hey guys, i have a problem, i cannot get alexa to say absolutely anything. i have tried all sorts looking on the net and its all talking Chinese and i got no idea whats its talking about. i have updated HA hoping it would fix the issue but to no success.
im really no good with yaml so if possible, it needs to be explain as if a 5 year old can understand lol
HA version is 2022.8.0
getting really frustrated, i’m trying everything that i can see on the net and i either hit a wall due to not knowing what they on about or it just don’t work
This works for me, go to developer tools->services and then below the input boxes is a “go to yaml mode” Then paste in below, change the notify service to the appropriate name
service: notify.alexa_media_family_room_dot
data:
message: hi there
data:
type: tts
I too, have had some on and off issues with TTS and Alexa… Automations that previously worked, all of a sudden didn’t. For whatever reason, deleting and recreating the service request in the automation got them working again. Didn’t make any changes, just recreated them.
