How to notify using TTS — and much more

[alainvtr]

Hi,
I’m trying to transform this rest_command to a notify :

rest_command:
tts:
url: ‘http://11.6.168.112:12101/api/text-to-speech?SiteId={{ site }}’
method: ‘POST’
headers:
content_type: ‘text/plain’
payload: ‘{{ lemessage }}’

The notify i’m trying to debug … but i’m stuck.
Could you help me ?

notify:

• name: tts_rhasspy
  platform: rest
  resource: http://11.6.168.112:12101/api/text-to-speech?SiteId={{ site }}
  method: POST
  headers:
  content_type: ‘text/plain’
  data_template:
  message: ‘{{ lemessage }}’

    can_acknowledge: true
    skip_first: false
    notifiers:
      - group_important_plus_audio
    data:
      # data for 'tts'
      language: 'en-GB'
      # data for 'telegram'
      inline_keyboard:
        # rows of buttons (array of arrays)
        - - ["Reminder off", "/ack garbage_day"]
          - ["Help", "/help garbage_day"]

Volume to 100% on TTS Notification for Google Home devices?

action: - data: volume_level: 0.7 entity_id: media_player.den_speaker service: media_player.volume_set Volume level 0.7 is 70%, so 1.0 would be 100%

Hello,

I use piper as my local tts. Now I want to install a notification which uses piper. That works, but just in English, and without the possibility to determin the voice.

notify:
  - name: piper_local
    platform: tts
    entity_id: tts.piper
    media_player: media_player.volumio_mpd
    language: 'de_DE'
    option:
      voice: de_DE-thorsten-medium

‘language’ and ‘voice’ are ignored. The relevant page is very short and does not help me any further: Notify using TTS - Home Assistant

Regards, Eckart

This thread was started four years ago - the information in it may be out of date. It might be better to start a new thread, with a link to this one to provide context if necessary.

Yeah, it’s outdated nowadays. Still a nice lesson for planning a little before realizing makes good sense. (I still use the folder structure and the overall switches.)

Leaves me saying thank you to the HA devs for implementing TTS notifications.

Nowadays I mainly use the wonderful Chime TTS which allows for “sound bits” on every media player, and much more. And Piper, although the models still lack things PicoTTS could do back in the days, like speaking dates correctly.
