convert the username

[fantnhu]

Hi! I am glad that you can attach username in the chat. Unfortunately this is not possible for us, because our name contains Hungarian (European) characters (etc.: István Pintér) If I turn it on, I get the following error:

Sorry, I had a problem talking to OpenAI: 'Pintér István' does not match '^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}$' - 'messages.1.name'

Is character encoding correct?

Thanks for your work! Happy New Year!

Thanks for reporting an issue!

Currently, it uses friendly_name of person entity to attach. I might have to change it to something else such as user_id.

Any suggestions are welcome.

@Teagan42 What's your thought? any ideas?

How about using entity_id? since any logged user have their own person entity and we commonly use friendly_name and entity_id in exposed_entities, I think using entity_id can reduce the steps OpenAI should figure out who the speaker is. All entity_id is written in common Alphabet.

And If we use entity_id, we might connect speaker recognition function to room presence functionality in near future.

That's a good idea. I worried that using user_id might make it hard to read for humans, but using entity_id will solve this problem! Thanks for your suggestion!

Sorry, didn't see this thread. I think the user's id and a function to retrieve the user's detail would be a better solution than the one I had implemented.

[jekalmin]

No problem! If we use entity_id (such as person.xxxxxx), retrieving users' detail will be possible through get_attributes function.

Sorry for being late, and it's released in 1.0.4. Please reopen the issue for further issues.
