AutoVoice Can't get English Natural Language Task working from Google Assistant

Hi,

First - thank you SO much for all your awesome products. Android wouldn't be half what it is without you.

Alas, I've been struggling for a couple of days to get a Natural Language Command working from Google Assistant - I'm guessing I'm probably missing something simple, but I can't seem to find what. If this is related to the sticky on this forum (from 2019-10-26) - my apologies - my impression from the reddit post (2019-10-31) was that this problem was fixed, for English at least - though why wasn't this sticky updated... I'm confused. If the IFTTT solution was required, would the sticky here say that? Anyway - I've tried to understand, and *think* it should be working now, hence my question.

I've got a Profile with a basic task thus:

Profile: Find Songs By Artist (72)
Restore: no
Event: AutoVoice Natural Language [ Configuration:Commands: find songs by artist ]
Enter: Find Songs By Artist (73)
A1: Flash [ Text:Searching for songs by %artist Long:Off ]

and a natural language intent thus:

}
],
"webhookForSlotFilling": false,

}

I set up a dialogflow account and got the v1 and v2 methods working I believe - it says "Access tokens verified!" when I click accept in setup.

When I run a Test Command, of "find songs by Cake" it works, and I hear the response.

But when I say "Ok Google, ask AutoVoice to find songs by cake", AutoVoice appears to be called, saying
"Command sent: find songs by cake", then it writes
"AutoVoice has left the conversation", without triggering anything. I don't hear the response from Autovoice, and the Flash in my tasker profile doesn't show up.

Here's logs from AutoVoice:

I'd be tremendously grateful if you could tell me what I'm missing here! Ah... one thought - I'm set up for English (Australian) - but I just tried switching to English (United States) but the result was the same.

Thank you,
John

 

Ah Thanks, that might well be the issue.

I was a bit confused by that one actually - I tried selecting it, but it said "This will enable you to use all your natural language commands on the Amazon Echo and Google Home." But I don't have either of those devices, so I wasn't sure that I still needed to do this.

Also, it talked about deleting my "normal" commands from under AutoVoice -> Personal Assistant - but when I went in there, it flashed up a screen "Assistant on Phone" which appeared to be about making AutoVoice replace Google Assistant, which I didn't want to do.

Combining the confusion from the above, with the need for a subscription, was enough to make me back out again. (Oh - and I purchased AutoShare last week, primarily to support you, since whilst it looked like it might be useful, thus far I've simply sent intents from Tasker - so this was another nudge not to subscribe right now.)

As you can see from my code above, it's a rather simple query, which I later got working via an AutoVoice Recognized command.

Anyway - thank you. I get a bit confused by Google Assistant vs Google Now vs Google Home vs AutoVoice Recognized, nor am I particularly clear on just how clever Natural Language is and how much I need it over a standard Recognized command.

But hopefully soon I can sit down with your 7 day trial subscription and test things out more.

Thanks very much for the clarification!
