if you don’t hear anything. after service call. check the setting input select for your speaker.
no, i cant call the service, because i got Invalid JSON
show me how you post then I can see. Mine with the one I post valid.
{
“call_greeting”: 1,
“call_introduction”: 1
}
paste then click somewhere out side where you paste json then will show valid json, press call service
dont know what is wrong, i cant call the service
Check from second post of janet (the good place). There are example the service call available. try from what available there.
sometime it just because of double quote " in english language. if you call more than 1 call the last call don’t need ,
Check from the example and how to on second post
thank you, i managed to get it working, enter the text manually, im not in home, so i cant listen in the media players, but i get the notification, it should be a easy way to call the services, maybe in the frontend
You need two spaces on the begging of each line that starts with "
If you see that he has automation provide to make Janet speaks ramdomly. So you can use from his automation or create what you want.
sorry to keep bothering, i managed to call the service, i get the notification but i dont hear anything, try all the media_players
if you can show how your config for janet packages for input_select: and script for speech_engine.
These two files will match each other for the media_player selected.
Also how is your media_player connected to HA, or do you have tts in your configuration?

- click on the 3 dots from your media player you will see text to speech. if support then you can use that media player.
- check from script speech_processing / at the - service what tts do you put?
yes google home supports tts this is the script speech_processing

Mine I use his old speech_engine which i have to state the entity_id that match from input_select.

Great piece of work @Lentron
I’m looking for a strategy to move all my notifications (text and TTS) over to Janet and am wondering whether it is best to move all templates I currently have in automations and scripts entirely to Janet as skills or rather use the CustomMessage.
I have larger templates e.g. for looping over all entities in a battery_group to let me know of any batteries that are running low. Would I create a new skill like this in the janet_speech_engine script:
{%- macro check_low_batteries() -%}
{%- for ... -%}
...
{%- endfor -%}
{%- endmacro -%}
And then invoke it like this in the automation:
action:
- service: script.janet_speech_engine
data:
check_low_batteries: 1
Or rather using the CustomMessage like this:
action:
- service: script.janet_speech_engine
data_template:
CustomMessage: >
{%- macro check_low_batteries() -%}
{%- for ... -%}
...
{%- endfor -%}
{%- endmacro -%}
@geoffrey , thankyou for your feedback. As to your question, I think it would be great for the community if you’re willing to add your automations to the Janet Skills. This way everyone can benefit from the automations you made. If you’d like I can add you to the Github, so you can add these skills yourself.
I haven’t added new skills in a while already, but there is still much room for improvement. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
