Hi all,
Currently running Home Assistant via a docker image hosted on CentOS 7 - and this works really well thus far. To date I have been been able to configure zones, proximity and a few scripts (called via Amazon Echo) to perform actions such as turn on the radio in the kitchen. The radio in the kitchen is serviced via a Yamaha amplifier (zone 2) and switched via changing the source to ‘NET RADIO’. This all works as expected
What I am looking to do is expand this with TTS - firstly just with a sample:
script:
tts_test:
alias: tts test
sequence:
- service: media_player.turn_on
entity_id: media_player.rxa3040_zone_2
- service: tts.google_say
entity_id: media_player.rxa3040_zone_2
data:
message: 'Hello testing. Testing.'
I have also configured base_url: with the local IP address of the system, however I am not port forwarding anything external -> internal currently.
When I run the TTS test script, I am not getting anything come through the speakers at all - so I am wondering if someone can help with the following:
- For a CentOS 7 Minimal Installation / Docker install, should there be any additional packages that need to be installed (for CentOS itself - some media packages maybe?) for TTS to work?
- Should I be setting the media player to a specific source to receive the TTS mp3 data?
- Is there any way to debug this to get more detailed information - I am not seeing any errors when running the script - so I ‘assume’ its working but dont know where to check to see where it is breaking.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
