#Error talking to open ai

Anthropic as well
I got the same issue with OpenAi when upgrading to 2026.1 of Home Assistant. The logs for me showed an error like this:
"Invalid schema for function 'HassStartTimer': schema must have type 'object' and not have 'oneOf'/'anyOf'/'allOf'/'enum'/'not' at the top level."
I rolled back to the previous version to solve the issue for me, as it looks like a problem that can't be solved by config.
yeah fixed it for me too, thanks man 🙏
I have the same issue, unfortunately I can't roll back so it looks like no OpenAI for me till it gets fixed. ChatGPT says this was a fixed issue so it looks like some old code got into the latest release (or ChatGPT is hallucinating again 😆 )
Hi not sure if this helps but I got around it by unchecking the assist option in the 'control home assistant' option.
That’s fine but then you can’t have it do anything
It will still follow some commands but you have to ask it directly. If you start a conversation with it then it won't do HA stuff.
I'm not sure what the issue is but something happens when the assistant is checked. Hopefully someone smarter than me knows what that means and to solve it 😅
It's a known bug, think it's supposed to be fixed in core HA soon
yeah it's an issue with the new update, also why would you want llm no assist

Let's revert and include in patch tomorrow so we are at least not broken in production and pressure is off.
Is this for the 2026.1.1 minor release? When do those minor releases roll out?
The Revert PR is set for the 2026.1.1 milestone.
In general the x.x.1 release is on the Friday after the release. which would have been yesterday.
sometimes they are delayed for various reasons. with CES going on and some other stuff the team is a bit thin on the ground compared to usual so this is likely one of the causes of the delay however i am not totally sure. Ill ask people more important than me though and see if anyone has any idea of the timeline.
Currently the timeline is a Gandalf situation... It will arrive precisely when its meant to.
unfortunately I can't roll back so some of my stuff aint working 😭
My issue is probably related but I get streaming tts errors suddenly with it saying "pipeline is busy" asking any question or giving command causes it to take forever. Using ollama though. I'm about to the point of taking ha completely offline and keep it in maint mode. The devs seem hell bent on staying relevant against homey and wanting things "easier" that they aren't debugging much before they throw out releases. Or at least that's what it feels like. With the amount of paid employees at HA now, there really is no reason how this was overlooked. Not whining as I get things happen but the frequency of it lately is really getting annoying.
I rolled back to 2025.12.5 and still have the problem. Switched to Homeway Sage and it works fine. I'll cross my fingers for a quick release of 2026.1.1 .
2026.1.1 doesn't fix this. I had to rollback again.
Damn. It's so weird. I can click on assist at the upper right of the screen and it works, but if I click on assistant on my dashboard, or talk to my voice assistants, it won't work.
Same
i've noticed the stop command not working either. it's like the voice pe isn't negotiating properly to the llm
Something is borked bad here
This isn't just openai. I've tried the latest beta firmware via esp web and everything and i get incredibly delayed responses and delayed tts through sonos. This was never an issue before. I may have to downgrade HA and just wait. But yea none of the beta firmwares which supposedly address this are working
Trying again with OpenAI crashed HA and forces a restart for me... so worse
But what i am seeing is a very delayed update from when voice pe switches from idle to listening to responding. The device itself lights up upon listening for command but the log is taking forever to update
Shit where can i find previous HA ver. my backups already overwrote it
well doesn't matter actually, i'd have to start from scratch. damn
yea not just us lol
changes coming
I think this is the root cause of a lot of it
the issues addressed there are basically everyone is having
but the changes won't be out until 2026.1.2 which i hope is quick as hell because i'm fked until then
Yeah, I’ve made too many changes to lose to revert to before it broke. Hours of tedious cleanup that I would lose.
actually i did manage to revert but not revert

