I have the below Home Assistant script which is accessible via Alexa and Google platforms via Nabu Casa:
alias: Where is Daddy
sequence:
- data_template:
data:
type: announce
message: Daddy is at {{states('sensor.sm_g781v_2_geocoded_location')}}.
target: media_player.mka_net_echo_dot
service: notify.alexa_media
mode: single
icon: mdi:map-marker-radius
I am, able to say “Where is Daddy” on any of my Alexa or Google devices; and, get a respective voice response. However, the problem is that it will only announce the response on only a specific hard-coded target: media_player.mka_net_echo_dot; which isn’t very useful if I’m in a different room.
QUESTION: Is it possible for the script to capture what platform\device the script is executed on in a variable; then execute a respective announcement/response on the same platform\device? Or, possibly a different method?
If it is currently impossible to do, is it feasible to add a feature like this? Maybe with all the new assistant features being added, this may be possible soon?
