Hi,

For a while I have consistently been getting this error maybe 60-70% of the time I use Gemini for the voice assistant. I am using gemini-flash-latest and all the default settings.

Has anyone else had this and found a solution?

@zealous burrow Did you applied Gemini fix so it can search the web?

uncut pebble <@130062174918934528> Did you applied Gemini fix so it can search the web?

I have not, web searching is unchecked. Just Assist is enabled

It also continues to happen if I apply the search workaround. It's not every message but I would say definitely over half of them

@zealous burrow you need to setup web search if you want questions to be answered that HA can't provide. Your example is: "What will the weather be like for the next two hours?" that is something that HA does not provide since it provide only current temp, wind, humidity... that are for current hour. So it will error since it can't find it online. For this kind of questions, you need to setup in prompt your location and to have fix applied.
Other thing to check is your wifi signal for your HA VA that can impact as well

Hey so even though I don't need web data I added that workaround for search and still get this issue even for simple queries quite often

I have this issue as well

#

Yeah I have reinstalled my whole setup since then, resetup the Gemini integration along with the web workaround. Both with and without web same issue as the debug logs I posted originally

Another example of kinda how it will give that error then the next response will be fine.

#

I'm not the best with python but I might give it a try debugging it myself
