Thanks, @thegreekgeek. I didn’t know you could use special sentence syntax in automations. That’s pretty helpful because an action can be conditional, and I think you can even make them conditional based on which specific trigger fired the automation.
It still seems odd that I’d have to make separate automations for each helper I want to address (or separate automation conditions for each), as opposed to having the spoken command have a “variable” and then use that variable to determine which input help to return the value of. But if that’s possible, maybe it’s just beyond my skill level.
