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.

Literally could not get anything but Rush. And I have zero Rush in my library.
Maybe you should give them a try. Signals is a really approachable starting point, IMO, but 2112 is a better hard sell.
Just don’t listen to Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, or Presto until you’re heard their hard prog stuff. I like those albums, too, but things got a little weird when Getty went hard in the synths.
