I have just started playing around with the voice control functionality of HA, with the intent of moving away from Alexa for device control in my home. Right now I’m just talking to it via Assist in the browser, but have a HA Voice PE on the way.
I got some basic functionality working, “turn on living room lights 2 and 3 and turn on the bedroom fan” does exactly what I expect.
However, if I ask it to control my speakers (Sonos) it gets awkward. I am trying “Play Spotify on the Living Room Speaker” or “Play BBC Radio One on the Living Room Speaker” (2 things that work with Alexa just fine) and I get the following. This seems to be a response from Gemini.
I have also tried to tell the Assistant to Prefer Handling Commands Locally, which doesn’t help.
Has anyone had much luck recreating this behavior that Alexa can accomplish?
