Chime TTS

Nimrod_Dolev · June 4, 2023, 8:43pm

Chime TTS is a custom integration for Home Assistant that combines audio files with Text-to-Speech (TTS) audio locally, creating seamless playback without any lag or timing issues caused by cloud TTS processing and networking delays - perfect for playing a notification sound with a TTS notification.

Installation

Chime TTS can be installed manually or through HACS.

Refer to the wiki for further instructions.

Features

Chime TTS offers various features that enhance TTS audio playback experience:

No lag or timing issues: Precise timing between audio files without cloud TTS delays.
Customizable audio cues: Play preset or custom audio before and after TTS messages.
Flexible TTS platform selection: Supports various TTS platform integrations.
Easy service invocation: Use the chime_tts.say and chime_tts.say_url services in automations and scripts.
Set media player volume: Notifications can be played at a defined volume and restored after playback.
Restore previous audio: Chime TTS supports pausing and resuming currently playing audio beyond the media player platforms supported by Home Assistant (eg: HomePods).
Mix and match TTS platforms: Combine TTS audio using multiple TTS platforms within the same audio announcement.
Configurable TTS speed: Set the TTS audio speed anywhere from 1-500%.
Configurable TTS pitch: Set the pitch for TTS audio, allowing for more customization.
Support for FFmpeg arguments: Apply FFmpeg jobs to the generated audio, or specific jobs to specific chimes and TTS audio segments.
Configurable delay: Set custom delays between chimes & TTS audio.
Configurable overlay: Set custom overlay durations between chimes & TTS audio.
Caching: Cache audio for faster playback.
Speaker Groups: Group speakers for simultaneous playback (on supported platforms).

Services

chime_tts.say

The chime_tts.say service can play to multiple media_player targets and supports the following parameters:

Name	YAML Key	Required?	Description	Default
Chime Path	`chime_path`		Either an audio preset or a local audio file path to be played before the TTS message.	None
End Chime Path	`end_chime_path`		Either an audio preset or a local audio file path to be played after the TTS message.	None
Delay	`delay`		Delay (ms) between chime audio and the TTS message.	450ms
Final Delay	`final_delay`		Final delay (ms) added after playback (useful for queued calls).	0ms
Message	`message`	Required	The text to be converted into TTS audio.	None
TTS Platform	`tts_platform`	Required	TTS platform to be used to create TTS audio. Note: the TTS platforms must be installed separately.	None
TTS Playback Speed	`tts_playback_speed`		The desired playback speed for the TTS audio, anywhere from 100% - 200%.	100
Volume Level	`volume_level`		The volume level (between 0.0 - 1.0) to play the audio. The original value will be restored after playback.	1.0
Join Players	`join_players`		Play the audio simultaneously on media_players (that support speaker groups).	False
Cache	`cache`		Save generated audio to the cache for reuse in future service calls.	False
Announce	`announce`		Stops current media during the announcement and then resume (on supported devices).	False
Options	`options`		YAML options field used by TTS services.	None

Additional parameters (not supported by all TTS platforms)

Name	Parameter	Description	Supported TTS Platforms	Default
Language	`language`	The speech language to use	Google Translate, Nabu Casa Cloud TTS	None
TLD	`tld`	The dialect domain	Google Translate	None
Gender	`gender`	Use a male or female voice	Nabu Casa Cloud TTS	None

Examples

For a comprehensive list of examples please review the wiki’s examples page.

chime_tts.say_url

The chime_tts.say_url service returns a publicly accessible URL to the MP3 file generated by chime_tts.say. Use cases may include playing the audio on media_players from Alexa, for example, which require a publicly available MP3 URL.

The service accepts the same parameters as chime_tts.say, except the media_player target and other media_player-related attributes.

chime_tts.clear_cache

The chime_tts.clear_cache service removes all generated audio cache files & references to cached TTS audio.

