What it is and what it does
Home Assistant Intents is a data package that supplies intent definitions and recognition patterns for Home Assistant's voice automation system. It wraps the upstream intents repository and packages it for distribution via PyPI, allowing Home Assistant installations to access standardized natural language intent mappings for voice commands.
The package has no runtime dependencies and is designed as a lightweight data distribution mechanism. It uses a calendar-based versioning scheme (YYYY.M.D) and maintains a git submodule link to the upstream intents repository, ensuring version alignment between the package and the underlying intent definitions. Releases are automated via GitHub Actions with trusted publishing.
Use it for
- Enable Home Assistant voice assistants to recognize and classify spoken commands into structured intents.
- Provide multilingual intent data for voice automation across different locales and languages.
- Support custom voice automation workflows by supplying standardized intent patterns and entity types.
- Integrate with Home Assistant's natural language understanding pipeline for smart home voice control.
