It’s me again with dumb questions probably.:wink:

I’ve loaded the blueprint to speak out if this sensor or motion sensor etc. is activated. On.

When i select which media player there is only one. It’s my fire tablet running fully kiosk. It works and speaks as it should.

Companion app is on my s23 Ultra phone.
I’m using Home Assistant Cloud as the TTS. That and Google translate are also the only two options in that selection.

I also want it to speak on my Samsung S23 Ultra. It is not a media player option. There is none other than the fire tablet.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance. I read the home assistant documents on TTS at least 6 times. :pensive:

This will have to come form someone else as I am a full local man to the core and is why I use HA. It’s probably why I develop all my own blueprints
 full local control :metal:

The only thing I would consider is HA cloud.

Hello
I want to use text to speech with Alexa player but service provider list is empty. There is an issu ?

@Sebibou91

You just need a TTS engine. If you have HA cloud it will be there but if you don’t use that you can use Piper as it is an official add on.

Go to Settings > Add-ons > click on Add-on Store > search for Piper and install it. Then once installed you can adjust your settings in the configuration tab in the Piper add-on. Once your happy then select it in the BP.

Enjoy

Hi,
I’ve attached a sonoff door switch on the garage roller door and would like to use it to notify me when the roller door is open and when it is closed/closes. Will this automation be able to alert both a “garage door open” and then a “garage door closed” alert when it is closed?

Or is there another automation suited to my use case?

Secondly, for another application
 Lets say if I try to use this for a letterbox notification. I can use a motion sensor to detect when a letter passes by it into the letterbox, and then have this automation send the announcement. Is it possible to have a persistent notification come through (say approx once an hr), and or have the ability to acknowledge the message which cancels the automation?

Or once again, is there another automation more suited to this use case?

Thank you
JK

Hi John,

Have a look at :round_pushpin: State Notifications & Actions Blueprint. It includes “Start” and “End” states with action buttons and associated actions. “Start” for when the garage is open and “End” for when the garage is closed.

I’m planning to add a recurring message option to keep reminding you until the task is done, though I don’t have a timeline for that feature yet.

That said, this blueprint should still be useful for your needs.

Hi, i’m using HAOS and i followed your instructions and even restarted Home Assistant after installing Piper (which is started), but i can’t select it in the “Text-to-Speech Service Provider” field. Did i miss anything ?

@Chartreusito

Once you installed piper go into the add on and the documentation page tab at the top. You will see the below
 there you will have to install Wyoming
 it should be auto discovered in settings > device & services

Is there a way to have the notification tell you which sensor ran the automation? I am setting this up for smoke and water sensors.

34

@RogerB1

It would be the same way as the state blueprint. I have also replied to you over on that topic. Click Here

Hi Blacky,

Thank you once again for your outstanding blueprints!

I have a question regarding a wishlist entry: Is there already a way to repeat notifications until the original state is restored? I’d like to use this feature for doors when airing rooms. For example, after the door has been open for 10 minutes, I’d like to receive push notifications every X minutes until it is closed.

Thanks again!

@xXkr13g3rXx

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes this will be added to this blueprint
 I have added it to another one of my blueprints and I just need time to add this feature to this one.

Hi Blacky! Just got a reolink doorbell, and found your blueprint - perfect! :slight_smile:

One request, the TTS integrations don’t seem to work with Alexa. Is there a way to use the “notify” action or incorporate this into the blueprint? thanks!

38

@Nuwanda

I will put this on the list to add to this blueprint.

Bonjour,
J’adore toujours autant votre automatisme
 qui m’a permis de crĂ©er un bouton virtuel pour signaler Ă  la tribu de venir dans la cuisine ! :slight_smile: mais trop trop bien ! j’adore !

Juste une petite question, peut-ĂȘtre hors sujet, j’ai un portail Ă©lectrique qui se commande bien sĂ»r, aussi avec une tĂ©lĂ©commande physique.

Est-il possible de recevoir une alerte lorsqu’il est activĂ© par cette tĂ©lĂ©commande et non pas par l’application HA ? c’est peut ĂȘtre tout bĂȘte
 mais comme je le disais, je dĂ©couvre tout doucement cette usine Ă  gaz qu’est Home assistant


Merci par avance pour une réponse apportée
 et bonne journée/nuit à vous
selon le fuseau horaire
