Voice Assistant Conversations

Показать описание
Home Assistant just got a big upgrade in the April release – the Voice Assistant Preview Edition now supports actual conversations.

In this video, I’ll show you a new feature that lets Home Assistant not only speak to you, but also listen for your response – without needing to say the wake word again. This means your automations can now include interactive prompts that lead to real-time voice-controlled actions.

I’ll walk you through a real-world example: Home Assistant notifies me that the gate’s been open for 5 minutes and asks if I want to close it. I reply "yes" – and boom, the gate closes. No tricks, no edits, no extra wake words in between.

We’ll go hands-on with the new Start Conversation action, test it in Developer Tools, and update an existing automation to use it. If you’ve been using the Announce action, you’ll see how easy it is to switch.

This is perfect for anyone using the Voice Assistant in Home Assistant and looking to make their automations smarter, faster, and way more natural.

If that sounds like something you could use in your setup – stick around.

Thanks for another great video. I love this option. I am just getting ready to start using the voice assistant option . I have a PE device also.

Zkoušel jsem akci Assist satellite: Start conversation ale nejde mi zvolit HA PE satelit. Díval jsem se, že nejsem sám kdo má tento problém. Máte nějakou beta verzi firmwaru nebo tak něco? OpenAI ani Google genai měnit nepomáhá. Děkuji za odpověď.

Thanks for the video, I’m having an issue with prompt, if I answer with No it’s still triggering the action, are you having this issue
