"Turn off the lights" gives unexpected error with Home Assistant Voice PE

[michaelblight]

The problem

I'm on HAOS 2024.12.5 so I expect Year Of The Voice Chapter 5 applies. I received my Voice PE and set the device area to be Kitchen. When I say "turn off the lights", it's saying "Unexpected error" and the log is below.

I'm getting the same error if I say "turn off the lights in the lounge".

Note that in this example I have OpenAI configured but it was processed locally (using the fallback capability introduced in 2024.12). I get the same error using the HA conversation agent (see below).

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.12.5
