Why can't I ask the assistant longer questions? How can I change this so that I can ask him extended questions, etc.? Currently, I can ask him a question for about 5 seconds. And how can I teach him not to ask if he can help me with anything else, etc.?

If you're pausing during your question and it stops listening, change this to Relaxed:

In the ESPHome device

And there is still the issue of longer answers, and teaching him not to say, for example, can I help you with something else?

HOW? When I told him not to say it, he still does it.

Did you change the thing I suggested?

That will wait for 2s of silence, with a timeout of 15s

You're not going to replicate ChatGPT's Voice Mode using HA Assist if that's the expectation. When you say you "told it not to" do you mean in the prompt?

atomic latch
#

I mean, when I called him out, I told him never to do that. I will test this aggressive mode, because I have a problem with it at the moment.

You can't just tell it not to do things in the future

#

It's like a cat

#

You can incorporate stuff like that in the initial prompt context

Include it into the system info in configuration.

This?

Yes.

And prompting it to be called "Homie" would not be useful here. This will not replace the wake word, and it would never really come up in conversation. But defining how it should respond, and how it should not respond, would be appropriate there.

# mighty quarry Yes.

Well, I've done it before. And I gave him instructions to never do it again. But he still does it anyway.

Prompt it better. Ask chatgpt to improve the prompt you want. Explain what you are using it for. Experiment. There are no hard rules for any of this.

Yes, try to explain your needs with free speech, like you would to 5-year old kid.
