Trouble making Voice assistant control devices after install

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

Hi! I’m a new user. My system is installed on Home Assistant Green.

I have setup voice assistant and I use Alexa and Google assistants along with Home Assistant Cloud.

The problem I have is that Voice preview doesn’t understand voice commands targeting devices. For example, I have 4 TUYA socket devices controlling 4 lights in one room (integrated with TUYA official integration and working perfectly fine… The devices and associated entities are also exposed to all 3 voice assistants)

The device names are: light one, light two, light three and light four.

When I say: “Okay Nabu, Turn ON light two.”

The response I get is: “Sorry, I’m not aware of any floor called two” taking the “two” in the request as a floor specification…?? Sometimes though, “Turn ON light one” works, but that’s the only one that does that.

In order to find out what is happening, I used the voice assistant debugger, using text input. When I input the exact same command in text, it works perfectly: turning the device ON and home assistant responding “Turned ON the switch” indicating that the corresponding switch (socket) was turned ON.
(NOTE: I can’t use the audio pipelines in debug because the options are grayed out and I don’t know why that is…)

I also have two imported scenes from TUYA integration and those actually work as they should with Voice Preview: one turns all four lights ON and the other one turn all four lights OFF…

Can anybody help me figure out what’s going ON and how to fix this?

Thanks.

Welcome.

Theres a lot of nuance to voice control.

First question we need to know if you’re trying to use builtin assist pipeline or did you add an LLM?

That was quick! :slight_smile: I use the built-in one. I use Home assistant Cloud and I’m not trying to make it work locally

Do not use the word light in names; this is a basic rule. It confuses the built-in handler.

OK thanks. I didn’t not know that!
Any other basic rules like this one I should know about? (i.e. is there a place where these rules are laid out?)

Anyhow, I just changed the device names from light to spot, and re-tried the voice assistant preview. It’s a little better now, but it’s still not working.

Now, if I say: “Okay Nabu, turn ON spot two.”
The response is: “Sorry, I’m not aware off any device called spot two.”

And again. the same command works just fine in the voice assistant debugger…

Please show all output from devtools - assist section and from the Assists debug menu. Also show the properties of your lamps.

Perhaps this is too strict an interpretation; you can use the word ‘light[s]’ if it is the second word in the name/alias.
There are no specific rules, but if something does not work, you should use debugging tools and check the existing intents.

Thanks for the clarification on using light(s) in the name…

Here is the parse sentence result:

intent:
  name: HassTurnOn
slots:
  name: spot two
details:
  name:
    name: name
    value: Spot two
    text: spot two
targets:
  switch.spot_two_socket_1:
    matched: true
match: true
sentence_template: <turn> on (<area> <name>|<name> [in <area>])
unmatched_slots: {}
source: builtin

Here is the RAW output from the debugger:

I bet the reason is in stt - it defines the name as spot 2.

You lost me here… What is stt?

A module that converts your voice(speech) to text

ok so…
What do I to make stt understand that I mean “two” and not “2”?

Just rename your switch

OK!! so add that to your list of basic rules:

Do not use numbers as text in your device names… :dizzy_face:

I’ll try that later (I have to leave now): I really hope this is it…

Thanks for the help. I’ll update here later!

OK I’m back…

Avoiding text numbers in names, definitely is a step in the right direction coz now it works with Voice Preview, but… (there’s a but.)

I have to manually set the entities’ names for each imported entities in Home Assistant for Voice Preview to be able to address them each time Home Assistant server is restarted. If I don’t do that, I still get:

“Sorry, I’m not aware of any device called spot 2. ”

(Since Voice Preview seems to rely 100% on the Entity name field to identify a device.)

I figured that this happens because TUYA’s integration leaves the Entity Names fields blank in entities when loading its configuration into Home Assistant, actually overwriting whatever name I gave it prior.

So now, my question is: How can I possibly prevent that from happening?

This is absolutely abnormal behavior for integration, but Tuya WiFi is a path for the strong-willed.
Try assigning aliases instead of names.

100% agree. That’s broken behavior. entity_id is kind of core if it’s doing that id report a bug tbh. There’s absolutely zero way that’s intended. And if it is how they intend it to work I’d boot them from my system because that breaks all kinds of stuff.

17

Darn! that’s discouraging… :sweat:

@mchk Voice assistants aliases I set in HA are also overwritten or erased when restarting… :roll_eyes:

@NathanCu I will report it as a bug…

I wonder though … would it be possible to apply some sort of a band aid on the problem when restarting HA, for example, by writing a script that would fix the entities names upon HA restarting?

18

Thats not normal… You may have something deeper going on. What’s in your log right after restarting. Does it have anything about entity_ids of some type failing to - whatever?

19

Here is the section in the log concerning TUYA’s integration setup:
(I don’t see any error showing up…)

I’m no expert, but what I think might be odd is that it seems to be registering new devices every time HA starts? (rather than updating them?)

That’s the way I read that. Maes sense. And if that is what they’re doing bug it. Not ok.

So what you’re experiencing is that the ent gets reset every time it gets restarted.

This breaks intended automations (if you rename an ent then create an automation around it by entity id (the recommended way) you broke on restart. This issue above. Also you just noticed it also blows away any descriptive metadata and the labels you may have assigned (in my system thays a huge deal in itself, labels are first class citizens- don’t mess with them or I eject you from my system)

So yeah bug it. If they say it’d as designed point them at this post where plenty of people will say no it’s not supposed to work like that. If they continue drop the integration.

That said there are multiple Tuya integrations maybe one of the others doesn’t do that? (not a Tuya user)
