title: "Registering sentences"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The conversation component handles incoming commands from the frontend and converts them to intents. It does this based on registered sentences.
|
|
|
|
As a component, you can register sentences with the conversation component to allow it to be remote controlled. Refer to named slots by putting the slot name between curly braces: `{item}`. Use square brackets around (partial) words to mark them as optional.
|
|
|
|
Example code:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
async def async_setup(hass, config):
|
|
hass.components.conversation.async_register('MyCoolIntent', [
|
|
'I think that {object} is [very] cool',
|
|
'Nothing is cooler than {object}'
|
|
])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If a sentence like "I think that beer is cool" comes in, the conversation component will generate an intent of type `MyCoolIntent` and with 1 slot, named `object` and value `beer`.
