When I ask voice PE to set it, this appears in home-assistant.log:
[homeassistant.helpers.service] Referenced entities climate.thermostat are missing or not currently available

The config for thermostat:

  - platform: dualmode_generic # https://github.com/zacs/ha-dualmodegeneric
    name: Thermostat
    unique_id: my_thermostat1
    heater: switch.heater
    cooler: switch.cooler
    fan: switch.hvac_fan
    fan_behavior: neutral
    target_sensor: sensor.temp_home
    # enable_heat_cool: True
    precision: 0.5
    min_temp: 55
    max_temp: 75
#

Very strange that alexa can change it, but voice PE can't. Hmmmmm

have you exposed the thermostat to assist ?

late ermine
#

yes.

late ermine
#

interesting. i can turn the thermostat on/off/heat. but i can't change the set temp! bizzzzare

#

i think this might be related.

i don't understatn why it can't understand.

@finite prairie Thanks. that was what i was going to look for next!
"(<numeric_value_set>|adjust) <temp> [in <area>] to <temperature>"

this isn't making sense to me

#

so you say "67 67 to 67" ?

finite prairie
#

No, you might want to read up on the intent engine a bit to get better understanding of the syntax 🙂

late ermine
#

or "adjust 67 to 67" ?

finite prairie
#

Things on <> are referred to as expansion rules

#

That are defined in _common.yaml

late ermine
#

so "adjust temperature to 67" should work?

finite prairie
#

Seems like it

late ermine
#

yea. its not working. lolz. it must be related to how the sentence is deconstruced to the service call. maybe i just need to make custom settings

#

weird though that alexa works and this isnt.... but i suppose alexa intents are different

finite prairie
#

Maybe open a bug

#

I tried it and also doesn't work right, seems to conflict with other intents

The hole deepens. Why is that false?

finite prairie
#

Ah didn't see it got deprecated or something

dark marlin
#

It's not deprecated, just not yet supported

#

It was never implemented in core

finite prairie
#

Ah

late ermine
#

hrmz. all these road blocks. first it was music, now this!

#

so i guess i figure out how to do it myself or wait.

#

is there an issuse somewhere tracking this?

finite prairie
#

Probably could be done with a simple intent script.

late ermine
#

yea. i just have to learn it.

That's kinda the fun of home Assistant 😅

late ermine
#

lol. its an endless learning adventure. they keep adding stuff too fast.

finite prairie
#

That's what keeps it interesting 🤣

#

Throw the ever evolving llms into the mix and there's always something to tinker with lol

Having an issue with a custom intent for setting thermostat tempera...

I think at least part of the problem is that you are using area as your variable, but there is already a shared function that dictates how to handle that variable. The following is working for me: #climate_intent.yaml language: "en" intents: SetTemperature: data: - sentences: - "(set|change) [the] {area} temperature to {te...
