Hey guys. I have a working voice satellite and I can announce through it using actions in developer tools, but when I try through an automation it doesn't work. The error says it can't find the satellite speaker. Here's the way I have the automation in yaml, maybe I've got something wrong in here.

metadata: {}
data:
  message: Theres Somebody on the front porch!!!
  data:
    type: announce```
mint yarrow

you should switch the dev tools test that works to yaml mode and you can see the correct formatting

Sorry, I thought that's what those were. I'm on a cell phone. Sight isn't what it once was.

you should have something like this:

action: assist_satellite.announce
target:
  entity_id: assist_satellite.sitting_room_satellite
data:
  message: Theres Somebody on the front porch!!!
  preannounce: true

Ok, I figured I had the yaml wrong in the automation. Thank you! It would really be helpful if the developer tools would show examples of the current command in yaml.
