AI Voice Assistant Help

Hi,

first just wanted to say great work with your AI Assistant - I hope to get some good use out of it.

This leads me to my question and help. I installed it today with a HA voice assist connected to open AI and that went pretty well - although connect the device was challenging without Home Assistant :slight_smile:

id like to know how it works and wondered how the devices it looks for etc. work and can they be limited?

I have to say the first impression wasn’t good and hence my questions to make sure if I’m doing everything correctly.

For example I have a temp control in my hall for the heating which exposes many things including temp and humidity and it is in a zone called hall.

as one of my tests I asked it what the temperature was in the hall but it came back telling me there was no device in the hall for temperature. Which isn’t true. There are 2 devices both which expose temperature.

So I wondered if it was me. I tried another. I have a group of lights in a zone called living room and the lights were called living room lights. They are in a zone called living room back (it’s split and I have a front too). The HA voice is actually in the same zone too.

I asked it turn on the living room lights and it failed again. I only got it working once when I explicitly asked it with the full and proper zone name and full and proper name for light group. But I feel like that isn’t natural and worse than Alexa.

So am I doing something wrong? How does it work? What does it read and can I make it better somehow but part of this was me wanting to use natural language where possible as having to explicitly say everything as I’ve named it.

any help and guidance would be great please as I have high hopes for this especially so I don’t have to program Alexa with specific sentences that I tend to forget exactly what it wrote :slight_smile: .

Thanks. Adam
