I was trying to get it to pause Pi-hole on request. I’m using Home Assistant Cloud (Nabu Casa) for speech to text, and have also got OpenAI plugged into it for if it doesn’t recognise a command. The screen shot is from the debug logs that I eventually found after struggling to work out why it wasn’t running my automation.

I’m using the new Home Assistant Voice Preview. Don’t get me wrong, overall very happy with it for the price point, but for some reason the cloud speech recognition (I believe powered by Google) is very good at understanding me until I start trying to talk about ad blocking.

    This is why, even though very convenient, you should never integrate your time machine with Home Assistant.

      Don’t worry, while I integrated my time machine with Home Assistant, it’s not exposed to the voice assistant so in theory it shouldn’t be able to send me back in time to stop Hitler.

        Are we concerned about changing the timeline or something? Why is the goal to not stop Hitler?

          Because then we would still have Stalin and the Red Alert scenario. Somehow I believe that would be worse.

          Oh shit this could well be a bootstrap paradox where I need to stop Hitler in order for me to be here in the future to go back to stop Hitler!
