Intent Script

The intent_script integration allows users to configure actions and responses to intents. Intents can be fired by any integration that supports it. Examples are Alexa (Amazon Echo), Dialogflow (Google Assistant) and Snips.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
intent_script:
  GetTemperature:  # Intent type
    speech:
      text: We have {{ states.sensor.temperature }} degrees
    action:
      service: notify.notify
      data_template:
        message: Hello from an intent!
