Hi @madrian
I’ve just bought a google home mini, set it up using Nabu Casa, and it seems to be working - eg I can turn on and off lights using Hey Google.

How do I make it talk - I want to use it for notifications.

I notice that tts is configured so tried this from the interface;

service : tts.google_say
{“entity_id”:“media_player.living_room_speaker”,
“data”:{“message”:“May the Force be with you.”}}

But I hear nothing…

Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong?
Thx
JP

Is anyone else who used this fix now having issues getting Home Assistant to work properly? I just upgraded from either 0.83 or 0.84 (was away for a while) to 0.90 and Hass wouldn’t boot at all. After hours of tinkering I realized it was the tts component’s fault, even though there’s nothing about it in the log. If I comment it out, Hass boots, otherwise it doesn’t. If I add a “base_url” parameter to tts then it will at least boot, but then can’t find the google_say service.

I’m wondering if something in the above would have affected that, since it’s the only thing I can think of that may make my tts different from the rest of the community’s…

I’m currently running on 95.4 and have this same issue, is there any resolve to it at moment?

Has this been resovled? I am on current version (0.96.5) and I get the failed to call service problem.
