Hi @KrisHoobie. Sorry to hear youโ€™re having this issue.

Chime TTS sets the volume level for Sonos speakers in the same way via the extra.volume parameter regardless of whether announce is set to true or false.

Can you please share with me a YAML example of how you successfully call the media_player.play_media service for your Sonos speaker, where you apply the volume?

Hi,

When not using ChimeTTS but using all my Sonos speakers for my alarm Iโ€™m using the following code and this works just fine

  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data_template:
      entity_id:
      - media_player.draagbaar
      - media_player.sonoskeuken
      - media_player.badkamer
      - media_player.studeerkamer
      - media_player.woonkamer_2
      volume_level: '{{ states("input_number.defaultVolumeAlarm") }}'

However when using ChimeTTS the volume is not changing when using the following code

    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: chime_tts.say
      target:
        entity_id:
          - media_player.sonoskeuken
          - media_player.draagbaar
      data:
        end_chime_path: tada
        message: dit is een volume test
        chime_path: ba_dum_tss
        tts_platform: cloud
        join_players: true
        unjoin_players: true
        volume_level: 0.34

I played around with another number for the volume_level but nothing changes. However, I read somewhere in this thread that other people also having this problem and they said that when adding announce: true to this piece of code the volume_level is taking into account and indeed when doing that the volume is set. But I donโ€™t want to use announce as it must be completely silent when the message is send.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Cheers
Kris

Hey @Nimrod_Dolev! Hope all is well with you and yours!

Iโ€™m having problems with the new v1.1.4-beta 4. When I run an automation, I get that stupid โ€œSorry, Iโ€™m having trouble accessing your Simon Says NA skill right nowโ€ error.

My devices beep which means chime_tts works for volume change but I donโ€™t think it restores back to the intial volume. (This isnโ€™t what I need help with but thought Iโ€™d mention it)

I didnโ€™t make any changes. I only upgraded to the beta 4 from the v1.1.4-beta 3 and it started saying that error.

When I downgrade to v1.1.4-beta 3, Iโ€™m able to run the automation and do not get that error.

Here are my logs, hoping you might see what might be causing the error. I have redacted my personal nabu casa part of the URL being used.

EDIT: Below is v1.1.4-beta4 logs:

First of all thanks a lot for this integration. Itโ€™s really nice and handy.

My question is the following: I tried to put the following to both chime: and chime_path: parameters:

media-source://media_source/media/Announcements/Chimes/Seatbelts Double.wav

However, none worked. Is it actually possible to put it this way?

Hey @Nimrod_Dolev ,

I might be opening a can of worms here but I was at my friends place who uses Spotify. We installed Chime TTS and set up an automation to play on one of his speakers. He was listening to Spotify on all his speakers, and when Chime TTS automation ran, it stopped the music on ALL his speakers, played the chime on the specific speaker chosen in the automation, but then did not resume the music again on any of the speakers.

Is Chime TTS only to stop Spotify on the specific designated speaker in the automation or is the expected outcome for it to stop Spotify on all speakers, in order to run itโ€™s automation?

Sorry if this is a silly question. I donโ€™t have Spotify so I am not able to troubleshoot this easily. I can work with my friend for the logs if you need them, but this was really just a question on the expected behaviour of Chime TTS. :slight_smile:

@Nimrod_Dolev I have been getting โ€œlog in attempt failedโ€ notifications in HA tied to Chime TTS. This happens repeatedly every couple of hours. Below are the logs. Iโ€™m running v.1.1.4-beta4 on 2024.7.3. What could be causing this, and is there a fix?

Hello,

I have a morning announcement but it always do s the announcement twice.
I did an delete and reinstall of the intergration but that didnโ€™t help.
Anybody else encountered this?

584

Cam anyone confirm that tts stop working with HomePod os18?

585

Iโ€™ve found that the Announce parameter needs to be set in Chime_TTS so that everything works as you want, ie Mute the current play source, make the announcement at what ever volume you want, resume the playback at the original volume level.

586

Hey @dbullendsl ! Yes, โ€˜Announceโ€™ needs to be set in Chime_TTS.

My inquiry was asking if Spotify is playing on a bunch of speakers (or everywhere), is Chime TTS only to stop playing on an individual speaker (that youโ€™ve programmed an automation for example), and keep playing on all other speakers itโ€™s currently playing on, or does Chime TTS stop Spofiy completely, in other words, all speakers itโ€™s playing on?

My friend had 10 Alexa devices playing spotify, and he setup an automation using one of the 10 speakers and he wanted Spotify to be interrupted only on that one speaker, and not have Chime TTS stop Spotify on all his other speakers - which it did.

