Fisrt sound and then the announce

Configuration
1

I want to play a dingdong and then lets Google say that the button has pushed.

I can get either the ding dong sound (mp3) or teh announce. What am I missing?

  • platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.gate_door_ding

Presumably the ‘bing bong’ is in the script? If so just add a delay after the script and before the volume set for the duration of the audio file.

Try putting a 1 or 2 second delay after the volume_set.

Edit: Never mind. Someone beat me to it.

Doesn’t it need the mp3 to be available on a location with https ?

Yes but it is.

What I usually do is delay 2 seconds then wait until media player is idle then do the TTS.

It’s also very useful if you TTS two things after each other.
The fixed delay is hard to maintain, but delay 2 seconds then wait until always work since HA needs two seconds to notice the first TTS or mp3 being played.