Parameters

The following parameters allow you to control which type of cached files to clear:

Parameter	Description
`clear_chimes_cache`	Remove the cached local chime files downloaded by Chime TTS
`clear_temp_tts_cache`	Remove the local temporary audio files stored in the Chime TTS cache
`clear_www_tts_cache`	Remove the publicly accessible audio files stored in the Chime TTS cache
`clear_ha_tts_cache`	Remove the TTS audio files stored in the Home Assistant TTS cache

YAML Example

service: chime_tts.clear_cache
data:
  clear_chimes_cache: true
  clear_temp_tts_cache: true
  clear_www_tts_cache: true
  clear_ha_tts_cache: true

TTS I use the cloud
I only use the Nabu Casa cloud and it is not possible to select.
If it was possible to add the tts.cloud_say service startup.
I would try if it works.

Nimrod_Dolev · June 6, 2023, 11:51am

Try entering: cloud_say as the TTS Platform value (without tts. before it).

terryhonn · June 7, 2023, 9:45pm

I’m getting an ‘unknown error’ when trying to call this service. There is nothing being logged, however, at least as far as I can find.

What other troubleshooting steps should I take to try to get this working for me?

EDIT: I do find that there is nothing being logged when trying to play to one of the Sonos players, but if I try to play to something Echo-based ( a Show, Dot, etc.), there is an error logged like the following:

[custom_components.chime_tts] Unable to get current volume for media player 'media_player.allie_s_office_show'

Nimrod_Dolev · June 7, 2023, 10:30pm

In the system’s log page, can you please press: LOAD FULL LOGS and see if there’s anything else that could be helpful to understand what might be causing the “unknown error”?

Regarding the current volume error message: it indicates that Chime TTS cannot access that particular media_player’s volume_level attribute - but that just means it won’t adjust the volume before playing the notification. Do you end up hearing the notification on the speaker?

Nimrod_Dolev · June 19, 2023, 9:34pm

Unfortunately nothing looks wrong in the log messages. I don’t have a fire tablet so I can’t test the issue but behind the scenes the integration calls the native media player’s play media service. Are you able to play TTS messages (or plain media files) normally on the tablet?
As for the delay, it’s an open issue but unrelated to your issue of no audio playing.

pepe59 · June 19, 2023, 9:46pm

I recently removed it because NabuCasa tts was not working.
Haven’t gotten around to it yet but will install and test tomorrow.
I will let you know how it works, or if there are any errors.

kartcon · June 21, 2023, 12:27am

Just downloaded, installed and rebooted. I am seeing the exact same thing, audio file is created, the filename and path are correct, but sound output is not heard. Here is the log dump from just a few minutes ago.

Hopefully additional users and log files can help isolate the cause. I really like this idea and hope you can get it resolved.

Nimrod_Dolev · June 21, 2023, 6:17am

@kartcon, I agree that your log messages don’t indicate an issue, but I will take a look into it.

Could you please verify whether you are able to play a local .mp3 file on that media player, using Home Assistant’s native media_player.play_media service?

For example:

service: media_player.play_media
data:
  media_content_id: /local/a_local_audio_file.mp3
  media_content_type: music
target:
  entity_id: media_player.office

juaurodri · June 21, 2023, 11:59am

Hi, after last update works great.
It’s possible to work with dialects?

My configuration.yaml is:

tts:

platform: google_translate
language: “pt”
tld: pt

like explained here

But Brazilian is spoken

Thanks

Nimrod_Dolev · June 21, 2023, 6:14pm

@juaurodri, I added the functionalty for language support to a new release v0.3.2. You should see an update in HACS.

juaurodri · June 21, 2023, 7:22pm

Thanks for that!

I found 2 bugs:
File “/config/custom_components/chime_tts/init.py”, line 302, in async_get_playback_audio_path
filename_bytes = filename.encode(‘ascii’)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character ‘\xe1’ in position 32: ordinal not in range(128)

Filename dont accept words like Olá or João

And this one:

Nimrod_Dolev · June 21, 2023, 8:43pm

Hey @juaurodri, thanks for reporting the issues

I fixed the first issue and I think the second one might be related, so hopefully it’s also fixed.
Could you please upgrade to the new version (v0.3.3) and let me know if if you’re still having any issues?

If you are still having issues after upgrading, please first turn on debug logging, then run the service and reply with the log messages so I might have a better idea of what could be going on.
