It has 52 installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated October 21, 2026. Perplexity is a Marketplace integration that connects Home Assistant to Perplexity's cloud for conversation and AI tasks. It adds a conversation agent, marked beta, that can be chosen in a voice assistant, plus an AI Task platform for suggestions in the Home Assistant interface. Instead of picking a model, the agent uses Fast, Low, Medium or High presets built on the Perplexity Agent API, and each preset can be given an optional reasoning effort. The assistant can control entities exposed to Assist through the Assist API and read live entity states to answer questions about the home. It also handles timers and delayed commands on voice devices that support timers. Setup happens in the UI with a Perplexity API key, and a diagnostics file can be downloaded for bug reports.
