switch/turn_on?api_password=XXX I get “405: Method not allowed” very strange !

I am on android 6.0.1 Samsung Note 4
