Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 11 hours agoMy hope is that I can use custom sentences to send values to a script or service that, in-turn, will trigger an appdaemon app where I can do all the work in python. I’m not sure about returning the calculated value as a response though.
That’s how I built my harmony hub replacement.

Home assistant has an automation event that lets you set the conversation result, but you’ve already passed my ability haha so I can’t tell you how to pull the result in from an external service.
It may well be worth building it as a home assistant integration rather than just custom sentence triggered automations.

Yeah, I hadn’t really considered writing an integration but this is more general purpose than my universal remote.

Well if you do, contribute it to home assistant and I’ll install it 😆, it’s actually a little surprising conversions aren’t supported natively but I guess there is a lot to cover and they will get there eventually.
