16

Im also having this problem.

17

and here: 0.113: Automations & Scripts, and even more performance!

widespread indeed, no response yet, so we’ll have to sit this out for now (or downgrade )

And lose those fantastic scripting improvements? :scream:

19

only a small step to 113.1 for the time being :wink: still great scripting there

20

I don’t think that’s likely.
Klogg is already pushing the 0.113.2 scripting environment !
:rofl:

Absolutely!
But a couple of small bugs crept in and one in particular was really hurting me :wink:
All fixed in 113.2 so yeah, Mutt, I am indeed a pusher advocate for 113.2 :joy:

Ah, I was wondering what happened! I’m having the same issue!

24

Interestingly if you remove the spaces in the service call TTS works correctly. I’m going to leave things as they are as hopefully a fix is not too far away…

25

Hopefully yes. Hasn’t been any response from the dev team yet though…

26

same issue since update, quotes dont help

27

Same issue. It also happens to me with the accents. In previous version worked fine.

28

Wife 2.0 is about to kill me because google. I will have to disable it until fixed.

Thanks for the tip that hyphens can be used between words in lieu of spaces, and Google TTS by default doesn’t pronounce them. I was able to modify the script all my TTS calls make to work around this issue for now. Using regex_replace, I just modify the “say” data parameter contents that my audio_announce script takes as its input…

audio_announce:
  alias: House Announcement - Speak Message
  sequence:
  - data_template:
      cache: false
      entity_id: media_player.ha_announcements
      language: en-uk
      message: '{{ say |regex_replace(find='' '',replace=''-'') }}'
    service: tts.google_translate_say
  mode: single

Hi everybody! It is not just spaces which are spelled wrong! I have the same issue with (german) umlauts (?) “ä, ö ü” :frowning: My wife is killing me :smiley:

I have the same issues:

  1. tts is saying %20
  2. Wife is about to kill me
    If there is a fix for either, please send it here ASAP… Don’t want to give up the wife or Google Home.
