Does this not work yet or what command am I supposed to use?

"Set the TV source to Jellyffin" doesn't seem to work, though turning it on/off works fine

Using Assist? There's no such intent, but you can create a custom one.

I created custom intent for it. And added script to turn TV on, if it's off, wait for it to become online, and then switch source.

There is alot of room for growth in this area but I wouldnt expect assist to do it for you. Instead think of assist as something triggering the script that does.

For example an script that changes the source on your device with inputs setup could work. I went even further and if I name a show or movie it hits apis to tell me what services its on then pulls it up in that service. Buts its highly specific and custom.

Moral of the story, its doable but you are gonna have build out the capability then have assist trigger it rather then know how to do it on its own.

They have shown videos on how to tie scripts to assist in the past, I would recommend starting there

Thank you all for your help, I've found where the existing intents are as well so I can check directly there!
