Built-in intents

An intent is what a sentence means, in a form Home Assistant can act on. This page lists every intent that has sentences in the intents repository, and so can be spoken in every language that covers it.

The source of this list is intents.yaml in the intents repository. This is the one full list on this site. The code that handles the intents lives in Home Assistant Core: built-in intents in Core shows where each handler lives, and intents explains how to write a handler or fire intents from your own code.

Each intent lists:

• Slots: the pieces of information a sentence can fill in, like the name of a device or the area it is in. A slot marked as required must be filled for the intent to work.
• Response variables: extra values a response template can use, besides slots. See responses.
• Slot combinations: the sets of slots a sentence can fill, each with an English example. Sentences and tests are organized per slot combination. "Satellite area" means the area is not spoken: it comes from the voice satellite that heard the sentence.

The importance of a slot combination says how much a language needs it: required (the bare minimum, validation fails without it), usable (what people expect), complete (needed for full coverage), or optional (extra). For combinations that target entities by name or by an inferred domain, importance is set per entity domain. The table shows the highest level of any of its domains. intents.yaml has the full detail.

name, area, and floor are filled from what exists in the user's Home Assistant: the names of their exposed entities, their areas, and their floors.

Home Assistant registers a few more intents that have no sentences in the intents repository. You cannot say them to the built-in conversation agent, but code can still fire them. Some are also offered as tools to conversation agents that use an AI model. Do not add sentences for them to the intents repository: intents.yaml does not list them.
