I noticed in the release notes assist_satellite.start_conversation
I have My Voice Assistant PE setup with LLM.
But Cannot select my PE it with assist_satellite.start_conversation
In the release notes i see (Starting a conversation with the default conversation agent is a bit more work and did not make it this release).
Does this mean it still in development for the Voice Assistant PE?
Tried the same - same result…
Running latest ESPHome Dev, updated to today’s build and get an error when running the update of the PE… Will follow what they do with this update…
I have created a github issue
Could you link to or share information how you swapped from the factory firmware to the dev version?
I would love to be able to tweak and install the official config on my PEs.
Having the same issue. According to the docs you need an LLM setup (Assist Satellite - Home Assistant) and they explicitly mention OpenAI and not Claude (which is what I use), so I thought maybe only OpenAI is supported atm?
Can anyone using OpenAI confirm they also don’t see their satellite available to select?
If you go to your voice satellites device page there should be a switch called “Beta Firmware”, it might be hidden initially, just enable it.
I haven’t done it myself, but I assume toggling this on will start considering the pre-release GitHub releases (Releases · esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe · GitHub) as valid update options for your device
Currently It apperently only works with VOIP Phone
Please Like this post and maybe DEV can work on it 
Quick update - heard JLo and Paulus mention this on the Voice Chapter 9 stream tonight. They confirmed that it’s coming to voice satellites soon, its just up to an ESPHome update.
Lets hope we get this soon not going to buy a analog phone to put next to the Voice Assistant PE… Just to have my home ask me a question 
I use this method… it’s a bit long at first, but at least it works well in Italian.

Thanks! this would work with Okay Nabu “Yes”
At least that seems to be alternative for know. Not using Node Red but indeed you can create something similar with helpers.
Announce the question “Do you want to Turn on the computer?”
Turn ON Helper for Question “Do you want to Turn on the computer”.
Wait for Answer Okay Nabu “Yes” / buildt in time for no response Turn off Question. “Do you want to Turn on the computer”
If Yes is received in time. Check the active question and trigger Turn on computer automation.
work as a alternative
Okay Something nice in 3 automations to start to have conversation
My Home Assistant ask question and If I respond with yes or no it give corresponding answer the only thing is that.
You need to say Okay Nabu after the announcement.
And if you Say Yes it will reply Done and then trigger the correct response.
Saying no take also longer for The PE to respond with Done and continue 
Is there away to use the text response Voice PE receives?
and push this through the next automation?

I like using node red becouse in this case, with swich node i can use only one flow and 2 input tex to make how many “ask question” from satellite and answer i want. I think that using your or this method now is the only way.
Do you think that is it possible use conversation.process and use the conversation id?
action: conversation.process
data:
text: "hi ask me: do you want ope the cover?"
agent_id: conversation.google_generative_ai
conversation_id: cover123
But i cannot figure out how to tell assist to have the same conversation_id when i call “ok nabu”.
Stuck at the same thing.
Can you really find the solution to this problem?
yes. i found a solution that works with assist and Google ai as Agent:
