UPDATED: Now supports Alexa and Google devices.And updated to tts.google_translate_say
Blueprint to make a TTS announcement when a binary sensor goes from off to on, e.g. a doorbell sensor and to take a snapshot from a camera and send it to your official home assistant mobile app.
You can select a binary sensor, an echo device or google device to make the announcement and customise the announced message, a camera, a mobile device to receive the snapshot as a notification (either android or iOS) and customise the notification title and message.
NOTE: For amazon echo devices you require the alexa media player add-on.
You can announce to multiple devices by inputting a comma separated list or a group.

Thank you. It works great with 1 google speaker. But, I was unable to get it to work with multiple google speakers using a comma delimited list. I may be doing something wrong but the error I am getting is:

I have started having issues today, so I changed the selector back to media player and it seems to work better, but not sure if something has change with the supervisor update.
Is it possible to just send an notification to my iphone without the need of a camera?
maybe its possible to set a volume level to the selected echo devices?
so for example when my echo is at a very low volume level before the dorbell ring?
Unfortunately I can’t get the ios notifications to work. I’m actually having trouble clarifying path names in general, which seems to be the problem here. And defining what to add to the the allowlist as well. Any input would be appreciated for my pi installation.
this does not work for me. I get an error that alexa devices cannot be found, which makes sense because I dont have any. I left the alexa device field blank and only filled in the google device as I am attempting to cast to a chromecast only, it does not appear to skip the Alexa part…?
could I play a locally hosted mp3 instead of TTS? I would like to just play a simple doorbell chime,
instead of just having the Google Speaker say “Ding Dong!”
Funny note: I had a battle getting the MP3 to work here on some other doorbell solution.
But the Wife wanted the TTS Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong voice back…
She finds it funny and now opens the door with a big smile
Actually, same here. The kids find it actually fun to keep hearing the TTS ding dong. I managed to solve my problem with a wireless ESP Relay. Just ring the normal door Gong trough the relay on button press. The TTS ding dong is still played though.
