Setting up custom sentences in configuration.yaml |
|
Intents and sentences may be added in the conversation
config in your configuration.yaml
file:
{% raw %}
# Example configuration.yaml
conversation:
intents:
HassTurnOn:
- "activate [the] {name}"
{% endraw %}
This extends the default English sentences for the HassTurnOn
intent, allowing you to say "activate the kitchen lights" as well as "turn on the kitchen lights".
New intents can also be added, with their responses and actions defined using the intent_script
integration:
{% raw %}
# Example configuration.yaml
conversation:
intents:
YearOfVoice:
- "how is the year of voice going"
intent_script:
YearOfVoice:
speech:
text: "Great! We're at over 40 languages and counting."
{% endraw %}
Besides a text response, intent_script
can trigger any action
available in Home Assistant, such as calling a service or firing an event.
Setting up sentences in the config directory
More advanced customization can be done in Home Assistant's config
directory. YAML files in config/custom_sentences/en
, for example, will be loaded when English sentences (language code en
) are requested.
The following example creates a new SetVolume
intent that changes the volume on one of two media players:
{% raw %}
# Example config/custom_sentences/en/media.yaml
language: "en"
intents:
SetVolume:
data:
- sentences:
- "(set|change) {media_player} volume to {volume} [percent]"
- "(set|change) [the] volume for {media_player} to {volume} [percent]"
lists:
media_player:
values:
- in: "living room"
out: "media_player.living_room"
- in: "bedroom"
out: "media_player.bedroom"
volume:
range:
from: 0
to: 100
{% endraw %}
As mentioned above, you can then use the intent_script
integration to implement an action and provide a response for SetVolume
:
{% raw %}
# Example configuration.yaml
intent_script:
SetVolume:
action:
service: "media_player.volume_set"
data:
entity_id: "{{ media_player }}"
volume_level: "{{ volume / 100.0 }}"
speech:
text: "Volume changed to {{ volume }}"
{% endraw %}
Customizing responses
Responses for existing intents can be customized as well in config/custom_sentences/<language>
:
{% raw %}
# Example config/custom_sentences/en/responses.yaml
language: "en"
responses:
intents:
HassTurnOn:
default: "I have turned on the {{ slots.name }}"
{% endraw %}
