Combine alert with tts

Configuration
1

Can anybody give me an example which combines alert with tts. Is it possible? Or can alert be only used with notification services?

I have the same question! Did you figure anything out @fgabriel ?

You can add a second service to the automation to call a script or play a message:

automation:
  - alias: FanOn
    trigger:
      platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.furnace
      above: 2
    action:
      service: notify.mypushbullet
      data_template:
        title: "Furnace fan is running"
        message: "Fan running because current is {{ states.sensor.furnace.state }} amps"
      service: script.turn_on
      entity_ip: script.sonos_tts
      data:
        variables:
          where: 'living_room'
          whar: "Fan running because current is {{ states.sensor.furnace.state }} amps"

That will call out the automation everytime the value is above 2. So TTS will speak out every sensor update.
So you will have to introduce an input boolean which will go off. And if you put it up - than there is no more need in alert component as it’s just easier to add notification service in the rule…
Something like

- alias: Kids Notify Humidity
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.humidity_158d00017140xx
    below: 30
  condition: 
  - condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.notify_kids_humidity
    state: 'off'
  - condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.rules_away
    state: 'off'
  - condition: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.rules_sleeping
    state: 'off'
  action:
  - service: mqtt.publish
    data: 
      topic: "exchange"
      payload: "kidshumidity" 
  - service: notify.telegram
    data_template:
      message: "Low Humidity {{ trigger.to_state.state }}"
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.vannaya
      volume_level: 1.0
  - service: tts.google_say
    entity_id: media_player.vannaya
    data:
      message: " Low humidity in kids room"
  - service: homeassistant.turn_on
    entity_id: input_boolean.notify_kids_humidity

- alias: Kids Notify Humidity reset
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.notify_kids_humidity
    to: "On"
    for:
      hours: 2
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0 
  action:
    service: homeassistant.turn_off
    entity_id: 
    - input_boolean.notify_kids_humidity
