How does Assist interact with counters

Hi, the following Problem bothers me:

I have counters that count the people, that are in each room.
Sometimes these counters are off. So I want to correct them.

Therefore I wanted to ask Assist to:
“Set kitchen people to 0”
But I cant get assist to interact with this correcly. I can ask it however in which state (numer) the counter is. So it can read but can not write.

Thx in advance for solutions.

Take a look at Sentence Triggers (here and here).
