- Each instance has its own history file (JSON)
- Files are automatically rotated when size limit is reached
- Archived history files are timestamped
- Default maximum file size: 1MB
- Always check attribute existence
- Use these attributes for monitoring and automation
- Some values might be 0 or empty initially
Q: Which AI providers are supported? A: Currently OpenAI (GPT models) and Anthropic (Claude models) are supported, with more providers planned.
Q: How can I reduce API costs? A: Use GPT-3.5-Turbo or Claude-3-Sonnet for most queries, implement caching, and optimize token usage.
Q: Are there limitations on the number of requests?
A: Depends on your API provider's plan. We recommend monitoring usage and implementing request throttling via request_interval configuration.
Q: Can I use custom models? A: Yes, you can configure custom endpoints and use any compatible model by specifying it in the configuration.
Q: How do I switch between different AI providers? A: Simply change the model parameter in your configuration or service calls to use the desired provider's model.
Q: How can I reduce API costs? A: Use GPT-3.5-Turbo for most queries, implement caching, and optimize token usage.
Q: Is my data secure? A: Yes, your data is secure. The system operates entirely on your local machine, keeping your data under your control. API keys are stored securely and all external communications use encrypted connections.
Q: How do context messages work? A: Context messages allow the AI to remember and reference previous conversation history. By default, 5 previous messages are included, but you can customize this from 1 to 20 messages to control the conversation depth and token usage.
Q: Where is conversation history stored?
A: History is stored in files under the .storage/ha_text_ai_history/ directory, with automatic rotation and size management.
Q: Can I access old conversation history?
A: Yes, archived history files are stored with timestamps and can be accessed manually if needed.
Q: How much history is kept?
A: By default, up to 100 conversations are stored, but this can be configured. Files are automatically rotated when they reach 1MB.
