Get list of all my custom sentences?

Configuration Voice Assistant

Is there a simple way to get a list of all of the custom sentences I’ve created as triggers for various automations? As the list grows I find myself (and my family) forgetting what we’ve built custom sentences for or what exactly the syntax is that we used.

It would be cool to create a dashboard page that lists them all out dynamically, but even if there’s just a simple way to “find” them all and print them out/save them, that would be helpful.

Thanks!

Just after I read your post I stumbled on this one. Maybe it can form a basis of what you need? I haven’t delved far.
Alternatively, does the Spook add-on help?

Thanks for both suggestions. I might try out the Entity Manager but the description doesn’t seem to suggest it can go find and list out automation triggers. Spook seems … big! I’m only part-way through trying to understand what it does and it may well offer the functionality I’m after, but it seems to be a rather substantial integration. I’ll have to digest that a bit more before I commit to installing it.

I guess the simple answer to my question is just to look in my automations.yaml file - I can certainly scroll through that to find “trigger: conversation” entries and then copy out the “command” that’s been recorded. For my current purposes, at least, that seems viable.

Create a py script, for example, in the file editor. Then run it in the terminal. python3 config/find.py.

import yaml
import sys

FILE_PATH = '/homeassistant/automations.yaml'

try:
    with open(FILE_PATH, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        automations = yaml.safe_load(f)

    if not automations:
        print("File is empty")
        sys.exit()

    for auto in automations:
        triggers = auto.get('triggers', [])
        if isinstance(triggers, dict):
            triggers = [triggers]
        
        for t in triggers:
            if t.get('trigger') == 'conversation':
                cmd = t.get('command')
                
                if cmd:
                    if isinstance(cmd, list):
                        for c in cmd:
                            print(c)
                    else:
                        print(cmd)

except FileNotFoundError:
    print(f"{FILE_PATH} not found.")
except ImportError:
    print("err PyYAML")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"err: {e}")

Legacy YAML voice automations, if you created them, are stored in /homeassistant/custom_sentences
