"what is temperature in <area>" not being recognised by HassClimateGetTemperature

[brewston]

The problem

I have multiple areas with climate entities. On any of them, if I ask "what is temperature in [area]" (either via speech or typing in web assist box) I get a response "Temperature is" without actually reporting the temperature.

however if I ask "what is temp in [area]" I get the desired response.

Checking in developer tools, I can see that the 1st one invokes HassGetState whereas the 2nd, working, one invokes HassClimateGetTemperature (Which i imagine is what you would expect for a climate device)

Strangely, "what is [area] temperature" invokes HassClimateGetTemperature and works..

This looks similar to OHF-Voice/intents#1351 but that was logged under intents and it was suggested on discord that this might be a core problem.

The expansion rules https://github.com/home-assistant/intents/blob/a792e9c0ae90d5edea056ad4bc3641190903afcd/sentences/en/_common.yaml#L296 look to me like temp and temperature ought to be interchangeable.

In all cases where area is an area that has a climate device
eg. What is the temp in hall works correctly and returns 17.7 degrees but What is the temperature in hall fails and returns Temperature is

The cases where area is an area that does not have a climate device it fails in an unclean manner
eg. What is the temp in kitchen returns An unexpected error occurred while handling the intent

My understanding is they're only supporting climate temperature entities right now (while they figure out how to disambiguate bogus area temperatures sensors such as CPU core temperatures entities)

FWIW - I think temp is not a real English language word but rather crude short hand. Sure we know what it means in this context but do people (English first language) really use it when asking anyone what the temperature is? I think never.
