[conversation] HomeAssistant to ask me something?

[pure rune]

Is it doable for HA to send some question to some voice satellite, and ask me for example "You have arrived, do yyou want me to turn TV?"

[devout beacon]

if you have an LLM attached then yes, you use the action assist_satellite.start_conversation

[pure rune]

and that particular satellite needs to be configured to use LLM?

[devout beacon]

yeah the satellite's active pipeline needs to include a LLM

How do you get voice output though from it? I haven't been able to just type in a set of words and have it tts back to me. Using Piper and whisper via voice preview all local with LLM and yeah can't get an easy automation process that lets me type in what I want it to say without needing a voice input upfront.

It usually just says "done" whenever it does an automation.

I think its not a converastion in a full term of the speaking.
Im actually put a question wjhich I want to ask me. And then I sad yes/no
and then conversation ended

[devout beacon]

sounds like your using a conversation trigger. and it will say "done" as a default response unless you use "set conversation response" to tell it what to say in respose.

start conversation is different in that it is an LLM activly starting a conversation with you with text of your choosing.

Do you have an example yaml I could look at please. I would really appreciate it 🙂 I've been using intents plus configs but have moved alot over to automations and would just like to see the structure of how to include text to speech followups and replace done

Many thanks!

Thanks alot man!

[pure rune]

and we can't chain another question?
For example:
No I cannot dance as I am a voice assistant. DO you want me to turn on livingroom TV?
