Alexa, Nabucasa, TTS, etc etc

Hello all!

i have a question related to my HA installation.

I have this equipment:

  • Home Assistant 2022.11.5
  • Amazon Alexa Echo Dot
  • Active subscription with Nabucasa

I use Alexa for light, cover, etc

I would like to use Alexa also for TTS in order to play voice in my automations and so on…

i read a lot but i do not understand what is the best way to use TTS… sometime i read that I have to install HACS, but i do not understand if I have to use it if i do not have an active nabucasa subscription of not…

Could you explain me what is the best way for TTS for my equipment?

thanks a lot

The best way is to use Alexa Media Player. This is a custom component, which means you have to install it manually or through HACS, which is highly recommended.

Not sure if there are other options out there.

thanks a lot for fast feedback.

I installed HACS , did the integration and now TTS works as expected!

thanks!
