I seen in some shared automations that people are using “script.voice_notify” . What is it exactly and how is it works?
Maybe it is a different topic, but can I use Alexa for voice notifications? E.g. notify me (without asking) if the battery in my device is low.
For example where I seen “script.voice_notify” used:
- service: script.voice_notify
data_template:
value1: "Attention! {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} level is: {{ trigger.to_state.state }}%."

You can use that script for voice notifications using any supported media_player
. Unfortunately, Alexa does not support notifications (yet).
The script is on this page in the repository you linked to…
https://github.com/skalavala/smarthome/blob/master/packages/notify.yaml
He’s using ifttt for his notifications.

Wondering if I could connect a bluetooth speaker to my computer and using gstreamer via that speaker for voice notifications. I am running HA in a Ubuntu virtual machine under Hyper V.
Any of you using voice notificaions? What do you use? Thanks for sharing!
