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

kvutter · October 15, 2024, 5:25pm

Hi all! I’m really looking forward to using this integration, but I’m having a couple difficulties.

First, it seems that any changes I make in the configuration dialogue for the integration aren’t accepted, regardless of what they are. When I hit Submit, it appears that the dialogue goes away for a half-second, then comes back. My changed settings are still there, but there doesn’t appear to be any error message in the dialogue, and no indication that anything was changed. When I dismiss it and come back, the old settings are there again. I’ve enabled logging, but can’t see anything that looks like an error at that point, except for the “This Integration isn’t recognized by home assistant and may not be supported”, which seems to come up in other situations as well from what I’ve read, and a couple other messages labled as “Helper” which seem only to have graphics symbols, but no words associated with them. Perhaps those are the error messages, but I can’t read them with a screen reader.

I also can’t seem to get Chime_TTS to recognize custom files, no matter where I put them, although I’m not sure if that’s because I can’t change the paths, or for other reasons. I’ve tried to put files in paths that are already configured in the configuration dialogue and restarting, but no joy.

I’m running HA on a stock installation on RPI3, and just updated everything a couple days ago, but I was having this problem before as well. I can give you more details about versions etc when needed, but thought this might be a quick way to begin figuring out what’s going on.

I see from all the posts, and reports on Github that you’re doing a lot already on supporting this integration, and I very much appreciate it. I’ve tried to study things well before posting, so hopefully I’m not overlooking something obvious and adding needless posts here. Thanks very much for any assistance.

Hi @kvutter, sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing these issues.

This issue has been resolved in v1.1.5-beta1.
To install beta versions, you can follow the instructions in the documentation.

In order to understand what the issue might be, can you please provide me with the debug log messages?

Nimrod_Dolev · October 16, 2024, 6:56am

Hi @jncanches. This issue has been fixed in v1.1.5-beta2. Can you please upgrade to the new version and let me know if the issue is resolved for you?

ColtonYYZ · October 19, 2024, 1:31am

Hey @Nimrod_Dolev! I’ve upgraded to the last 2 betas you’ve pushed out and both are giving me that same “Sorry, I’m having trouble accessing your Simon Says NA Skill right now.” message. I’ve made sure the artwork option wasn’t checked, which solved the last issue I raised, but I’m not sure what’s going on this time around.

I’ve switched back to v1.1.5-beta1 which works. Here’s my log:

Hi @Nimrod_Dolev(/u/Nimrod_Dolev). Thanks very much. That fixed the configurations dialogue, which apparently also solved the file path problems as well. Thanks again very much.

Nimrod_Dolev · October 21, 2024, 9:02pm

Hey @ColtonYYZ so sorry it stopped working for you in the beta. I have made some significant changes specific for Alexa Media Player entities in v1.1.6-beta2 which was just released.

Could you please upgrade to the new version and let me know if it fixes the issue?

Thanks for your patience.

Hi all. Maybe a silly question, but in the audio src message, aren’t those supposed to be single quotes, rather than double-quotes? And also, doesn’t the whole “audio src” section from less to greater have to be in double-quotes? When I sent just a tts message to an audio file, that worked for me. Not sure if that makes any difference in this case. My 1.5 is also giving me the simon says skill error also, and I haven’t tried betas yet. Just bearly got alexa to play an audio file successfully straight from the notify command, so haven’t had time to go further yet. Hope this perhaps helps someone. Thanks again for all the hard work.

Hi Nim.

So, I believe I have the latest release version installed (1.1.5), but am still unable to play a custom MP3 file containing a chime. I moved the file to various places, but the file containing the chime isn’t played before the actual announcement (which is played)

I currently have the file in /root/media which allows me to verify that a standard HA media player can in fact play the MP3, but ideally, I’d like to have it in /local/sounds, where all my custom sounds are located. But hey, I’ll put it where ever the integration can find and play it.

