Speech-first automations: contextual announcements, stats briefings, guest mode overrides, and alert handling routed through the speech/notify engines.

File Why it matters
YAML source: announcements Family and tracked Life360 arrival greetings plus daily/occasional broadcast messages.
YAML source: home_stats Voice summary of house status and interesting stats.
YAML source: guest_mode Adjust announcements and behaviors while guests are over.
YAML source: High_Wind_Speed_Check Warn about severe wind before it causes issues.

Tips

  • Pairs with script/speech_engine.yaml and templates/speech/briefing.yaml for reusable phrasing.
  • Keep announcements natural and action-first; the LLM prompt should avoid previous-message repetition and include weather when requested, safety-relevant, or still useful before late-day context takes over.
  • Airly's nearest-monitor CAQI is the primary local reading and stays silent below medium (50); Pirate Weather US AQI is a safety backstop at 101 or higher. Normal readings are never added to speech.
  • Briefing context includes quiet-by-default Tesla, energy, water, comfort, and vacuum checks so routine announcements stay useful without repeating normal status.

All of my configuration files are tested against the most stable version of home-assistant.
