Voice Control
WristAssistant works with Home Assistant Assist. Speak to your watch to control devices or ask questions. Assist is very literal — you need to say the exact entity names as they appear in Home Assistant for it to understand you.

Examples:
- “Turn off the living room lights”
- “Set the thermostat to 72”
- “Is the garage door open?”
- “Lock all doors”
Trigger voice input from a quick action slot, the app menu, or a watch face complication.
Quick Phrases
Section titled “Quick Phrases”Set up to 8 tappable shortcuts on the voice screen for things you say often. Tap instead of dictating each time. Configure them in Settings → Voice.
Examples: “Turn off all lights”, “Lock the front door”, “Set thermostat to 72”, “Good night”.
TTS Quick Actions
Section titled “TTS Quick Actions”Add a text-to-speech action to any tile’s quick action menu. Long-press, slide to the megaphone, and your message plays on the speaker you’ve chosen. Set your TTS engine and default speakers in Settings → Voice.
Examples: “Dinner’s ready” on the kitchen speaker, “Time for bed” on the kids’ room speaker.
Voice Broadcast
Section titled “Voice Broadcast”Record a live voice message directly from your watch and play it on your Home Assistant speakers. Instead of typing a pre-set phrase, just talk — your voice gets broadcast to whichever speakers you choose.
Add a Broadcast slot to any tile’s quick action menu. Long-press, slide to the broadcast icon, speak your message, and it plays throughout the house.
You can also control devices through Siri without opening the app. See Siri Shortcuts for details on what voice commands are available.
In Settings → Voice, pick your TTS engine (Google Translate, Piper, etc.) and default speakers. You can override the defaults per TTS quick action if you want different speakers for different tiles.
