Hi all. I'd like to use music assistant with voice assist and have music default to a speaker in the same room as the microphone. I've been told by the guys who develop music assistant that HA doesn't yet support that.
Is this possible in any way?
I'd like to say "play queen"
Rather than "play queen in the study" as HA "should" know I'm in the study with the voice satellite and the study speaker!

The guys at MASS are right, you can't do that out of the box. You can implement automations with sentence triggers or custom sentences, though

It does work in MA, but it's sort of hit/miss. If I just say "Play <some song, artist, album, etc>" it would play where I made the request if no other media player has recently been interacted with, otherwise it seems HA assumes you want to continue controlling the last media player interacted with. However what does work (at least for me) is adding "in here" to my command. So I can say "Play my liked songs playlist in here", and it knows "in here" is whatever area the satellite I am talking to is assigned to.
I also tried modifying my LLM prompt to tell it to assume all commands I issue are for the area I am in unless specified otherwise, but that doesn't seem to always work either.

(i think that) OP was referring to the built-in intents, not LLM-powered agents and their query included a search string ("queen"). none of that is possible at the moment out of the box

Thanks all. I did wonder about trying to get the LLM to assume "study" unless otherwise stated as a fudge but it would be nice if this works oob. Is this a planned feature any time soon?

Yeah i use custom intent with <area> slot from device context. Use it everywhere i can, it's awesome 🙂

Thanks @lyric quiver I don't suppose you could share what you mean?

@unreal dragon like this:
PlayMedia:
data:
- sentences:
- "play {media}"
requires_context:
area:
slot: true
- sentences:
- "play {media} in [the | a] <area>"
Pay attention to first sentence.

Thanks, I'll give it a go. Where do you get the device context? Sorry, familiar with HA but not yet with assist etc.

Add area to your assist satellite device. That'll do it
unreal dragon
Cheers, I'm on it 😃

heads up @unreal dragon : in the second sentence, what you get back is the name you called your area (if you said it)
if, for example, you have aliases for an area, you'll get back whatever alias you used, not the area ID or canonical friendly name

Yup, i have PR open for getting area by alias, it's sitting there for a while... https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/126150
Maybe some comments there could help getting attention? 🙂

Hi all. I'd like to use music assistant with voice assist and have music default...
I have this with mpd snapcast local music and alot of scripting.
play music <artist> / play album <album> of <artist> / music on/off/next/up/down
all works in house in the room where the satellite and speakers are when home.
also works on my android phone and roaming bluetooth speaker.

I hope this gets picked up now that a lot more people are getting their hands on the HA Voice PE. People will probably stumble on this one more often.
At least that's how I got here.

Well i tried getting mass geting to work with voice when it was still in beta.
There might always be errors in the artist name and the search of mass isnt selecting original material fist.
I have all my artists in a sql database with a levenheid (something) function to get the 1st best close match.
Tried giving lots of feedback to mass when it still has beta. They did nothing with it and told the LLM integrarion was the only way to get mass working with voice.

I'm more talking about getting area aliases to work in custom intents.
