I also have the same issue even after reloading the add-on and the integration. Hfc_female shows available in the assistant settings but not under the Piper add-on.

[MJHeijster]

For me it wasn't working in the beginning, after a "Reboot system", it was all available and working for me.

[DrTechdom]

Piper update 1.5.0 seems to have fixed it

[thatso]

Yes, with the latest Piper 1.5.0 its available.
