I’m trying to control the only integration with Music Assistant that I have, which is Spotify & Sonos. Using Assistant, whether it’s voice or written like it is here. The other day it worked, now it doesn’t work, and it’s not giving me any error or I don’t know where to find what that error is. Here’s a screenshot of activity and my conversation with Assist.
Do you have areas setup and if so do yih have an area named Office. If you do not have you added Office as an alias to that area.
Once you have done that. Did you create music assistant players and so you ha e one assigned to the same area named office.
(hint - that’s what the script is looking for.)
If that’s all true voice debug is under settings, voice, your assistant
The device is in a room called Carrie’s office and the device is also called Carrie’s office. When I ask it to play or pause that Sonos, that bit works.
[My typos didn’t seem to matter]
Then you are not meeting the requirements
The music assistant script you’re trying to use matches on either exact match of the entity (do that thing to that Sonos) OR area. If it does am area match there must be a music assistant target in the matched area or…
crickets
You’re telling me you do not have that.
Direct targeting Sonos would work. Targeting Office, the office or any variant thereof would be hit or miss using an LLM. If yih want 100% put a music assistant media player (the one created by ma not the Sonos player) in the same room as your request and make sure the alias for that area says Office
Thanks @NathanCu OK, so I now have:
In Sonos the player is called “Carrie’s Office”
In HA, the device is called “Carrie’s Office” and it is in the area called “Carrie’s Office”
When I say “pause [or play] the music in Carrie’s Office”, it works, when I say “Play madonna like.a prayer in Carrie’s Offlce” it says:
It does not play.
go to settings - voice assistants - [ your assistant ] - three dot menu to the right, select debug - find the ‘failed’ conversation.

It said it called the tool and correctly targeted the room - so do you have any
Music Assistant players assigned to that room - not Sonos or whatever - SPECIFICALLY the Music Assistant players it generates…
All of those are the different integrations I have - well some of them that generate media players.
the script you’re using:
chat_log_delta:
role: tool_result
agent_id: conversation.chatgpt
tool_call_id: call_v6nqfVqAwzgXMGAyXv7w0OK0
tool_name: llm_script_for_music_assistant_voice_requests
ONLY calls Music Assistant players. So you have to make sure one is assigned to the area
