Tuning TV channels using custom sentences

[dapper gorge]

Does anyone know how to configure an option to go to any TV channel by saying the channel name in a custom sentence using media_content_id, but without configuring each channel per name?

I thing that you should check this document..this can probably be done by pointing to the channel names: https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/custom_sentences/#setting-up-sentences-in-the-config-directory
It's also worth taking a look here for a detailed description:

I already did that, and it doesn't work!

intent_script:
  ChangeChannel:
    speech:
      text: Changing the channel to {{ channel }}
    action:
      - service: media_player.play_media
        target:
          entity_id: media_player.lg_tv
        data:
          media_content_type: channel
          media_content_id: "{{ channel }}"

intents.yaml:

intents:
  ChangeChannel:
    - Turn to {channel}
    - Turn TV to {channel}
    - Turn the TV to {channel}
    - Turn the living room TV to {channel}
    - Turn living room TV to {channel}

configuration.yaml:

intent_script:
  ChangeChannel:
    speech:
      text: Changing the channel to {{ channel }}
    action:
      - service: media_player.play_media
        target:
          entity_id: media_player.lg_tv
        data:
          media_content_type: channel
          media_content_id: "{{ channel }}"

You need to define slot for "channel" field. Assist needs to know what's there in {channel}

That's the last thing I did in my configuration:

intent_script:
  ChangeChannel:
    speech:
      text: Changing the channel to {channel}
    action:
      - service: media_player.play_media
        target:
          entity_id: media_player.lg_tv
        data:
          media_content_type: channel
          media_content_id: "{channel}"
    slot_lists:
      channel:

It looks incorrect. Did you do it with ChatGPT?

[dapper gorge]

I actually asked it, yes

[dapper gorge]

OK, can you tell me how to correct it?

As I checked the document also

[dapper gorge]

I corrected it but encountered a different error:
