Google tss will not say new stuff ;-)

Hi Team

Can some one give me a small hint…

Trying to setup a doorbell - got an Ikea switch (zigbee by zha) working. It activates an automation that calls a sonos script.
Works fine.

But, I can’t get sonos - google tts to say the new sentence -“some one by the door” :wink: It can only get it to say ‘Your husband coming home!’. I have been using the tts for a long time, when the windows opens. This works fine.

In the log I see this message:

Logger: homeassistant.components.tts
Source: components/tts/__init__.py:172
Integration: Text-to-Speech (TTS) ([documentation](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tts), [issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22integration%3A+tts%22))

* Error on init TTS: No TTS from google_translate for 'Your husband coming home again!'
* Error on init TTS: No TTS from google_translate for 'Some one at the door'

I have read that adding baseURL solves this problem…
I have added this:

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate
    base_url: http://192.168.2.85:8123

Samme result.
Seems like, google tts is no longer working, and the ‘old’ stuff that works is because it is cached ?

Running latest HA.

Looking forward for a hint - or to use some other tts ?

There’s currently an issue with google tts and Home Assistant, see here. Maybe that’s related to your issue.
