Ava integrates with the paid Tasker app to support automations. We will be tracking use cases and progress on this issue.
You can also use the Home Assistant Plug-In for Tasker to query the voice assistant state via the Home Assistant server.
Note
The project will not provide general support for Tasker. You should check out their website and
the r/tasker subreddit for support.
- Wake up satellite: plays the wake sound (if enabled) and listens to voice commands as if the wake word was detected.
- Stop ringing: stops the timer ringing sound, as if "stop" was said.
The Ava Activity state can be used to trigger tasks when the voice satellite enters or exits
specific states:
- A conversation is happening (listening, thinking, replying)
- Voice timers are active (ringing, running, paused)
This example profile turns the screen on when conversing and when timers are running or ringing (but ignores paused timers).
Important
Tasker only runs tasks when the desired state is achieved, but not when the reason for this state change (for example timer running -> ringing). For this, you have to setup several profiles with different conditions.
