Media_Player.Join with Assist?

[hallow fox]

Does assist not have access to media_player.join to ask for a speaker to join a playing speaker? Nothing I have tried works. I do it all the time in automations.

Create a custom sentence for this. It's easier to do this in Yaml by defining a list of media players. https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/custom_sentences_yaml/

Thanks, that is for local control which I will probably setup but I am more interested in getting LLM to do it.

if it doesn't have access, you can create a script that does it and then give it access. This is what I do for more complex tasks for the LLM, like kitchen unit conversion, some additional todo list operations, etc.

Thx! I hadn’t thought of that.

Using scripts is the correct method for interacting with LLM, but it's better to create a single master script to avoid cluttering the context. It can contain logic of any complexity. You can take a look at my version—it's quite clear. https://github.com/mitrokun/custome_sentences/blob/main/ControlMultiroom.yaml

Thank you. I will look at this today. I think this is exactly what I want.
