I forked this from doughecka version that was using the older service google_say. As that version does not currently seem to be maintained, I hope this helps some people struggling to get that version working.

If anyone has any bugs/request let me know I will try to keep this blueprint updated.

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Hi Caleb,

Thank you for your efforts in providing this blueprint. It’s my first attempt at using one.
My only question is how do I go about getting the entity I want listed in your monitor sensor selector?

At the moment nothing is showing so I assume I need to create a list of what I want shown there.
I just don’t know how to create the list and where to put it.

Regards
Jonathan

This will only show up sensors in the domain Cover which is what most garage door openers are listed as. After I recoded this because my father-law wanted to use it we realized that the original blueprint is to keep announcing that you have the garage door open so I will be making a new one that will work for more of what he is wanting to do. On that one I will most likely try to code it to use other sensors as well. I just need to figure out some other stuff for split options in the blueprint systems.

Thank you so much for the blueprint, I tested and it’s working fine
Is there a way to set the volume for the target speaker before announcing the message?
