I’m trying out the voice preview device with Home Assistant. I was able to go through the configuration and whatnot and start talking to it.
Just now, I asked it to start a timer for me.
I want to see that timer in Home Assistant somewhere. How do I access the timer it created? Is it creating a timer entity in home assistant?
The timer ended. Can I see anywhere the history of interactions?
One thing that I really want, is to be able to hook up a tablet view somewhere and render the time remaining of a timer.
That’s the one killer feature from the echo shows for me, the ability to render a slideshow of images and the ability to show how much time is left on a timer.
I feel like if we can generate timer entities and hook into that, then we could make a dashboard that was able to render the countdown of the timer. I feel like the soul of an integration with home assistant is in the dev-centric capabilities to hook into automation, so what we really need is access to the state and variables that are being driven by the voice logic
