Beginner - can't get TTS to work?

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

Hi all

Very new to HA and Node-RED. Been doing a lot of reading and am trying some super simple things.

I can’t get TTS to work in Node-RED. TTS works fine directly through HA, and the event (a z-wave motion sensor) updates its state fine in Note-RED, but I get this “extra keys not allowed” API error. I have tried different syntaxes and copied from others’ examples but no dice.

What am I doing wrong?

Using this syntax seems to work but the media device doesn’t respond:

Are you actually trying to use the google translate piece to translate, or just want TTS? if just TTS, I’d suggest using the CAST or notify node instead.

Here you can find a tts node with advanced features

  • caching notification audio message
  • restoring device inital volume after having played the notification
  • queueing notifications messages
  • important flag for notifications to be playing immediatly