Nimrod_Dolev · October 27, 2024, 9:43pm

Hi @DE5013. I think the issue is that you have included /root in the mp3 file path.

Please try omitting it, eg: /media/chime.mp3

DE5013 · October 27, 2024, 11:15pm

Alas, no. If I just put /media/chime.mp3, absolutley nothing plays. Logs show:

Can you please enable debug logging so that I might be better able to understand what the issue is?

Andre3000 · October 28, 2024, 4:32pm

Hi @Nimrod_Dolev

I just found your wonderful integration and I´m more than impressed. Coming from Sonos TTS Script (stopped working) to your integration is pure fun. Everything worked from the beginning. Im using it to play some chatgpt generated tts messages on my sonos system.

Im just having two minor issues that I would like to understand:

Playing the tts message on more than one device is not working for me.
Volume Slider also not working (The messages plays at maximum volume)

Would love to get some hints

- action: chime_tts.say
    metadata: {}
    data:
      chime_path: chord
      tts_platform: cloud
      message: "{{ gpt_response.content.choices[0].message.content }}"
      voice: GiselaNeural
      volume_level: 0,01
    target:
      entity_id:
        - media_player.sonos_arc
        - media_player.sonos_one_sl_kuche

Nimrod_Dolev · October 28, 2024, 6:15pm

Hey @Andre3000, thanks for the kind words

Playing the tts message on more than one device is not working for me.

Sonos media_player entities have been known to be problematic (just look at the messages in this post alone).
That being said, please provide me with debug log messages so that I can take a closer look and possibly see something relevant.

Volume Slider also not working (The messages plays at maximum volume)

I think the volume issue could be because you used a value with a comma instead of a period (0,01 instead of 0.01). Try using a period instead (0.01) and report back if it’s still not working (with debug log messages).

Andre3000 · October 28, 2024, 6:48pm

Thanks for the debug log messages
I see no problems in the logs, but I noticed that you’re setting the volume to 0.01 (which is 1%). Could this be the reason you don’t hear anything?

Andre3000 · October 28, 2024, 7:07pm

Thanks for flying trough the logs! I need to specify. I hear the tts message on “Sonos SL Küche” but not on the “Sonos Arc” device. You’re right the volume is very low, but the kids are sleeping. For testing purposes it’s fine.

Edit: new behaviour… if music is playing on Sonos One SL Küche and chime_tts is called l, then the volume at Sonos Arc is set to 50% and I have no idea why. Just lost my ears

Nimrod_Dolev · October 28, 2024, 7:48pm

Sorry for the hearing loss!
Could you please provide me with the debug logs? It’s the only way I can see what’s going on.

Andre3000 · October 28, 2024, 8:09pm

I will provide you the logs probably tomorrow. While reading through the web I found this quote linked to the Sonos ha Integration:

Playing TTS (text-to-speech) or audio files as alerts (e.g., a doorbell or alarm) is possible by setting the announce argument to true . Using announce will play the provided media URL as an overlay, gently lowering the current music volume and automatically restoring to the original level when finished. An optional volume argument can also be provided in the extra dictionary to play the alert at a specific volume level.

Example code:

target:
  entity_id: media_player.sonos
data:
  announce: true
  media_content_type: "music"
  media_content_id: "http://192.168.1.50:8123/local/sound_files/doorbell-front.mp3"
  extra:
    volume: 20

EDIT: the “extra” argument in code isn’t working too

EDIT2: this code is now working in terms of volume adjustment! But I had to remove one Sonos. As soon as I add another media player entity the volume is not adjusted but stays on the previous level.

    metadata: {}
    data:
      chime_path: chord
      tts_platform: cloud
      message: "{{ gpt_response.content.choices[0].message.content }}"
      voice: KatjaNeural
      join_players: true
      unjoin_players: true
      announce: true
      volume_level: 0.25
    target:
      entity_id:
        - media_player.sonos_arc

Done. Where do you want the logs sending (presumably not here)?
