#Sentence trigger works in Assist but not via Voice

I have a sentence trigger automation that is supposed to adjust my sleep number bed position based on Preset options. The Odd thing is this works when I test with Assist but when trying to activate via Voice Assistance, I get a message that no device was found. I have confirmed that the entity is exposed to VA. Can someone point me in a direction to try and figure out what I might be missing. I am happy to post any additional information if necessary.

use tripple backticks around stuff not quotes

#

a ` not a '

ivory jacinth
#

it appears to be recognizing it properly, sorry for the formatting error,

tiny garnet
#

looks like its seeing Rob's bed to watch TV. what is your sentence trigger?

ivory jacinth
#

that is the trigger

tiny garnet
#

prefer_local_intents: false

#

you need to turn on prefer local on the pipeline

#

on the pipeline settings. in the conversation agent section

#

perhaps

#

although it is showing processed_locally: true

ivory jacinth
#

I am using Home assistant cloud so should I set local as the second agent?

tiny garnet
#

this option

#

although that might not be there for non llm agents, i am not 100% sure

#

can you post the sentence trigger yaml?

description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: conversation
    command:
      - Rob's Bed to Watch TV
conditions:
  - condition: not
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: select.sleepnumber_rob_foundation_preset_left
        state: Watch TV

    metadata: {}
    data:
      option: Watch TV
    target:

#

I do not have that option to on Home Assistant Cloud settings page

tiny garnet
#

can you try removing the apostrophe from the trigger sentence?

ivory jacinth
#

I will, I am not by the VA to check thanks for the help

tiny garnet
#

cool, let me know how it goes.
