So far I have tried to get it to read me my shoping list, turn on my desklight, and tell me how many hours until sundown. It wasn’t able to do any of those things. I’m using llama3.1:8b. I have a 3080 12gb. I also tried mixtral:8x7b but it just says “unexpected intent error”.
You may need to give your Assistant some tools.
Things like weather and time require the LLM to be able to fetch external data.
Yeah, how does this work? Do I need to setup the tools in home assistant or do I need setup tools with system prompt / modelfile on the ollama server? The ollama integration says the AI instructions use homeassiant templating. Do I need to create a custom template prompt that passes the info to the ollama server in way that works with the tools? https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/templating/
