RSS feeder with news items

Configuration
1

I have set up an RSS feed using the Feedreader integration.
Feedreader retrieves the latest 5 RSS messages.

What I want now is to have these messages played on a media player.
I checked the details I need via Developer Tools > Events:

  • data.title → contains the title of the news item
  • data.summary → contains the summary of the news item (can be quite long)

So I need a template sensor or a helper to store the last 5 messages.
Can anyone help me with that?

The media player should be able to play the news items in order, like:

Headline 1: Title of the latest news message
Followed by the summary of headline 1

Headline 2: Title of the second news message
Followed by the summary of headline 2

Headline 3: …

Hello Yves Soers,

Sounds like something someone may have written a blueprint for.

While you can certainly write this yourself, it’s a bit advanced.

I would suggest starting with searching the Blueprints Exchange - Home Assistant Community for similar things as a starting point, or you may luck out and find exactly what you want. Once you find something similar you can taker control of it and make it do similae things.
