# 🎤 Voice Command Execution - Quick Reference
## Summary
✅ **5 Major Components Implemented:**
1. **Pattern-Based Parser** - Fast, rule-based command parsing
2. **AI Parser (Optional)** - Claude-powered NLP for complex commands
3. **Command Executor** - Executes parsed commands via Home Assistant
4. **Session Manager** - Tracks context, history, multi-turn conversations
5. **Event Wiring** - Connects speech events to MCP tools

## Architecture: Audio → Command → Action
```
Wyoming Fast-Whisper Parser Executor
Openwakeword → (speech-to-text) → (NLP) → (Home Assistant)

## Tools Available (MCP Calls)
### 1. Pattern Parser
```python
# Fast, rule-based parsing
tool: "voice_command_parser"
input: {
"transcription": "turn on the bedroom light",
"context": {
"room": "bedroom",
"available_entities": ["light.bedroom"]
}
}
# Returns: intent, action, target, confidence score
```
### 2. AI Parser (Optional - requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
```python
# Intelligent, context-aware parsing
tool: "voice_command_ai_parser"
input: {
"transcription": "make it warmer",
"context": {
"room": "bedroom",
"last_commands": ["set temperature to 20"]
},
"use_ai": true
}
# Returns: intent, parameters, reasoning from Claude
```
### 3. Command Executor
```python
# Execute parsed commands
tool: "voice_command_executor"
input: {
"intent": "turn_on",
"action": "turn_on",
"target": "bedroom light",
"parameters": {}
}
# Returns: success status, message, state changes
```
---
## Supported Intents
| Intent | Example | Domain |
|--------|---------|--------|
| `turn_on` / `turn_off` | "Turn on the light" | light, switch |
| `set_brightness` | "Set brightness to 50%" | light |
| `set_color` | "Make it blue" | light |
| `set_temperature` | "Set temp to 22°" | climate |
| `open_cover` / `close_cover` | "Open the blinds" | cover |
| `lock_door` / `unlock_door` | "Lock the door" | lock |
| `start_vacuum` / `stop_vacuum` | "Clean the house" | vacuum |
| `send_notification` | "Alert me" | notify |
---
## Session Management
### Start a Session
```typescript
const sessionId = voiceSessionManager.startSession("bedroom");
```
### Add Commands to Session
```typescript
voiceSessionManager.addCommand({
transcription: "turn on the light",
intent: "turn_on",
success: true
});
```
### Get Context (for follow-up commands)
```typescript
const context = voiceSessionManager.getContext();
// Returns: room, recent entities, command history
```
### Track Command History
```typescript
const history = voiceSessionManager.getCommandHistory(sessionId, 10);
// Last 10 commands with timestamps and results
```
### End Session
```typescript
voiceSessionManager.endSession(sessionId);
```
---
## Event Flow
### Events Emitted by Speech Service
```typescript
const events = speechService.getEventEmitter();
// When wake word detected
events.on("wake_word_detected", (event) => {
// Creates new voice session
});
// When transcription received
events.on("transcription_complete", (data) => {
// data.transcription: "turn on the light"
// data.sessionId: "voice_1731326400000_..."
});
// During transcription
events.on("transcription_start", () => {
// Processing started
});
// If error occurs
events.on("speech_error", (error) => {
// Handle error
});
// Service ready
events.on("service_initialized", () => {
// Speech service is ready
});
```

## Complete Voice Flow Example
```typescript
// 1. WAKE WORD DETECTED
// Wyoming detects "Hey Jarvis"
// → Creates new voice session
// 2. AUDIO CAPTURED
// Fast-Whisper transcribes: "turn on the bedroom light to 50 percent"
// → Session context updated
// 3. PARSE COMMAND (Choose one)
// Option A: Fast pattern matching (< 10ms)
const parsed = await voiceCommandParser.execute({
transcription: "turn on the bedroom light to 50 percent"
});
// Returns: intent="turn_on", action="turn_on", target="bedroom light",
// parameters={brightness: 128}
// Option B: Smart AI parsing (requires Claude API)
const parsed = await voiceCommandAIParser.execute({
transcription: "turn on the bedroom light to 50 percent",
context: { room: "bedroom" }
});
// Returns: More flexible, handles variations
// 4. EXECUTE COMMAND
const result = await voiceCommandExecutor.execute({
intent: "turn_on",
action: "turn_on",
target: "bedroom light",
parameters: { brightness: 128 }
});
// Returns: {
// success: true,
// target: "light.bedroom",
// message: "Successfully turned on light.bedroom"
// }
// 5. SESSION UPDATED
// - Command logged to history
// - Recent entities tracked: ["bedroom", "light"]
// - Ready for follow-up: "Make it brighter" → context available
```
