Hi peeps,
I want to construct a full string BEFORE sending them to a tts, because my google speakers are very inconsistent lately (they start late, they start tts the second part before the first one is finished and so on
I tried the delay option, the waking them up just before action, the wait template the ‘… (my sentence)’ trick but nothing is satisfying
In need sth like a string attach command based on randomization.
To (hopefully make it more clear): I want to have an ‘hello’ then an ‘i want to inform you about’ and then the statechange or sth other
I use templates, cause I want to have my speakers action based on other sensors like presence and so …
template_begroeting_tts:
alias: template_begroeting_tts
sequence:
- service: tts.reversotts_say
data_template:
entity_id: "{{ entity_id }}"
message: >-
{% if now().strftime('%H')|int < 12 -%}
. . . Goede morgen. . .
{%- elif now().strftime('%H')|int >= 12 and now().strftime('%H')|int < 17 -%}
. . . Goede middag. . .
{%- else -%}
. . . Goede avond. . .
{%- endif %}
#language: "nl"
cache: true
then a randome inform sentence:
template_notificatie_random_tts:
alias: template_notificatie_random_tts
sequence:
- service: tts.reversotts_say
data_template:
entity_id: "{{ entity_id }}"
message: >-
{{ [". . . Mag ik er beleefd op wijzen dat . . . ",
". . . sorry dat ik u even dien te storen maar . . . ",
". . . ik laat u weten dat",
". . . Even ter herinnering dat",
". . . Ik ontvang de melding dat",
". . . Even ter herinnering dat",

". . . een gebruiker vroeg mij een actie dus . . . ",
". . . ik informeer u even dat"] |random }}
#language: "nl"
cache: true
- delay: "{{ wachttijd}}"
and then the actual information (part of an automation that called the two scripts above and then : )
- service: tts.reversotts_say
data:
entity_id: media_player.allespiekers
message: ". . . . . de Praktijk modus werd uitgeschakeld"
cache: true
any idea’s like string + string or someting like string = .appendstring ??
thanks !
