Msg.payload unusable now for to create action node data field in nodered with latest edge tts v 0.7.2

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

sincce the update to the new HACS integration Microsoft Edge TTS v0.7.2.
I can not use a msg.payload to send tts text to an action node with edge tts

I did create in the version before a node in nodered:

with makeMSG:

 msg.payload ={
    data: {
        message:'Nood Red is opnieuw opgestart'
    },
   };
return msg;

and do send this to an action node to speak.
and in the action node data field:

{
    "entity_id": [
        "media_player.google_home_overloop",
        "media_player.nest_zithoek"
    ]
}

I know I do need to change the entity_id now in media_player_entity_id
This is not possible anymore in the latest new version v0.7.2
Giving error:

name: "HomeAssistantError" message: "required key not provided @ data['message']" stack: string HomeAssistantError: required key not provided @ data['message'] at getErrorData (/data/node_modules/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/dist/common/errors/inputErrorHandler.js:54:13) at inputErrorHandler (/data/node_modules/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/dist/common/errors/inputErrorHandler.js:74:38) at ActionController._InputOutputController_preOnInput (/data/node_modules/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/dist/common/controllers/InputOutputController.js:69:51)
Any ideas? Or is it just a bug?

I did return to v0.1.0

In the action node, do you have Block Input Overrides enabled?

I think it is more than that. That looks like the legacy (old) say action, the component was recently switched to the new speak action.

old

action: tts.google_translate_say
data:
  entity_id: media_player.kitchen
  message: "May the force be with you.

new

action: tts.speak
target:
  entity_id: tts.example
data:
  media_player_entity_id: media_player.kitchen
  message: "May the force be with you."

So to send in the new format would be something like.

{
    "action": "tts.speak",
    "target": {
        "entity_id": "tts.edge_tts"
    },
    "data": {
        "media_player_entity_id": [ "media_player.kitchen", "media_player.kitchen" ],
        "message": "May the force be with you."
    }
}

No.

Your right I know and I did change that also
If I do the totall message into the action node it is working. But I like to put the message separate from a function node

In your export, the first action node is connected to the second action node instead of the function node. Also, in your screenshot, the “data” field starts with {, but that opening brace is missing in the exported flow.

What an unbelievable stupid mistake.
On my screen it showed:

So I didn’t see that node 2 was connected straight to node 4 and missing node 3.
It is working now. THANKS!!

It took me 2 days to find out :smiling_face:
My apologize.
