Voice Assist - Prevent switching on/off ALL lights?

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

Hey everyone,

today, the kids discovered a nice little feature of the voice assistant, I configured. When they say “turn office light (off|on),” ALL lights in our home turn off/on.
When I say the same thing, only the office light turns off or on.

Question: Is there a way to prevent that?

  • I’ve checked the list of exposed entities: no “all lights” controller or the like exposed
  • All automations that could do something like that are not exposed to the voice assistant
  • I did not find an internal/built-in intent that could be responsible

I appreciate any ideas! (Had to disable the voice assistant, as the kids constantly exploit the possibilities)

The configuration I currently use:

  • Conversation agent: HA - German
  • TTS: HA cloud - German
  • STT: HA cloud - German
  • Wake Word: OpenWakeWord (on “OK Nabu” model)
  • Audio supplied remotely by a homeassistant-satellite

Thank you in advance for all ideas and advice!

Create a custom intent for “all lights” that simply replies “I’m sorry Dave I can’t do that”.
