I’m really struggling with this. The underlying objective is to turn on my music assistant and play a radio station from a list. I have absolutely no problem with turning the media player on or off by voice assistant:
But when I get to the choose part of the automation:
- action: assist_satellite.ask_question
metadata: {}
data:
question: Which radio station do you want?
preannounce: true
entity_id: assist_satellite.home_assistant_voice_0a4023_assist_satellite
answers:
- id: one
sentences:
- BBC Radio one
- Radio one
- One
- id: two
sentences:
- BBC Radio two
- Radio two
- Two
response_variable: answer
- action: assist_satellite.announce
metadata: {}
data:
message: I will turn on radio {{answer.id}} for you
preannounce: true
target:
entity_id: assist_satellite.home_assistant_voice_0a4023_assist_satellite
the answer.id always returns as “none”
and the log shows:

I am struggling to understand why my initial speech is recognised, but my response isn’t. Can anybody help me interpret the error log? Thanks in advance.