technically you're updating to a previous version so nothing is lost
Thanks!!!
I rolled back to 2025.12.3 and mine is still not working. If I set the conversation agent to OpenAI Conversation I get the error from the Dashboard as well as my voice assistants (Error talking to OpenAI). If I sety the conversation agent to Sage (ChatGPT through Homeway addon) it works fine.
So here's something odd. I went into OpenAI Integrations and created a new service. I named it OpenAI Test, I used the same model as my original service GPT-4.1-mini. Then I set my Voice Assistant's Assist Model to use OpenAI Test, and it's working. Hope this works for someone else. I changed back to the original conversation agent and it was broken again. So... Settings-Devices and Integrations-OpenAI-Add Conversation Agent (name it something Unique) Then Settings-Voice Assistants-(choose your assist model) then change the conversation agent to the newly created to the new one you just created.
Now I'm going to update HA to 2026.1.1 and cross my fingers
well... updating back to 2026.1.1 broke it again. I give up trying to figure out a work around.
the above only works apparently if your reverting didn't solve your problem.
i'd wait until tmrws patch. hopefully it's addressed
Has anyone confirmed whether 2026.1.2 fixes the problem with OpenAI? I read the notes and there's no mention of the issue being addressed.
It is fixed for me.
thanks guys I'll also update and test
as an aside is anyone using a custom openai compatible LLM?
didn't fix it for me.. rolling back again.
I am, I use 1minAI and a Docker bridge to turn the API into something I can us for an OpenAI compatible system such as this. I just tested it and it works fine with the plugin with both triggering it via the assistant on the dashboard to my Voice PE, no issues.
any add on you could recommend? i'm trying to integrate lattitude.so
also happy to pay any consultantant for initial setup if any freelancers want to tackle!
This is the one I'm using. https://github.com/jekalmin/extended_openai_conversation
As for the bridge I'm using it was custom made by a member of their discord specifically for 1min.ai
So Jekalmin and OpenAI are working with the 2026.1.2?
For me it is. I had issues with Claude and OpenAI. Now it’s resolved.
It looks like Jekalmin is also now addiing the AI Task ability now in the one I use, I got an email this morning about it from the discussion there. which I think would make it easier to speak what you'd like to build to your Voice Assistant. 🙂
Confirmed.. Extended OpenAI Conversation is working with 2026.1.2 !
Well, that didn't last long. I get a long winded message about some bloody error, and it's broken, even with extended OpenAI Conversation. This is using my voice assistants... it works fine if I use the dashboard icon.
Changed the model to gpt-4o-mini and everything is working now. It seems the model is the problem, they're making some of the models obsolete or something.
Annoying, im pretty comfortable with 5.2 is it still broken even with temp adjusted for you @merry rover
I set my assistant to use gpt-4o-mini and everything works now. I was trying to use gpt-5-mini and that didn't work. I thought of trying some other models, but haven't gotten to it yet.
I upgraded to 2026.1.2 and the error still persists. The only way that fixed is selecting "Recommended model settings" at the OpenAI configuration. It prevents selecting the model and adjusting the parameters, but it's a temporary solution (I hope). 😉
It seems to be working fine in you use gpt-4o-mini. I tried with about 6 other gpt models and it failed with every one. gpt-4o-mini is cheap as dirt, but I'd like the option to use a better model. Hopefully this will be addressed soon!
Hi, do you know if there have been any updates regarding the "Error talking to OpenAI" problem?
Nothing I’ve seen. I guess we’re stuck with the model that they want us using!

So gpt-4o-mini works for you? Dang. I still get “Error talking to OpenAI” with it
has this been fixed 😔
I did uninstall and reinstall the OpenAI integration. I tried so many different things to fix it and tried several versions of ChatGPT and found got-4o-mini was the only one that worked.
Thanks--I did that last week and recently had the "Error talking to OpenAI" error again, but last night it started working on its own
@merry rover @modest hatch @ruby cloak
it works!
I'm in 2026.2.1 and gpt-4.1-mini or gpt-5-mini is working now for me !
Great. I’ll give it a try later! Thanks!
Antrophic was having a similar issue that seems to have cleared up in the recent 2026.2.x releases