So is this by design or would it be a bug, or a feature request?

587

I have only 2 Sonos speakers to test with, but to test I started both of them grouped and playing a Spotify play list. Then issue a TTS Say to one of them - the announcement played on the unit I requested and the other Sonos player continued with the playlist, then the speaker used for the announcement resumed the playlist in sync with the other at the previous volume. Is your friend grouping the Sonos speaker or is he playing separate playlist on each? The action does not stop the playback on the other speakers.

588

He does group them. Could that be why it stopped on the other speakers? Keep in mind, his devices are Alexa devices and not Sonos. So maybe they are different like that?

589

My appologies, I missed the information that your friend was using Alexas. I have those too but am in the process of abandoning them in favor of Sonos Roam 2 devices for several reasons. I did test playing a Spotify playlist on my Alexas and there are differences.

The grouping of the speakers is done in the Alexa app, when playing an announcement DONโ€™T set any parameters like JOIN, UNJOIN, ANNOUNCE, or FADE AUDIO. Donโ€™t mix target devices, ie, Alexa, and Sonos. Do use the parameter for Conversion (although I think this is now default if Alexa speakers are set for output).

service: chime_tts.say
data:
  chime_path: custom_components/chime_tts/mp3s/bells.mp3
  end_chime_path: custom_components/chime_tts/mp3s/tada.mp3
  message: Hello
  tts_platform: tts.piper
  volume_level: 0.75
  audio_conversion: Alexa
target:
  entity_id: media_player.sunroom_echo_dot

Using these parameters I do find that individual Alexa devices can make the announcements without impacting the others. The problem Iโ€™ve found with the Alexas is that theyโ€™re cloud based and even though my network and internet connection is very robust the time to make the announcement varies and sometimes the chime_tts: say call times out before the speaker is done making the announcement even though I have the service call time out set quite high. As a result, when the announcement has finished on the device the volume never returns to the original playlist volume on that device.

Hope this makes sense,

Iโ€™m having the same issue described by @msl2424 on the latest release and beta versions. I verified that my public folder is publicly accessible, and then I took a look at the mp3 files that get copied to the public folder and found:

  1. With only an Alexa device in a chime_tts.say call from the developer tools or from a script/automation: the public mp3 is in the Alexa format (post ffmpeg conversion).

  2. With both an Alexa device and a local device (Sonos, Homepod, etc.) on a chime_tts.say call from the developer tools: the public mp3 is in the Alexa format (post ffmpeg conversion).

  3. With both an Alexa device and a local device (Sonos, Homepod, etc.) on a chime_tts.say call from a script or automation: the public mp3 is not in the Alexa format. The Alexa converted mp3 is created successfully per the debug logs, but it appears the original is copied to the public folder instead.

Itโ€™s quite strange that the behavior is different depending on where the service call is triggered. All with the exact same yaml service call definition.

Hopefully this is a helpful clue.

Public file in cases 1 & 2 above:

591

aaronm23, In Case 3, I see the bitrate shows 129k when the limitation is 48k. Case 1 and 2 both show 48k which I suspect why it works on those two scenarios. Not sure how to fix it for Case 3, that would be up to @Nimrod_Dolev .

He needs the debugging log. You can enable debug logging by going to Settings โ€”> Devices & Services โ€”> Chime TTS โ€”> Enable debug logging

Case 1: Works - Called from Developer Tools with Alexa and Homepod

Alexa Media Player has a couple issues recently but has now since recovered with their latest update. (I had to delete the integration and reinstall, and reconfigure it <to include the trailing / > after I updated it to 4.12.7 in order to get it working)

However. here with Chime_TTS v1.1.4-beta 4, it still doesnโ€™t make the announement even after updating AMP.

Just downgrade the integration to Chime_TTS v1.1.4-beta 3 and AMP will work again.

Thereโ€™s just something about beta 4 that is causing it to break. Hope this helps somoene else in the meantime.

OK, Iโ€™ve been incredibly slack about testing this (real life happens) but now Iโ€™m on it again and I am really liking it so far. Iโ€™m currently on v1.1.3 but will move to the latest beta very soon.

I have one feature request:

Would it be possible to allow the volume of each media player to be set individually?

Sorry if this is already possible and I missed it.

EDIT:
It seems I did!

volume_level:
  - media_player.kitchen: 1.00
  - media_player.bedroom: 0.45
  - media_player.living_room: 0.75
  - media_player.study: 0.5

It appears the ElevenLabs_TTS โ€œtts.elevenlabs_ttsโ€ integration is being phased out in favor of an official ElevenLabs integration. โ€œtts.elevenlabsโ€ Currently they can coexist, no information on how long.
