[Quality of Life] Allow "Intents Sentence Syntax" in Aliases

saftigesSteak · April 29, 2024, 10:36pm

Hi everyone,

Right now I give all my devices some aliases for Assist. I did add some custom intents to my my “custom_sentences/de/custom-sentences.yaml” so I understand the syntax of it and it worked in my .yaml and automations pretty well.

For better understanding what Syntax I mean here the official github “light_HassTurnOn.yaml”

github.com

home-assistant/intents/blob/1a6912d73509a611d493646e0367d489a182e355/sentences/en/light_HassTurnOn.yaml

language: "en"
intents:
  HassTurnOn:
    data:
      - sentences:
          - "<turn> on (<area> <name> <light_devices>|<name> <light_devices> [in <area>])"
          - "[<turn>] (<area> <name> <light_devices>|<name> <light_devices> [in <area>]) [to] on"
          - "activate (<area> <name> <light_devices>|<name> <light_devices> [in <area>])"
        expansion_rules:
          light_devices: "(light[s]|[light] switch[es])"
        requires_context:
          domain: "light"
      - sentences:
          - "<turn> on [all] <light> in <area>"
          - "<turn> on [all] <area> <light>"
          - "[<turn>] [all] <area> <light> on"
          - "[<turn>] [all] <light> [in] <area> on"
          - "activate [all] <light> [in] <area>"
          - "activate [all] <area> <light>"
        slots:

So I did similiar Syntax in my Aliases, but if so Assist didn’t parse my devices correctly anymore

The picture above doesn’t work. Instead of writing 2 Aliases as in this example I have to write 10 to make it working:

Soundbar
Dolby Soundbar
Atmos Soundbar
Dolby Atmos Soundbar
Soundanlage
Dolby Soundanlage
Atmos Soundanlage
Dolby Atmos Soundanlage
Dolby Anlage
Atmos Anlage

It could be even more rows if I add “Surround” and “Soundsystem” to the possible Aliases.

Is it possible to add this feature?

Thanks!
