I’ve got HA Voice and a RM3 mini IR remote both working as expected. I have learned custom IR buttons to open/close shades, created open/close scripts that work, and added buttons that call the scripts in the UI. Everything works. HA Voice works for mundane things like lights.
Now I want it to open and close the shades, but every attempt has been defeated. I even added sentence automations tied to the words “open shades” and “close shades” and linked them to the scripts. They test fine, but when I speak to HA Voice and say those words, it tells me it can’t find the shades in the room where I’m located.
So I tried deleted the location from the scripts/entities. No luck. I placed the scripts in the room where I’m located (with the HA Voice). Also failed.
I tried “shades open” and “shades closed”. Then HA Voice tells me it doesn’t understand.
Oh, and I also “exposed” the scripts to the voice assistant through the UI and even added “aliases” to those phrases.
And I’ve run out of ideas at this point. Seems like this should be a lot simpler.
