Start Conversation with TTS and start listening

Help
#1

I would like to start a conversation triggerd from the home automation system.
To achieve this:
1.)A message is published to hermes/tts/say
2.)After a short delay
3.)Rhasspy is waked up by publishing a message to hermes/hotword/porcupine/detected.
4.)A Session is started and an answer/Intent can be spoken

I am not really happy with the achived behavior since 4.) accepts all intents (no intent filter) and the command sequence poorly/not synchronised.

Is there a better way to achive that?

Eg. something like a command startSessionAndWakeUp (with parameters text, intentFilter, …).

Can someone give me a few tips on this? Thanks!

1,2 and 3 can be replaced by publishing to hermes/dialogueManager/startSession
The message should contain init and siteID,

{"init":
   {
     "type":"action",
     "canBeEnqueued": false
    },
    "siteId":"default"
   }

The init object also has a intentFilter, which you can use.

See this documentation:

Yes that works! Thank you very much for pointing me at this. I overlooked the passage with the type=action for the startSession command. I already tried that command before but only with type=notification…

I am trying to do the same thing but i am stuck with the intent fillter. Could someone give me an example please. Here is my function what goes with intentFilter: is it the name of the intent or much more?

def startSession(cclient,intentName,saytxt):

cclient.publish("hermes/dialogueManager/startSession",

json.dumps(

    { 'init':

        {

        'type':'action',

        'canBeEnqueued': false,

        'text':saytxt,

        'intentFilter':intentName

        },

        'siteId':'default'

    }

    ))

For me this example is working:
{
“init”:
{
“text” : “Question”,
“type”: “action”,
“canBeEnqueued”: false,
“intentFilter”: [“PossibleAnswers”]
},
“siteId”: “satelitte”,
“customData”:null,
“lang”:null
}

Look how the square brackets are used in the example for the intent filter.
