Voice PE issues

Configuration Voice Assistant
1

First off ..why is there no category for the Voice Assistant PE???? If there is and this should be there please let me know.

I got and tried setting up Voice PE on my system with Home assistant yesterday and after hours with Claude got nowhere. It responds to the wake work and time but that is it. This is what the AI said was the problem.

I have a Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition on Home Assistant OS 2026.7.1 running on an HP ProDesk Mini.

Symptoms:

  • Wake word works.
  • "What time is it?" works.
  • "What's the weather?" is understood and replies "No weather is exposed."
  • "Turn on Computer Lamp" always replies "Sorry, I couldn't understand that."
  • Developer Tools → Assist correctly parses "turn on computer lamp" as HassTurnOn.
  • light.turn_on works correctly from Developer Tools.

Log errors:

  • Unexpected error processing request for /api/cloud/login
  • required key not provided @ data['tts_voice']. Got None (invalid_format)
  • Error unloading entry Home Assistant Voice ... assist_satellite

Additional observations:

  • The Home Assistant assistant originally showed Speech-to-text = None.
  • The Home Assistant Cloud page asks me to sign in, but if I enter my credentials it says I am already logged in.

Can you help determine whether this is a Voice PE configuration issue or a regression in Home Assistant 2026.7.1?

There is a Voice Assistant Category, whether your "Hardware" Voice PE is the cause to your issues and don't know, but from the errors you show, it more look like credentials/system errors ( Maybe configurations )

Have you exposed entities to Assist?

Settings >Voice Assistants >Expose (tab at top of page)

Lets start with your expectations.

And before you start Assist and Assist LLM Support in HA is VERY DIY.

What have you setup what were your expectations and what have you read.

Also do not trust an LLM response to How anything in HA voice works rn. It moves too fast and the meaningful stuff is inside the LLMs blind zone unless you specifically trained or grounded otherwise.

So hi! what would you like it to do?

You also didn't mentioned if you setup the voice pipeline and how.
