hi,
node red not discovery the service alexa_tts.

It’s “notify” now. check out the the following link
[Echo Devices (Alexa) as Media Player - Testers Needed]
Some example with node red and Alexa? Cause I don ‘t find the service in node red also I’d i’ve added this component in home assistant
This is in the data because it was cut off in the picture

Try to delete double quotations “ and retype double quote " again.

Just add a switch node before.
Set it to delete the msg.payload
Is this possible using node-red automatons?
I don’t see why not, but I don’t use node-red… yet. I’m considering doing so, so if you experiment and it does work, please report back. 
Thanks Dixey, trying it now.
@Dixey are you in the US?
I’ve got something that says it has been called, but my echo isnt speaking, so i’m trying to figure out if it location restricted.
just need someone to test to see it it works.
My call service node looks like this, and i’ve just used an inject timestamp node (changed to on) to activate. I can see the service has been called, but get no sound. If i change it announce she speaks but just says what is in the brackets (as expected)
On the Alexa.Traffic.Play sequence, make sure you have already plugged into your Amazon Alexa account; Settings, Traffic, your home and your destination addresses.
yup. already have that I ask alexa about weather and traffic all the time. I’ve tried alex.joke.play, alexa.weather.play and alexa.funfact.play but still she says nothing. lol
I’ve tried to call a tunein station via media play, but getting an API error:
These work for me:

Hallo,
With the info above i’m able to call the service with no errors… however echo is silent
Any hint?
I’m trying to have Alexa reading a Test message
Thanks
Matteo
Edit: I solved by myself, i was connected to the wrong amazon domain (amazon.com instead of amazon.it)
This got me running, thanks!
Thank you! I’ve had the wrong url all this time.
Thank you!! this helped me
Anyone managed to output TTS via Alexa? I tried both Node-Red and via Automation but nothing works…
