Hello everyone,
I’ve setup the hass to a very decent level and now started playing with TTS. All my media_players are not google or anything. 1 is KODI, 1 is the TV and 1 is MPD(mopidy) which snapcasts to some devices.
I only care about the MPD to use TTS, but the problem is that mpd is my main radio streamer and it’s used many hours throughout the day, so having a tts break the stream and having manually to restart it, is a nuissance.
What I want to do (if it’s doable) is to keep the stream before TTS if it was playing and restart it after the TTS. Something like this:
- id: tempwarning
alias: Play TTS and keep previous stream
trigger:
- platform: sensor
entity_id: sensor.0x00158d00036b744d_temperature
above: 28
action:
- service: tts.google_say
data_template: >
{% if is_state('media_player.mpd', 'playing') %}
#somehow keep the stream as it has a state "media_content_id"
#also have another that stores like a 1 or 0 to check later if the mpd was playing
entity_id: media_player.mpd
message: "The temperature has risen! Turn on the A/C"
{% else %}
service: tts.google_say
entity_id: media_player.mpd
message: "The temperature has risen! Turn on the A/C"
{% endif %}
- service_template: >
{% if PREVIOUS CHECK WAS 1, which means it was playing %}
media_extractor.play_media
{% endif %}
data:
entity_id: media_player.mpd
media_content_id: "VARIABLE FROM PREVIOUS STATE"
media_content_type: "music" #or we could get that too, don't care really as I only stream radio
Don’t mind the suntax errors, I will fix them if there’s a solution for that.
Anyone?
