Hello,
I’m not able to find media_player.vlc_telnet
I have installed the VLC add but the only entity I could found is VLC update
After installing the add-on it will find a new integration which you need to integratie
I always have the message Impossible to connect
Not sure why but I’m not able to upload image anymore
You can’t upload images at the moment because the forum is still loading the profile pictures after the forum upgrade.
I’m not sure what’s wrong with the vlc media player integration. You should be able to use the same mediaplayer as you want to send the message with picture to as well.
still not able to load pictures
Not sure I have understood.
Do you mean I could avoid to use vls media player integration?
I’m not saying you should avoid it, but if you are unable to set enable the integration, it might be a work around.
How?
could you kindly edit your original script to work with google home without vls media player integration?
thanks
No changes to the script are required. Just use the same media_player as you want to display the message on as dummy_player.
So, what I posted here
Would then become:
dinner_ready:
alias: "TTS with picture when dinner is ready"
icon: mdi:food
sequence:
- alias: "Call the script with the additional data as script variables"
service: script.turn_on
target:
entity_id: script.google_home_tts_screen
data:
variables:
dummy_player: media_player.office_hub
target: media_player.office_hub
large_text: DINNER!
small_text: Quick, before it gets cold
picture_url: http://10.0.0.5/local/pictures/food.jpg
- alias: "Send the TTS service call to the dummy player"
service: tts.google_cloud_say
target:
entity_id: media_player.office_hub
data:
message: Dinner is ready!

may I use the service tts.google_translate_say as well?
I tried it and it works 
but speaking with a strange foreign accent 
where I could set the language of tts.google_translate_say ?
thanks again
I have an off topic stupid but relevant for me question.
By using Nabu Casa I still need to Integrate Google Cloud for the tts.google_cloud_say service?
You can use whatever tts service you want, what I posted was just an example

I would just suggest to add an additional condition to allow the execution of the automation only if the time elapsed since the last time the automation was activated is more than a certain time (e.g 600 seconds).
This is to prevent an automation from being activated several times in a row over a period of time of your choice.
This avoids possible status bounces that are possible for various reasons or for example that the automation redeems if you go back to get something you forgot and go out again (from https://henriksozzi.it/2021/05/posizione-delle-persone-con-home-assistant/)
condition:
- condition: time
after: "17:00:00"
before: "21:00:00"
weekday:
- mon
- tue
- wed
- thu
- fri
- condition: template
value_template: >-
{{ (as_timestamp(now()) -
as_timestamp(state_attr('automation.Dad_Leaving_Kids_School',
'last_triggered') | default(0)) | int > 600)}}
Hi, when I try to create a new script using your code, I get this message:
Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘google_home_tts_screen’]
Can you please help?
Did you paste the entire thing in the GUI in the script YAML editor?

Does this work in developer tools > templates?
No.
I have the same error message
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "NoneType") to str
but it worked in the past
