#assist_satellite.start_conversation can't find satellites

it's only implemented in VOIP satellites for now (e.g.g an old landline phone connected to a Grandstream). it does not work with ESPHome satellites, but my best guess is that it soon will
is this a limitation in the satellite of on the HA side?
it's not a limitation, it's a missing implementation which will happen very soon
Seems it was implemented in the ESPHome firmware last night, but I think it isn't yet enabled in HA Core, looks like that will be in the next release based on what shows up in the dev branch 🙂
Actually I may be incorrect on the above, I think recent firmware added support for continue conversation, not start conversation.
But that also is not yet released, think it is only in the nightly builds for HA.
Sorry to revive this post but now that it provides this with 2025.4, how can i see there all my other Atom Echos? Only the voice PE shows
don't think the feature is supported by anything other than the Voice PE
Could check in the ESPHome discord and see if they are moving that over yet
Koala/Respeaker and FPH Satellite1 support it too.
From what I can tell on the 2025.4 patch notes reads regarding start conversation
“After this release, this feature is now available for ESPHome based voice assistants…”
