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.

      The problem is it seems to be different every time. Here’s my list so far:

      screen shot with list of different phrases - stop ad blocker, stop hit box, stop at locker, stop head blocking, and more, about 10 of them

          Maybe I misunderstood but it sounded like you just called me Australian 😲

              Not much difference!? Aussies are all Feesh and Cheeps and we’re more like Fush and Chups. They are all “Mate, can you get the goon bag out of the esky” and we’re more like “Bro, can ya grab us a brew from the chilly bin?”

              And if you ask for a tinnie you’ll get something quite different in NZ vs Australia.

              One time I was on a plane and the pilot was Australian. It took quite a while to work out the language he was speaking was English.

              Hard to get them mixed up 😋

        I’m really sorry you’re experiencing this but it’s at least a little funny how botched speech processing can still be.

        I don’t know enough to really help you, but good luck <3
