Make llm use real area IDs for custome script

[prime iron]

I made a script that needs a area id as parameter. From the debug i can see that it wants to do the right thing but it uses a not valid area id. For example it tries to use area_id: Wohnzimmer Unten, which is invalid. A valid one would be area_id: wohnzimmer_unten

So what to do to make the LLM use valid IDs? Maybe a different description of the argument?

Here is the interesting part of my script:

fields:
  destination:
    selector:
      target: {}
    name: Destination
    description: Where to speak
    required: true

Make llm use real area IDs for custome script

Try

selector:
  area:

That may do what you need? Often this also as additional sub fields for integration target and domain as well. Could draw some ideas from https://github.com/music-assistant/voice-support/blob/main/llm-script-blueprint/llm_voice_script.yaml

Not sure what your script is trying to do so hard to offer pointers 😅

There's area_id(area_name) template to switch

[prime iron]

That's sadly not what i need. The LLM need to be able to use areas, but also entitys directly. The ma blueprint is sadly no help either...

I can tell you that the variable is used for media player target

???

I mean to convert area name like "Bedroom" to area ID in your scripts or automations, you can use function area_id("Bedroom").

[prime iron]

And this works even if the name is only similar?

[carmine comet]

No, but your LLM should switch your "similar" response into exact area name.
Also that function works with aliases, so you can add aliases like "lower bedroom" or "main bedroom" or "cave", and it all will work

I just figured it out. I just told it in the argument description to use id instead of name XD. But now i have the problem that when using LLM via companion app, it does not have a source device....

[prime iron]

Now it doesn't work again. Now it just asks me for the IDs....

I need a better description prompt for it

[carmine comet]

That's why I prefer writing scripts my own, even if they're called by LLM. Then I can hide complicated logic from that silicon dumbass.

[prime iron]

That's already my own script...

[carmine comet]

Well, you can play with your prompt, and you can use that function i shown you above...

[prime iron]

It uses now the id, but now sometimes it asks me for the id. So it is able to do it. So i would think that i only need to tweak the argument description to work better

What text need to be included into the argument description?

[carmine comet]

I mean, don't ask it using ID. Convert area name into ID in your script.

[prime iron]

But the area names are wrong

And i need area, entity or device

[prime iron]

I need to be able to address devices, entitys and areas. But even area names are sometimes wrong

[carmine comet]

Then you need to use better model I guess...

[prime iron]

Im using Gemini

Then I have no more ideas 🙂
