I’m not familiar with the Google TTS platform… Perhaps there’s something in that config that does the chime.
In my case I was targeting a media_player that Music Assistant provided. That media_player had “pre-announce” defaults that were redundant when using Chime TTS, so I had to turn them off.
Hello,
I just tried this integration and it seems like on both my Google Nest Display and original Google Home if I set the volume to 1 the volume will actually turn to 1/10 on the devices, I have to set it to 0.99 instead which seems to work. Also the announce feature doesn’t seem to work.
Sigi.
Hello. Is there an update of HomePod mini which prevent Chime TTS to work ?
Actually, a few months (can’t remember when, and I didn’t had time to search a solution) ago ChimeTTS stopped to produce any sound on my HomePod mini (it worked very well before).
Thanks
Been trying to figure this weird one out, so far no joy.
Occasionally an announcement made thru chime_tts, appears to fail, but the logs do not show anything, and the problem is it isn’t reproducible. An example: the washer completes its cycle and triggers the announcement that it’s done. The music playing on the Sonos speakers fades down to a lower level and then quiet until the music returns to normal volume. If I trigger the announcement manually, it plays just fine, and it plays fine for the next announcement also. I’ve looked at the logs for both Sonos and Chime_TTS and there are no errors.
At first I thought maybe the IP address for the Sonos speakers was getting dropped by my router, but the Sonos speakers have reserved IP addresses and the renewal time is over 24hrs, so that’s not it, besides I have 5 Sonos speakers and it fails on all of them.
Don’t think it would be any help to upload log files because they don’t show anything. I’ve tried removing and reinstalling/configuring chime_tts to no avail so I’m stumped. If anybody using Sonos speakers might have possible insight toss in a suggestion.

Was this question about using HAOS mounted network storage for media files answered?
I also store all my audio files on a NAS to reduce backup sizes and bloat.
Is there a local path the remote shares are mounted in?
Can you add its contents to the dropdown by default?
Is there a way to use the HA media picker control like the Media Player action?
I found the mount location /media/Media
I updated the config for chime:
But pick list is still not populating:
Suggestions for troubleshooting?
Hello everyone, maybe someone can help.
I have a local TTS Marytts, it takes up to 7 seconds to generate a response, It seems that Chime does not receive a response in time and thinks that the file is not generated, but if the response file was already in the cache, then it works as it should.
As a result, it turns out like this:
10:00:01 Hey Jarvis, what time is it?
10:00:03 …
10:00:10 Hey Jarvis, what time is it?
10:00:13 It’s 10:00 now
10:01:01 Hey Jarvis, what time is it?
10:01:03 …
