Guys.
I have just started to play with a M5Stack Echo but as i already knew the speaker is not great. I see Smart Home Junkie got his to work with a Google speaker. Anyone know how to do this with a Alexa Echo Dot?
You would just change the service call used in on_tts_end:
The exact configuration will depend on the TTS service you use with Alexa. For Alexa Media Player it should be something like:
...
on_tts_end:
- homeassistant.service:
service: notify.alexa_media_YOUR_ECHO_HERE
data:
message: !lambda 'return x;'
data:
type: announce
....
Keep in mind that this is still cloud-dependent and there will likely be a noticeable delay. Amazon does not allow local casting like the Google home devices do.
Hi, Thank you for the reply
I am seeing an error and have tried various different things.
The error.

Does this work as is? I added this to the code you provided, but it’s not working.
