Switch or button in Home Assistant to activate Assist in progress

[celodnb]

I really like the Wyoming satellites, as the accuracy (after some tuning), is close to other commercial offerings from Google and Amazon.

I've also been using some ESP based satellite, and on those I've managed to create a switch in HA, which can activate Assist in progress. This is really handy, as it makes it possible (for example, via an automation) to activate Assist with a smart button or something similar.

I'd love to have a similar switch for the Wyoming satellites, so I can activate assist without having to use a wake word, so please consider adding.

This would be great for automation with continued conversation type of things.

I agree, this feature would complete my transition away from commercial voice assistants. If we could trigger Wyoming sats from automations or node red, we would have actionable notifications, follow up questions, etc... Really important feature. Hope to see it soon.
