Googling for hours but no fix for me. I’ll preface this with my understanding of how tts works. Correct me if I’m wrong here. When I call the tts service with some text its sent out to google who converts it to a sound file then is sent back to home assistant who then sends it to the media player, in my case google homes/minis. From reading the homes assistant page it seems most problems stem from using ssl and certificates to secure our remote connections to hass. The google home will not accept the file sent with the self signed certificate. In this case you set a a base url option under tts in your config.yaml file which is just the non-secured local ip address (http:your.local.ip.address). So now when you send out the sound file the google home/mini accepts it.
My problem is that old phrases that I input into the service work and google home replays the already cached file but new sayings I input to the service do not work. Any ideas. Here is some relevant info from my config
Im on hassbian Home Assistant 0.78.0
