Chime TTS - Play audio before/after TTS audio lag free

Any idea why I’m constantly getting a system notification for “login attempt or invalid authentication” for the below requested URL? This occurred 1,700 times in the past five hours.

‘/media/local/sounds/temp/chime_tts/0lwkjkm7.mp3’

I’ve been away for a while and I was in the middle of re-writing it all - schoolboy error, because now I have to pick it up and remember what I have done!!

I will try to remember to put it here when I have it all sorted out,

Hey @msl2424, are you sure your path is correct?

‘/media/local/sounds/temp/chime_tts/0lwkjkm7.mp3’

According to your url, your home assistant config folder is located within your media folder?? The following url is the same path which doesn’t make sense to me:

‘/media/config/www/sounds/temp/chime_tts/0lwkjkm7.mp3’

I think you meant to set it up as:

‘/media/sounds/temp/chime_tts/0lwkjkm7.mp3’

Attaching a screen print to show you how I have mine setup and it works fine.
folder-setup

Same here …. Updated Long time ago to the Dev. os18…. Since this update - does not work anmymore….

Big HomePod with old os, 17.x it works …

@ColtonYYZ Thanks for your reply. Below is a screen shot of my existing Chime TTS setup. I have also pasted below the log for the system notification error (which is displayed constantly). Running v1.1.4-beta4. Any ideas?

I’m afraid I don’t know. I had to roll back to Beta 3 because Beta 4 wasn’t working for me (I have Alexa devices).

Are you able to post the whole section for ChimeTTS from your logs, not just the single line? It might be helpful to see the steps it’s taking. Be sure to redact your NabuCasa ID in the public path URL. The log should look like this:

@ColtonYYZ See additional logs below. I also found this related issue reported. I appreciate your time and help on this. The constant system notification is kind of driving me nuts.

@Nimrod_Dolev thanks for the integration. Is there also a way to use this with the notification entity as I have some devices (NSPanel Pro) that run HA companion app and I would like to place notifications on them.

Hi Christopher. You can review the notify documentation for guidance on using Chime TTS for notifications.

@derekcentrico Did you find a solution for this? I’ve had the same for some time now, and it’s driving me nuts.

Hey @msl2424. It looks like this isn’t an issue with Chime TTS but with Home Assistant Core.

There’s an open issue here which includes a solution from @derekcentrico.

Thank you. I posted my update here.
