Voice PE - Find your Phone

Hey everyone,

I recently lost my phone (again) for a few hours. In the past, I would simply ask Google Assistant for help, but since I’ve banished it, I had to come up with a different solution :smile:

That’s why I created this blueprint—it should make finding your phone much easier. You just define a command, specify which phone to locate, and set a few details for the TTS (Text-to-Speech).

Here’s the link:

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

I’ve only tested this on Android so far—hope it helps!

Best regards,
Max

I don’t know if it’s my phone, or I’m not getting the timing right, or some other cause… but having the Wait for trigger for the actionable notification in the loop isn’t working well for me. The repeat just keeps going until it completely times out.

The following is working for me:

Modified Version

I moved the Wait-for-trigger to a real trigger and branched the actions with Choose. In order to do that I also moved the device_name variable to a trigger variable and made it so it can be used to create a device-specific action ID to cover the edge case when you’re looking for multiple devices at the same time.

Strange, both versions work fine for me. I really assume it’s some weird Android phone settings issue.

Thank you so much for your extended version. :slight_smile: I think this should work on all phones Android devices now! Great work :+1:

Works great thanks for the blueprint :slight_smile:

I had the same issue with the loop repeating until it timed out (10x). I had run it manually from the automation since my Voice PE is not recognizing the prompt. I saw your modified blueprint, and I was wondering how I could use that?

I’ve moved my modified version to its own thread so it could have its own “My Home Assistant” download link. I have linked the new thread in my previous post.
