<summary>🌐 Potentially Compatible Providers</summary>
<summary>Potentially Compatible Providers</summary>
#### Flexible Provider Ecosystem
The integration is designed to be flexible and may work with other providers offering OpenAI-compatible APIs:
Other providers with OpenAI-compatible APIs may work through the custom endpoint option:
- Groq
- Together AI
- Perplexity AI
- Mistral AI
- Google AI
- Local AI servers (like Ollama)
- Local AI servers (like Ollama - enable **Allow Local Network** in the options)
- Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints
#### 🚨 Compatibility Notes
- Not all providers guarantee full compatibility
- Performance may vary between providers
- Check individual provider's documentation
- Ensure your API key has sufficient credits/quota
#### 🔍 Provider Compatibility Requirements
To be compatible, a provider should support:
- OpenAI-like REST API structure
- JSON request/response format
- Standard authentication method
- Similar model parameter handling
Compatibility is not guaranteed. A provider needs an OpenAI-like REST API with JSON request/response format, standard bearer authentication and similar parameter handling. Check the provider's documentation and make sure your API key has sufficient quota.

## 🛠️ Available Services
## Quick Start
### 🔄 Response Variables (New!)
After configuration you get one entity per instance, named `sensor.ha_text_ai_<name>`. It is a status sensor: it shows the last response and usage metrics, but you don't type questions into it. Questions go through the `ha_text_ai.ask_question` action, called from Developer Tools, automations, or scripts.
**HA Text AI now supports response variables** - a powerful feature that returns AI responses directly from service calls, eliminating the need for separate text sensors and the 255-character limitation!
### First question, no YAML
#### ✨ Key Benefits:
- **Unlimited response length** - No more 255-character truncation
- **Direct data access** - Get responses immediately in automations
- **Race condition prevention** - Eliminates conflicts in parallel automations
- **Simplified workflows** - No need to read from sensors
1. Open Developer Tools > Actions (called "Services" in older HA versions).
2. Search for "HA Text AI: Ask Question".
3. Pick your instance, type a question, press "Perform action".
4. The response appears below the form.
### In an automation
1. Go to Settings > Automations & scenes > Create automation.
2. Add a trigger: a button press, a time, a state change.
3. Add action > search "HA Text AI: Ask Question" > fill in the question and pick your instance.
4. To use the reply in a follow-up step, the action needs `response_variable: ai_response`. If the visual editor doesn't show a field for it, open the three-dot menu on that action, choose "Edit in YAML", and add the line at the end.
5. In the next action, `{{ ai_response.response_text }}` holds the full answer, for example as a notification message.
Complete working automations: [Automation Examples](#automation-examples-with-response-variables).
### On a dashboard
The sensor keeps the last question and answer as attributes, so a Markdown card can show them:
```yaml
type: markdown
content: >-
**Q:** {{ state_attr('sensor.ha_text_ai_my_assistant', 'question') }}
**A:** {{ state_attr('sensor.ha_text_ai_my_assistant', 'response') }}
```
The attributes fill in after the first question. They are capped at 2048 characters, so long answers come back complete only via `response_variable`.
## Available Services
### Response Variables
`ask_question` returns its result directly to the calling automation via `response_variable`. The full response text comes back regardless of length (no 255-character truncation), it is available immediately without polling sensor state, and each service call gets its own result, so parallel automations don't overwrite each other.
### ask_question
```yaml
service: ha_text_ai.ask_question

## 📘 FAQ
## FAQ
**Q: Which AI providers are supported?**
A: OpenAI (GPT models), Anthropic (Claude models), DeepSeek, Google Gemini, and OpenRouter are officially supported, with many other OpenAI-compatible providers working as well.
A: OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek and Google Gemini are built-in providers. OpenRouter and other OpenAI-compatible services work through the OpenAI provider with a custom endpoint.
**Q: How can I reduce API costs?**
A: Use gpt-5-mini or claude-haiku-4-5 for most queries, implement caching, and optimize token usage.
A: Use a cheap fast model (GPT-5.6 Luna, Claude Haiku 4.5, deepseek-v4-flash, gemini-3.5-flash) for routine queries, lower `context_messages`, and cap `max_tokens`.
**Q: Are there limitations on the number of requests?**
A: Depends on your API provider's plan. We recommend monitoring usage and implementing request throttling via `request_interval` configuration.
A: Depends on your API provider's plan. Monitor usage via the sensor attributes and throttle calls with the `request_interval` option.
**Q: Can I use custom models?**
A: Yes, you can configure custom endpoints and use any compatible model by specifying it in the configuration.
**Q: How do I switch between different AI providers?**
A: Simply change the model parameter in your configuration or service calls to use the desired provider's model.
A: Each integration instance is bound to one provider. Add a separate instance per provider and pick the instance in your service calls; within an instance you can override the model per request.
**Q: What are the token limits for different models?**
A: Token limits vary by provider and model. OpenAI's GPT-5 supports up to 1M context tokens, Claude Opus 4.6 supports up to 1M tokens, Gemini 3.1 Pro supports up to 1M tokens, while smaller models typically have 128K-200K limits. Check your provider's documentation for specific limits.
A: Context window sizes vary by provider and model - check your provider's documentation. The `max_tokens` option caps only the response length, not the context window.
**Q: How do I monitor token usage?**
A: Use the sensor attributes like `Total tokens`, `Prompt tokens`, and `Completion tokens` to track usage. You can also create automations to alert you when usage exceeds certain thresholds.
A: Use the sensor attributes `total_tokens`, `prompt_tokens` and `completion_tokens`. You can also create automations to alert you when usage exceeds a threshold.
**Q: Is my data secure?**
A: Yes, your data is secure. The system operates entirely on your local machine, keeping your data under your control. API keys are stored securely and all external communications use encrypted connections.
A: Conversation history and API keys are stored locally in your Home Assistant instance. Questions and context are sent to the provider you configure over HTTPS; nothing is shared with third parties beyond that provider.
**Q: How do context messages work?**
A: Context messages allow the AI to remember and reference previous conversation history. By default, 5 previous messages are included, but you can customize this from 1 to 20 messages to control the conversation depth and token usage.
A: Context messages let the AI reference previous conversation history. By default 5 previous messages are included; you can set 1 to 20 per request to balance conversation depth against token usage.
**Q: Where is conversation history stored?**
A: History is stored in files under the `.storage/ha_text_ai_history/` directory, with automatic rotation and size management.

A: Yes, archived history files are stored with timestamps and can be accessed manually if needed.
**Q: How much history is kept?**
A: By default, up to 50 conversations are stored (max 200), configurable via UI. Files are automatically rotated when they reach 1MB.
A: 50 conversations by default, configurable up to 100 in the UI. Files are automatically rotated when they reach 1MB.
