Sorry to bring this up again, but I’d love to be able to get access to the MP3 file. Any ideas anyone?
You’re able to get that by using the say_url function - it’l return the full url of the mp3 but you can parse it to find the location. Also look in the folder “/homeassistant/www/chime_tts”
sadly not!
I created an open issue in the github page for Chime_TTS a month ago, no response.
Also a request, add Elevenlabs_TTS to the available choices of platforms
It looks like this, so the same apart from the chime TTS mp3s URL option.
I tried to amend it to include the “/config/”, but when I save, it switches it back!
Chime SAY works but Chime Say URL does not. But the logs are misleading because they say things are being saved which are not.

The editor in HASS is wierd - try prepending the /www/chime_tts parameter with /config THEN press TAB. should take you to the next line without clearing your entry.
Then you should be able to save it.
also I’m puzzled by the line from your log output that says:
media_content_id: media-source://media_source/local/sounds/temp/chime_tts/_jvu5x_c.mp3
the media_content_id: should be a ip address or FQN do you have any network connection to your hass server from outside your network? Is media_source a network name?
this is what I get from mine:
https://xxxxxhome.duckdns.org:443/local/chime_tts/_75web41.mp3
not sure, might be because I’m using the VLC Media Player Telnet application as a target just to get it to generate the TTS MP3?
Sadly not. Might have to do this? chime_tts.say_url default save folder doesn't seem to exist, but works with modifications · Issue #86 · nimroddolev/chime_tts · GitHub Seems strange that only some of us have this issue.
But also the folder paths aren’t consistent - the /media/ one really is ‘above’ the ‘config’ directory but the ‘www’ one is beneath it.
I know that when I starting using this package, I had some false starts. I’ve completely deleted the whole thing including going to the /custom_components folder an making sure that there weren’t any residual pieces laying about. Then reinstalling from HACS and entering the values in the configuration as they are now.
Might be something to try.
I’ve been working on a substantial release which includes quite a few new features and bugfixes which include issues with the default folder paths for both chime_tts.say and chime_tts.say_url.
It’s not quite ready, and the documentation isn’t complete yet, but I would be grateful for feedback whether these issues persist for you in the new version or have been addressed so I have released a beta (v0.14.0-beta1).
To install the beta version:
-
Open the Chime TTS repository in HACS
-
Click on the
⋮button in the top right -
Select the
↻ Redownloadoption -
Enable the
Show beta versionsoption (it may take a moment to update the list) -
Select version
v0.14.0-beta1from the updated version drop-down list -
Restart Home Assistant

So far…
When trying to change the default TTS service the config doesn’t seem to take anything and throws an error. I’ve tried Piper, tts.piper tts.elevenlabs_tts, All with the same results.
When trying to create a new message using chime_tts:say no pull-down selection for tts.elevenlabs_tts. But just adding it by typing it in does work.
Thank you! This fixed the issue for me!

Thank you @dbullendsl for the feedback.
I resolved both issues in a new beta release: v0.14.0-beta2.
I’ve updated to latest beta and the config panel does accept a default tts platform. Although even tho it’s configured when I try to create a call to ctts:say the platform still requires a value to be input for the platform - shouldn’t it be pre-filled for the default value?
Also, the issue I raised earlier about the volume not reverting to previous now seems resolved.
Haven’t discovered anything else.
I’m glad to hear those issues seem to be resolved.
Unfortunately Home Assistant doesn’t allow for editing service UI elements, so I have no way of changing the TTS Platform dropdown options list.
so then, why bother having a default ?
It is used when tts_platform is null
hi,
does the goole cast devices like nest hub 2 and and the nest mini 2 support the ‘annouce’.
thank you in advance
Hi @BENZAKOUR86. I don’t own either of those devices so unfortunately I can’t confirm. When enabling the announce parameter in the latest version, chime_tts.say checks whether the feature is supported by the media_player platform, and if not, it fades out & pauses any currently playing music and then after the announcement is completed it resumes the music and fades it back in.
If the feature doesn’t work as expected I would be happy to troubleshoot with you and see if there’s a way I can add support for these platforms.
