I have input_text.event_1
where the value is currently “birthday”, input_text.event_2
where the value is currently “christmas”, input_date.event_1
where the value is currently “1/1/2000”, and input_date.event_2
where the value is currently “12/25/2024”. How do I configure voice assistant to recognize a phrase like “what’s the date of birthday” and returns “1/1/2000”?
I’m guessing there’s some combination of templating and “lists”, but there are too many variables for me to continue guessing: conversations, intents, sentences, slots, lists, wildcards, yaml files…
I’ve tried variations of this in multiple files:
language: "en"
intents:
WhatsTheDateOf:
- "what's the date of {eventname}"
data:
- sentences:
- "what's the date of {eventname}"
lists:
eventname:
wildcard:
true
- "{{ states('input_text.event_1') }}"
- "{{ states('input_text.event_2') }}"
Should it be in conversations.yaml
, intent_scripts.yaml
, or a file in custom_sentences/en
? Or does the “lists” go in one file and “intents” go in another? In the intent, do I need to define my sentence twice?
I’d appreciate any help. I feel like once I see the yaml of a way that works, I’ll be able to examine it and understand how to make derivations work in the future.
That is HUGE! Thank you, @thegreekgeek@midwest.social! This makes customizing conversations from automations so much more powerful and flexible!
No problem! I’ve been puttering around trying to figure this out and this post gave me the push I needed lol
