Say anything to Google Home throught HTTP

al4085 · November 29, 2020, 4:48pm

Hello,

How can I pass via HTTP Post a message that will be read over Google home via a script?

I have set up a voice notification script via TTS :

alias: bienvenue
 sequence:
   - service: tts.google_translate_say
     entity_id: media_player.cuisine
     data:
       message: This is where I would like the variable message to be
       language: en

Works fine.
2) I can trigger it externally via Postman (POST, with Authorization): IPADDRESS:8123/api/services/script/bienvenue

Questions :

How can I add a message “welcome xxx” to the Postman HTTP ? JSON ? How ?
How can I “get” it in HA and use it in my script, to replace the “message” I had in yaml?

Thanks so much. Newbie here.

Thanks. New to HA
