Hey @Nimrod_Dolev! Sorry for going MIA. I am dealing with bedbugs I just found (EW!) and while dealing with that drama, my PC wouldn’t boot up after simply restarting. Turns out, it was because of a stupid MicroSD card I had in a reader - I didn’t think anything about it cause there’s nothing on it. But apparently my PC didn’t like the card.
Anyway, good news… sort of.
When I followed your steps, I ran the automation, the mp3 played as expected, and without any Simon Says error. We really should find this guy and bop him over the head once or twice. KIDDING! I don’t condone violence! But man does he ever get on my nerves!
That said, when I try running the automation without Cache set to true, I get the Simon Says error message.
Here are the logs, for the several times I ran it, with and without cache set to true:
Hey @ColtonYYZ - sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve been facing 
Let me at least try to fix your issues with Chime TTS and Alexa 
I want to clarify with you exactly when the issue occurs and when it does not. I have understood the follow, please correct me if i’m wrong:
| # | Cache Value | New File Generated? | Playback Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | false |
Yes |  Simon Says error |
| 2 | true |
Yes (on first run) |  Successful playback |
| 3 | true |
No (on subsequent runs) | Successful playback |
Assuming this is correct: I don’t understand why the cached version of the MP3 plays correctly the second time, but newly generated MP3s do not. It would make sense that there’s a difference between the two.
Can you please try the following?
- Run
chime_tts.sayto create a new MP3 withcacheset totrue(i.e: scenario #2 in the above table), and then try to play it vianotify.alexa_media? - Repeat the same call to
chime_tts.sayand then try to play it vianotify.alexa_media(scenario #3)?
It might also be useful if you could please save the file each time, so I can compare the two.
Hey @Nimrod_Dolev!
I ran the tests you mentioned. They both worked fine. BUT, as soon as I was finished running the last test, I decided to go uncheck the cache and make no other changes, and run the test again, and I received the Simon Says error. So it works fine when cache is set to true but fails when it’s set to false.
Here are the logs:

Hi Nim.
So, I deleted the integration, completely rebooted my HA box, and reinstalled it from HACS. (I used SSH to delete all the old chime_tts files from HA and reloaded it anew from HACS and reconfigured.)
Sonos now working again, but absolutely nothing out of the HomePod. (I had to change TTS platform from Nabu Casa → Microsoft, to make even the Sonos work.)
My (re)configuration is:
I still have the changes we made to configuration.yaml.
Any clue?

Datapoint. On a standard media player using my HomePod, I can browse to the folder where the cached files are (/media/sounds/temp/chime_tts) and play the file directly on the device.
So far this has been a great integration! Cant tell you how much I’ve messed around with things like dummy media players and what not to try get a URL for Sonos announce!
Thank you @Nimrod_Dolev 
Then I have a question:
I setup ChimeTTS to get a URL using Piper as below.
I get a URL and the file can be see and heard all as expected.
Then of course I want to complicate things… I came across Elevenlabs TTS to get more natural sounding voices and I was like “perfect I can just swap this in for Piper and it’s like Im living in the future!” but I got stuck.
Elevenlabs TTS is setup, and works as expected (tested this through media sources - tts - send to brower). I have a preselected voice in the config for ElevenLabs etc and I hear what is expected.
When setting it up as a TTS provider in Chime TTS as below:
Then running the action, it only produces a URL with the chime, no TTS.
The logs look like the below (including the media file error too):

Media file "%s" is not in a local media directory. See https://www.home-assistant.io/more-info/local-media/setup-media/
Any thoughts on this? Is this a known limitation? Am I missing something here?
Edit: Removed mention of the “Media file “%s” is not in a local media directory…” error. Seems like adding a folder location for custom chimes (only thing I changed since posting) removed this error.
Edit 2: Never mind, that “Media file…” error is still in my logs when using Piper or Elevenlabs
Hi,
I’m having some troubles using this integration. I have 5 Sonos devices and I want to use them for the doorbell and to announce some information for the kids (dinner is ready). I want to join all the players for this and after the doorbell/announcement each Sonos device must continue playing the radio station or Spotify on the Sonos that was playing before.
Could I achieve this using only this integration, or do I need to snapshot / join / unjoin / restore option from the Sonos integration. I would be really grateful when someone could share his code for this. I tried several combinations but not with the expected result.
Please keep in mind that I’m using only Sonos devices (I have read several different things that is working on one brand and not on another)
Thanks a lot
Kris
Anyone noticing that volume_level is being ignored? Doesn’t seem to be working when I send a TTS to my Sonos devices. Only seems to be an issue for Sonos devices though
