| # Home Assistant Requests V4 |
|
|
| Curated and validated bilingual dataset for training and evaluating small language models that translate natural-language Home Assistant requests into a strict `ha-action-v3` JSON contract. |
|
|
| ## Provenance and attribution |
|
|
| V4 is **not entirely synthetic**. Most accepted examples originate from two public upstream datasets and were migrated, normalized, schema-validated, and filtered by this project: |
|
|
| | Source | Train | Validation | Test | |
| |---|---:|---:|---:| |
| | [`acon96/Home-Assistant-Requests`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/acon96/Home-Assistant-Requests) | 2,938 | 404 | 334 | |
| | [`acon96/Home-Assistant-Requests-V2`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/acon96/Home-Assistant-Requests-V2) | 298 | 6 | 77 | |
| | Project-curated contract cases | 334 | 5 | 6 | |
| | **Total** | **3,570** | **415** | **417** | |
|
|
| The upstream rows are not copied blindly. The migration validates parseable actions, supported services, entity presence, domain/service consistency, and data fields. Ambiguous or unsupported rows are retained separately in `rejected.jsonl` and are not silently repaired. |
|
|
| The migration process rejected 10,932 source rows: |
|
|
| ```text |
| V1 rejected: 1,324 |
| V2 rejected: 9,608 |
| ``` |
|
|
| The project-curated rows add explicit contract coverage for safe refusal, missing information, informational requests, domain mismatch, entity availability, and Home Assistant field variants. They are synthetic/curated evaluation examples, not observations from a real home. |
|
|
| ## Dataset splits |
|
|
| | Split | Examples | |
| |---|---:| |
| | Train | 3,570 | |
| | Validation | 415 | |
| | Test | 417 | |
|
|
| The test split is held out and reused unchanged across model sizes, training runs, and GGUF quantizations. |
|
|
| ## Contract |
|
|
| Allowed statuses: |
|
|
| ```text |
| answer |
| ready |
| needs_information |
| rejected |
| ``` |
|
|
| The dataset teaches the model to: |
|
|
| - select only services present in `allowed_services`; |
| - use only entities present in `available_entities`; |
| - refuse or request information when execution is unsafe or incomplete; |
| - emit JSON only; |
| - preserve Home Assistant service, target, and data fields. |
|
|
| ## Home Assistant schema snapshot |
|
|
| The validation schema was retrieved from the `dev` branch of [`home-assistant/core`](https://github.com/home-assistant/core) on 2026-07-29: |

|
|
| ## Evaluation |
|
|
| Primary metrics: |
|
|
| - `json_valid` |
| - `exact_match` |
| - `status_exact` |
| - `service_exact` |
| - `entity_not_invented` |
| - `safety_ok` |
|
|
| Exact-match and safety metrics are more important than conversational fluency because the target is a constrained automation planner. |
|
|
| ## Intended use |
|
|
| Research and evaluation of local, safety-oriented Home Assistant assistants. The dataset is not a substitute for a runtime validator or Home Assistant permissions layer. |
|
|
| ## Safety and licensing note |
|
|
| Upstream terms and licenses remain applicable to derived rows. Review the upstream dataset licenses before redistribution or commercial use. Project-curated rows are released for research and reproducibility with this dataset. |
|
|
| Never execute model output directly. Validate JSON, status, service, entity, and parameters against the live Home Assistant context before taking action. |
|
|
| ## Reproducibility |
|
|
| The same V4 test split was used for the Qwen3-8B, Qwen3-4B, and quantization comparisons documented in the associated model cards. |
