I see there is a fix coming in 0.78.2 or 0.79 but i dont want to upgrade to them as i use Node Red and the api_password wont work with the new Auth.

Also i see that there is problems with Deconz and Google cast on the latest versions.

Any Help Thanks.

@cameron if you search on Discord you will get all teh answers you want about the TTS issue. Also donā€™t be afraid to upgrade the api password and auth are non breaking changes, they even mentioned that in the release notes.

Thanks @dshokouhi
I found this on Discord and it took me to this

Iā€™ll have to wait and updated to 0.78.3 to get Google TTS fix.

So Iā€™ve read through Discord and GitHub all morning on this issue but am as confused as I was at the start. I see the GTTS token has to be bumped top 1.1.2 in the google_token.py file but I am unsure how one actually gets to that file or am I wasting my time and I just need to wait til the next update comes out??

Use wget or whatever d/l tool you need and grab this https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/files/2406996/gtts_token.zip and put it in your custom_components folder. Unzip it and it will pull out 2 folders. Restart HA and youā€™re off to the races with working TTS until 78.3 comes out and fixes this. Enjoy!

I can confirm that the fix from here works. The process I followed on Hassbian to fix this was;

cd /srv/homeassistant
sudo python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
sudo nano /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gtts_token/gtts_token.py

Delete and add in the new text as shown in the link provided, reboot you Pi, fixed.

Awesome, thanks so much for that info. TTS back up and working like a gem!!

Time for a beer I think!

Thanks Guys
That works great :+1::beer::beer:

I used the add to custom_components way. @TheFuzz4.:grin:

11

What issues are you seeing with deconz?

12

Iā€™ve verified that with 78.3 that my TTS is back to working as it should. Donā€™t forget that once you upgrade to remove those tts folders that were unpacked from that zip if you used that method.

Looks like Google Translate changed some stuff. Fix of gtts-token seems to be worked on: https://github.com/Boudewijn26/gTTS-token/pulls
