I believe the two folders need to be separate You can’t combine them into one. One should be a temporary folder and then the other one should be your output folder

No luck

This is my setup which works fine

Heres my setup which works fine:

UuuuuuuuuUntitled

And I have this for my public folders in my configuration file:

homeassistant:
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    - "/config/www/tmp"
    - "/media"
    - "/config/www/chime_tts"

Hi Michael, sorry you’ve been having this issue.

Using the chime_tts.say_url service with notify.alexa_media should work, but since v1.0.0 you can simply use chime_tts.say and specify your Alexa media_player, which should simplify your script.

It’s not clear which service is throwing the Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data['sequence'] error. It would be helpful to see the debug logs to determine where this error occurs.

To debug the problem I suggest you call chime_tts.say via the Services tab in the Developer tools page, that way you will be able to tell if the issue is related to Chime TTS. If not, it’s likely an issue with your scipt.

Either way: the debug logs are the best way for me to understand what the issue might be.

428

Hi Steffen, sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue.

Thank you for the debug logs. Unfortunately they don’t reveal any clues, as they indicate that the correct steps were taken by Chime TTS.

My best guess as to what is causing the issue, is that after fading out and pausing the playing music, the Chime TTS audio announcement replaces the paused music, so there isn’t anything to resume.

Could you try setting the announce parameter to true? I am curious if that might fix the issue. Eg:

service: chime_tts.say
data:
chime_path: ding_dong
offset: 450
final_delay: 100
message: Hallo dies ist ein Test
tts_platform: edge_tts
volume_level: 0.6
fade_audio: true
announce: true
target:
entity_id: media_player.sonos_buero
429

Hi Dave, this issue looks like it might be related to Steffen’s post.

Could you please review my response and also try to see if setting announce to true addresses the issue?

430

Hi @Desert_AIP, I think the issue you’re having of the blank audio from Amazon Polly is due to an incorrect/missing configuration for the Amazon Polly platform in your Home Assistant instance, as these errors indicate that Chime TTS wasn’t able to find it in the list of installed TTS platforms.

Have you been able to successfully use the Amazon Polly TTS platform outside of Chime TTS, i,e with the tts.amazon_polly_say service?

431

Hi Robert, sorry to hear you’re unable to join the speakers together.

I don’t see any issues with your YAML. Can you please provide me with the debug log messages so that I might be able to see where the issue might be?

432

Hi @stormshaker, thank you for your kind words, I appreciate the support!

  1. Cache doesn’t work for me, it throws an Unknown Error. I’m using a rPi4 with HASSOS.

I suggest you try installing the latest beta version (v1.1.0-beta4) and see if it addresses the issue.

If you still expereince the issue on the beta then please provide me with your debug log messages so that I might be able to see what the issue is.

  1. …music continues playing 100% for another 1 second, then music volume returns to 15%.

For this issue I would again ask you to send me your debug log messages as it’s difficult to tell what could be causing the issue without any additionhal information.

433

Hi Chrisandsally, you’re the first to report this issue as far as I know - and it’s always a good idea to provide debug logs :wink:

It’s hard to understand what might be causing the issue, so please send me the debug logs and i’ll try to see what might be the cause.

434

Hi Coolie, I agree with @ColtonYYZ that the issue for your missing playback is related to the folder path you have defined for temporary TTS audio files. You are trying to play audio files from a folder that is not inside your media direcotry (/config/tts).

Try changing this path to /media/tts (or any subfolder inside of the /media folder).

435

Is it mandatory that it be in the media folder?

436

I believe so. Try changing the path and see if it makes a difference.

437

Weird because I have been using /config/tts for years

438

How have you been using it?

439

@Nimrod_Dolev

Thanks for getting back to me. I setup a script with the following YAML;

alias: Chime TTS Test
sequence:
  - service: logger.set_level
    data:
      custom_components.chime_tts: debug
  - service: chime_tts.say
    target:
      entity_id:
        - media_player.breakfast_sonos
        - media_player.kitchen_sonos
        - media_player.livingroom_sonos
        - media_player.roam_sl_sonos
        - media_player.workshop_sonos
    data:
      chime_path: fanfare
      message: This is a test
      tts_platform: tts.google_en_com
      join_players: true
      unjoin_players: true
mode: single

Monitoring execution of the script in the SONOS application, I see an audio file received and played by the breakfast_sonos speaker. None of the other speakers are joined together prior to the message being played. I tried running the script a couple of times.

You may want to review how the media source works in Home Assistant

If you want to use the folder /config/tts you will need to ensure that this path is included in media_source in your configuration.yaml file.

I just released a new beta release, v1.1.0-beta 5 with the following:

:toolbox: Improvements:

  • Converted included chime paths to absolute file paths

:lady_beetle: Bugfixes:

  • Fix for incorrect label for the 4th custom chime in the dropdown UI
  • Fix for downloading chime audio files
  • Fixes for joined media_players (eg: Sonos)
  • Fix to prevent original chime files from being overwritten by audio_conversion

To install the new beta version:

  1. Open the Chime TTS repository in HACS
  2. Click on the ⋮ button in the top right
  3. Select the ↻ Redownload option
  4. Enable the Show beta versions option (it may take a moment to update the list)
  5. Select version v1.1.0-beta5 from the updated version drop-down list
  6. Restart Home Assistant
