Nice I’ll try. This is what I currently have with Piper TTS, and it’s working.

Is it a good idea to include your voice code in your posts? I think that’s how Elevenlabs charge for usage… :grin:

No joy for me. It’s odd as it works in the VA.

This is what I have …

data:
  cache: false
  message: "{{ rep.response.speech.plain.speech }}"
  options:
    voice: 123456789
  media_player_entity_id: media_player.bedroom_speaker
action: tts.speak
target:
  entity_id: tts.elevenlabs
enabled: true

Odd for sure . Did you try without option?

OK it was my API credits! My working config:

Though for some reason I can’t get the automation to trigger it with dynamic prompts. The test works though.

alias: Elevenlabs test
data:
  cache: true
  message: This is a test.
  media_player_entity_id: media_player.bedroom_speaker
action: tts.speak
enabled: true
target:
  entity_id:
    - tts.elevenlabs_2

can you try this?

Yep it’s working now. I found my API key had a limit of 50 - I thought this was a sensible safety (alternative to “Unlimited”). However it seems like this is “Credits” or some sort of query/token count, rather than $50! I set it to unlimited as I see it’s coming off my free credits still - albeit rather quickly.
