I have been using Home Assistant for a few years now, and I love it. One thing I seem to miss is a way to extract additional words spoken to Alexa. When I used HomeSeer, I could extract the spoken parameters and use them for various tasks. For example, a voice command might be, "Save the data 1234," where the command is "save the data," and the parameter is "1234."

I would like to set up an automation in Home Assistant that can extract "1234" and execute a corresponding action. From what I've read, this seems like a major effort, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Does anyone have any good documentation or resources that could help me figure out how to do this?

Sentence-triggered automations aren't the best way to call assist. 🙂
You may use custom intent script for this, placing slot there like "Save the data {data}".
