How should I name my outdoor temperature sensor so that I can ask Google about the temperature outside without having to say “temperature” before the sensor name?
This is what I’ve added to the configuration file for the google_assistant
integration (translate from Swedish so perhaps the phrasing is off ):
sensor.weather_temperature:
name: temperature outdoors
room: Outside
aliases:
- temperature outside
- temperature
- what's the temperature
- what's the temperature outside
- how hot is it outside
- how cold is it outside
I want to be able to ask Google simple phrases such as:
- “Hey Google, what’s the temperature outside?”
- “Hey Google, what’s the temperature?”
- “Hey Google, how hot is it outside?”
- “Hey Google, how cold is it outside?”
And have Google answer me with the value from my sensor. But whenever I ask the question above, Google will either explain to me what temperature is from wikipedia, or it will tell me a generic temperature in my city from some online weather service instead of using the sensor.
I need to say “Hey Google, what’s the temperature {alias}?” which means that I need to say this to get it to read me my sensor value:
- “Hey Google, what’s the temperature what’s the temperature outside?”
- “Hey Google, what’s the temperature what’s the temperature?”
- “Hey Google, what’s the temperature how hot is it outside?”
- “Hey Google, what’s the temperature how cold is it outside?”
How can I get it to read me the sensor value just by saying “Hey Google, who cold is it outside?”. Perhaps it’s possible using Google routines, but I don’t want to set up a bunch of routines for all members of the family.
