Year of the Voice - Chapter 2: Let's talk

Thanks. Are you talking about this?
I had the microphone icon at the red spot (I guess that’s what you mean) on one chromium browser at one point, but I cannot get it back anymore :roll_eyes:

Yes. Is your voice assistant configured with speech-to-text engine? Are you connected via HTTPS?

Ah ok, my test HA is not SSL enabled. Will try that, thanks.

I have to re-ask here. Is there a thread or area where such questions (why is this or that in commands) not working oder not working as expected or …?

So instead of opening separate threads here where most probably the rule knowing people, language repsonsibles, etc. will not even see them.

This is the best place as it is full of people interested in the feature.

The reason you probably did not get an answer is because your question was far too vague.

What specifically is not working?

Give examples.

E.g., If syntax is

"Wie [hoch|niedrig] ist die Temperatur [<von_dem>] <name>"

shouldn’t

"Wie ist die Temperatur Heizung Büro"

work, if the Entity Name is “Heizung Büro”?

Unfortunately I don’t know as I don’t speak German.

Shouldn’t matter here, should it? Read it technically. Even if the words would be xxx or yyy. I follow the rule, think so.

Nope. No idea what you are saying.

What is a von_dem?

What is a hoch|niedrig?

Doesn’t matter either. [] are optional parts.

but to skip this language topic, let the rule be

"aaa [bbb|ccc] ddd eee fff [ggg] <name>"

shouldn’t

"aaa ddd eee fff <name>"

work if “Heizung Büro” is the name of the climate entity?

So I can substitute anything. Right, lets try asking:

“[squirrel] nuts car fridge [orange]”

It’s just nonsense. Which is what your aaa bbb ccc is. Give specific examples. In the forum language (English).

Sorry Tom, you are on a wrong path. Then you don’t know that this is only a rules engine, which do a word by word comparison with further rules like |, [], <>, … (see above link as well) It is completely not relevant, which are the words here. There is no meaning behind it for the filling weorkds in this rules. Even your example would work, if there is a rule, which corresponds to this schema". But your schema doen’t exist, so my answer would be “your rule does not exist” or wrongly called. The rule I want to call is existing (see link) and I call it with the example, which (in my opinion) should work because of the optional parts and the 1:1 comparison of the words, etc.". So the question is here, why it is not working or should it work and is is perhaps because of the two word entity name or …

And of course, I gave the most specific questions, even with the link to the rule.

If perhaps only the german template is not working (or the path of calling and working with the result), it doen’t make any sense to translate them. Because then I use a rule, which is not existing or another rule, which is perhaps working but without an aswer, why this specific rule is not working. Same if you would ask someone to translate jinja2 if, then, else to another language. Then the answer would be, that it is not working, because it has to be if then else.

I appreciate your help always and here as well, but if you don’t know the rule engine, then it is ofc completely fine and perhaps another one has an idea for my example.

Which was why I wanted a specific example, to check the rule/intent.

As you have failed to supply one I can’t help.

This is pretty specific. What is he missing?

Just a random thought, w/o knowing how the engine works, from a regexp perspective: this tells me “hochorniedrig”, so it makes sense to me that nothing, as in Wie ist, wouldn’t work

Here is my current issue Year of the Voice - Chapter 1: Assist - #93 by OzGav

Seems like Assist fails if the entity name has an apostrophe in it?

Exactly. More specific is not possible. This is the rule as exisiting and my call, which is not working.

And I have this problem as well. Why is the window not recognised?

Edit: I also broadened it to this and no good

Edit2: Looking at the intents I then tried this but still no good (the first question is correctly answered by why does the second fail?

No, at least not explained here: Template Sentence Syntax | Home Assistant Developer Docs

(foo|bar) ist a must with or. [] ist optional.

ok, allowing the app in android firewall surely helps :wink:
Additional i used sip:ha@192… without it i get an error: only direct calls available without server.

I got a spoken english text from my home assistant (i have configured my nonenglish language in assist pipline).
Then i went to the VoIP integration and switched on [allow calls].
But nothing happens if i call HA now, no matter if i set assistant-pipeline to prefered or to Home Assistant.
