WTH can't we choose a voice pipeline on iOS/Siri Shortcuts?

We are still missing the ability to select a voice pipeline when using the “Assist” shortcut on iOS. It defaults to the limited default HA agent and so it is impossible to use Siri or HomePods with more advanced language models.

The “Assist in App” shortcut even lets you select a pipeline it uses when it opens the app on iPhone, but this only allows you to use Assist with pipelines inside the HA app. If this ability to select could simply be added to the “Assist” shortcut this would be fixed.

Bravo! Hope they merge the pull request in soon. Thank you!

Is the assist shortcut still working for you? When I say “Siri, assist” and give an command it only replies with “Done”…

Unfortunately I still have the same result as well. If I run the shortcut inside the Shortcuts app, though, I can see it return a result and I can also see the trace/history in HA, so I know it’s working. Could it be a timeout in Siri that just returns done and doesn’t speak the text if it doesn’t process in time? Or is there an error in the shortcut?
