I use a template sensor for this and store the response as an attribute.

- trigger:
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  - platform: time_pattern
    hours: "0"
  action:
    - action: google_generative_ai_conversation.generate_content
      data:
        prompt: Generate a funny, sarcastic descrption of New Year's Eve. Do not include the name of the holiday in the response and generate a single response only. You can use markdown formatting and emojis in the response.
      response_variable: output
  sensor:
    - name: New Years Eve Description
      state: "{{ now() }}"
      attributes:
        message: "{{ iif('text' in output, output['text'], 'Error Generating Response') }}"

#

Then in the frontend, I use this template: {{ state_attr('sensor.new_years_eve_description', 'message') }}.

Where do you enter in your template sensor yaml? In your config.yaml?

Yes, under template: as shown in the docs there

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

sour bronze Yes, under `template:` as shown in the docs there

What threw me off was the second "trigger" needed in the config.

template:
  - trigger:
    - trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
    - platform: time_pattern
      hours: "0"

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

That looks ... broken

#

    - trigger:
``` is empty - doing nothing

#

Whatever you did that was "needed", that wasn't it

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

I don't get any errors when I check the config in dev tools.. also in the documentation it has it listed (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/)

  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
``` old style
```yaml
  - trigger: homeassistant
    event: start
``` new style

#

The YAML syntax changed with 2024.9 and 2024.10

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:22 PM

#

hmmm, so now I am lost. If I remove the one trigger line item, I get errors.

Configuration errors
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: while parsing a block collection
  in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 322, column 3
expected <block end>, but found '?'
  in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 327, column 3

This is what I have to get the error above:

template:
  - trigger:
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  - platform: time_pattern
    hours: "0"
  action:
    - action: google_generative_ai_conversation.generate_content
      data:
        prompt: Generate a funny, sarcastic descrption of New Year's Eve. Do not include the name of the holiday in the response and generate a single response only. You can use markdown formatting and emojis in the response.
      response_variable: output
  sensor:
    - name: New Years Eve Description
      state: "{{ now() }}"
      attributes:
        message: "{{ iif('text' in output, output['text'], 'Error Generating Response') }}"

#

oops sorry, template: starts it off

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:22 PM

#

Share the whole thing correctly then 😉

(don't forget you can edit posts)

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:23 PM

#

edited my comment. Sorry

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:23 PM

#

You haven't fixed the code yet

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:23 PM

#

OY!

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:23 PM

#

oops sorry, template: starts it off

#

Again though, - trigger: isn't valid

#

Remove that line

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:24 PM

#

There.. my copy and paste didn't paste the edit, it pasted the same incorrect yaml..it's fixed now.

#

I removed the 2nd trigger line item and I get invalid config again..

Configuration errors

  in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 322, column 3

This is what is in my config:

  - platform: homeassistant

  - platform: time_pattern
    hours: "0"
  action:
    - action: google_generative_ai_conversation.generate_content

What's line 322?

What's line 326?

Sounds like you've got errors above

raw scaffoldBOT Nov 4, 2024, 3:27 PM

#

Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:

https://dpaste.org/ (select YAML for the language, and consider picking a longer expiry)
http://pastie.org/ (select YAML for the language)
https://paste.debian.net/ (you guessed it, select YAML as the language)

Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:27 PM

#

Please share the whole file with one of those

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:28 PM

#

My whole config file?? I have access codes etc. in it.

raw scaffoldBOT Nov 4, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

Rather than putting sensitive information (passwords, locations, etc) into your configuration, you can store them in secrets to make sharing easier.

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

The problem is somewhere above line 322

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:29 PM

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:30 PM

#

Ah... hang on

#

Your lack of YAML-fu is the problem

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:31 PM

#

-fu? Ya, I'm still learning.

``` quick fix (line two)

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:31 PM

#

with no errors

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:32 PM

#

You said

template:
  - trigger:
  - platform: homeassistant

#

That's not the same

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

No, I said I added the extra trigger line item:

template:
  - trigger:
    - trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
    - platform: time_pattern
      hours: "0"

And that's when you said no, I shouldn't have it. But it's okay. Glad to get this working!! I do appreciate your help though!

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:34 PM

#

#

shrug

#

I can only go by what you share, not what you meant to share 😉

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:35 PM

#

That gives me config errors..

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 3:35 PM

#

Because it's not valid

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

This is what I had when I posted about adding the second trigger, and I don't get any errors... if this is wrong, what part do I edit?

template:
  - trigger:
    - trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
    - platform: time_pattern
      hours: "0"
    action:
      - action: google_generative_ai_conversation.generate_content
        data:
          prompt: Generate a funny, sarcastic descrption of New Year's Eve. Do not include the name of the holiday in the response and generate a single response only. You can use markdown formatting and emojis in the response.
        response_variable: output
    sensor:
      - name: New Years Eve Description
        state: "{{ now() }}"
        attributes:
          message: "{{ iif('text' in output, output['text'], 'Error Generating Response') }}"

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 4:04 PM

#

That isn't wrong, but that's also not what you shared before...

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

I may not have shared the whole yaml because I didn't think it was important to the conversation because all I said was, that I added the extra "trigger" line item.

sour bronze Nov 4, 2024, 4:08 PM

#

And that extra line wasn't valid, and wasn't needed

#

template:
  - trigger:
    - trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
``` ❌

#

template:
  - trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
``` ✅

deft surge Nov 4, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

Thank you!

#

PS: I did try your suggested edit earlier at 10:22am, and received config errors, but it was because of indentation at that time. Had I indented the platform line, we wouldn't have gone down this rabbit hole. Sorry for my oversight.

deft surge Nov 6, 2024, 8:26 PM

@light hatch In your commend back on Oct 27th, you stated:

Then in the frontend, I use this template:

{{ state_attr('sensor.new_years_eve_description', 'message') }}

How do I use this in my frontend? Do you have an example?

ripe kite Nov 6, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

Pop that into a markdown card. Thats what I do.
