@Nimrod_Dolev iT is actually the airport express AirPlay 2 devices that are having issues. I have found a workaround for the Sonos. See full log below
I can play other media with media_player.play_media with no issues only the chime tts has the problems.

Hi @Sebastiaan1 . There are no clues in the logs, unfortunately.
I suggest you try enabling the cache option and copy the path to the generated file from the debug logs.media_player.play_media action using the copied path.
Nimrod_Dolev:
media_player.play_media
Hi @Nimrod_Dolev I made the following script with a cached mp3 from the chime TTS media folder and this plays without issues or errors.
alias: test media play

Hi all,OpenAI TTS integration via HACS and that works fine “stand alone” from the developer tools.
However when I select OpenAI TTS as TTS platform in Chime TTS nothing happens and I get these kind of errors:
The openai_tts platform was not found. Please check that it has been configured correctly
Why can that be, did I overlook something? I removed and reinstalled OpenAI TTS, restarted a couple of time, but to no avail.
Hey @Sebastiaan1 i’m surprised that it’s working as a standard media_player.play_media action outside of Chime TTS as they should be the same as far as Home Assistant is concerned (Chime TTS creates the MP3, and then plays it).chime_tts.say action. Also, given that it was working initially, but stopped at some point suggests the issue might be related to a change unrelated to Chime TTS.
I’m afraid without further information I don’t know what else might be involved in the cause of the issue.
Perhaps other users have experienced and solved the same issue?
Hi @Bikey .
I just tested the OpenAI TTS integration from HACS and was able to use it with Chime TTS. I recommend you check that the tts_platform parameter value you use when calling the chime_tts.say, matches the OpenAI TTS’ entity_id.
To check the entity_id of your OpenAI TTS integration, go to:entity_id value

Hi @Nimrod_Dolev
I was using the dropdown-list for the TTS providers that only give the generic names, “OpenAI TTS” while my entity was called tts.openai_sd
Changing that fixed that, but the dropdown list apperently is not populated with the names of actually configured TTS-providers with the proper naming.
Still having a strange thing; that if I provide a voice (using the option-field for that in Chime TTS) to override the configered voice from the OpenAI integration, it will giva an error:
Error calling tts.media_source.generate_media_source_id: Invalid options found: ['voice']
I can work around that by configuring multiple OpenAI TTS instances, but perhaps good to check if you can reproduce that if you have time.
Glad it worked for you @Bikey .
the dropdown list apperently is not populated with the names of actually configured TTS-providers with the proper naming.
In the next release I will try to limit the list of TTS platforms populated to only those installed, like you suggested
if I provide a voice (using the option-field for that in Chime TTS) to override the configered voice from the OpenAI integration, it will giva an error
You can change the OpenAI voice by setting the voice parameter (not the options YAML parameter.)

I’m not sure what you mean? Either using the voice parameter in the Chime TTS integration or using it the Developer tools/Action template results in an error:not work and gives the “invalid options found” error:
Changing the voice parameter in the Integration config of OpenAI TTS does work.
So this works, but it would be nice to be able to override that for specific automations:

Hey, can anyone help me with my post over on github? I didn’t want to hijack this thread (like I have before… it is kind of a smorgesborg of things now - so I posted in Discussions so that we can find these separate issues easier) but haven’t received any views.

Chime v1.2.2 plays a series of beeps before and after the audio.
Do I need to reencode the MP3 in a different format? Another odd thing is that the audio takes at least 5 seconds to start on my Echo speaker, then the volume goes up and I hear 9 beeps, then the mp3 audio, then the TTS, then the volume goes back down, then 9 beeps
action: chime_tts.say
data:
message: The dryer is done
announce: false
tts_platform: tts.elevenlabs
volume_level: 0.5
chime_path: /config/www/custom_audio/alexa-notification.mp3
cache: true
target:
entity_id:
- media_player.man_cave
The beeps happen only if I use the volume_level param, but there is always a long lag before the audio. I have also used audio_conversion but same issue.
audio_conversion: Volume 125%
or
audio_conversion: Alexa
Update. The log shows it’s looping but eventually giving up trying to set the volume to whatever I define, for example 0.1 so that’s the beep noise.

Hey @Nimrod_Dolev , I am experiencing long delays before I hear the beep when changing the volume level, but I do not have multiple beeps like @jheirtzler has. Here are my logs:

@Nimrod_Dolev is there a way to pass instructions to the OpenAI TTS? I’m able to use openAI for TTS using another integration but would love to give it instructions (like “whisper” or “speak with urgency”, etc). Would make sense the instruction to be on your integration (instead of the openAI integration). Just not sure if that’s possible tho.
Not all audio players respect the volume set in HA, so would it be possible to add a volume setting that is applied to the generated file like pitch and speed are?

The temporary mp3 folder name is changed between the preparing audio and the chime TTS playback. The mp3 file is saved, but the media player cannot find it, so no sound is played.
snips from my debug log:
File saved to path: /media/ss ounds/temp/chime_tts/20d0d…mp3
The media player tries to playback this:
Seems like a bug truncating the first character of the playback media directory.

Update: the series of beeps when Chime TTS tries and fails to set volume_level seems to be happen only with Echo 4th gen.

I’m trying to use a Squeezebox Radio for announcements. I first used SlimProto to talk to the Squeezebox in an automation usingaction: media_player.play_mediamedia-source://tts/tts.google_translate_en_com?message=Washing+Machine+finished&language=en
but I had constant problems with the announcement being repeated (a problem which others have had too) so I decided to try Chime TTS.
