How to use media_id in Assist Satellite

Configuration
1

Hi,

I want to play a sound on my Voice Assistant Preview device when a certain event happens. I’ve found the “Assist Satellite” → “Announcement” action which takes a media_id to play a sound instead of talking, however I have no idea what to enter in that media_id field.

Since I haven’t found any example documentation for it, is anybody able to help me out on how to use the media_id field to play a sound here?

Thanks a lot.

I had the same question…

I tried playing a music file on my Voice Preview device and using the Developer Tools → States page to see what it was playing, but it doesn’t report the media/content information.

So I played a music file on one of my Google cast devices, which I know will show state information for the media that’s playing. The reported values were URLs for my local HA instance and a path to the local file, like this:

If you have media stored in config/www:

http://IP_ADDRESS:8123/local/media_file.mp3

If you have media stored in media:

http://IP_ADDRESS:8123/local/media/media_file.mp3

Those URLs work for both the preannounce_media_id and the media_id.
