Hello everybody. I just integrated simple Mistral AI ask & response and now want to save the last reply into a textfield or similar to be displayed in HA. Unfortunately the input_text only accepts 255 characters. Are there any ways how I can save a longer response from the AI and save it in a field to then display in HA? Thx in advance!

FOund a way:
- enable python_scripts in configuration.yaml
- create a python script to update a entities attribute to a given value
- create a custom sensor with attribute in the configuration.yaml
- In a script or automation use the python script to set that sensors attribute to a value of your choice regardless of length

You could just use a trigger-based template sensor. No need for Python.
Usually the easiest way to make a sensor that can be updated on demand is to use a trigger based template sensor with a custom event as the trigger. Then when you want to update that sensor you just fire that custom event along with the data you want to update it with

Okay. I now want do the same (save text of a length more than 255 characters) in a custom integration. Shipping a trigger with an integration is not a thing, or is it? This is my first integration and I am kinda lost. I got the REST call done and can also get responses, but I want to store that response.

I’ll definetly try to adapt my existing logic. I wasn’t aware this is a thing. I am learning a lot about HA recently!

If you’re making an integration, you should be able to create an entity. You shouldn’t need to leverage other integrations to create your entities. I’ve never made an integration though. You would have better support over in #1257019582112334014 which is a channel for developers

I am trying, but I can't get entities done somehow. I can set states for non existing senors though... but I'd rather be able to ship a entity with my integration :/

From what I could gather maybe I could use aiofiles. Gonna give it a shot
