Custom Sentences

Custom sentences are used to control the View Assist device. For more information, see https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/custom_sentences/ These custom sentences can be added as a 'normal' automation using the Home Assistant web interface.

Here is an example custom sentence that changes the current view to the weather view:

alias: ASSIST - Weather example
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: conversation
    command:
      - How's the weather
    id: weather
condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - weather
        sequence:
          - set_conversation_response: >-
              Its {{ state_attr('weather.home', 'temperature') }} degrees and
              {{states.weather.home.state}}
          - service: browser_mod.navigate
            metadata: {}
            data:
              path: /dashboard-tablet/weather
            target:
              entity_id: sensor.tabletfullkiosk_browser_path

Note the service call for browser_mod.navigate This is the mechanism used to change the view of the target entity by sending the path of the particular view we want to show.
