I have the following action as part of an automation but it’s doesn’t seem to be bumping up the volume properly (50% max is what I am after). What am I doing wrong?
action:
- service: media_player.volume_set
data:
entity_id: media_player.master_bedroom_home
volume_level: '0.5'
- service: tts.google_say
entity_id: media_player.master_bedroom_home
data_template:
message: >
it's time to get up! Wake up! wake up! wake up!Try it like this, with data_template: instead of data:, and volume_level: value without quotes.
action:
- service: media_player.volume_set
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.master_bedroom_home
volume_level: 0.5
- service: tts.google_say
entity_id: media_player.master_bedroom_home
data_template:
message: >
it's time to get up! Wake up! wake up! wake up!
BINGO!!! That did it! Thank you!
Great, anytime, cheers!
This worked for me too but I can’t seem to make it go to a high volume for the notifications and then drop the volume after to a comfortable level. It keeps the volume at 0.9 which is what the announcement should be at. O
Are you able to resume the previous playing media after the TTS Message?
Can you post your config?
Only asking, because, I use Sonos which has the snapshot service available.
Try out the google notification from node-red. You can choose your announcement volume and it restores after announcement the original volume.
Hi @OM_luxbg , i like your suggestion. I would like to use an announcement when the doorbell is pressed. This needs to be at a higher volume then the regular volume. I can’t seem to find this option in my node red. I am running home assistant in supervisor mode. Do i need to add this specific function to node red? And if so, how can i do that? BTW i’m running in a docker in Raspbian.
you have to setup a variable “emitVolume” on the msg.
here you can find the detailed setup instructions. github link
You can also import to nodered this code section as a sample
