SONOS TTS Script

domlen · January 15, 2017, 8:49pm

Hi, I have not tested it in the script yet, only in the dev-template view but I guess it should work. Please try:

- delay: '00:00:{{ ('0' ~ states.[where].attributes.media_duration) | reverse | truncate(2, True, '') | reverse }}'

What ist does, example 1 duration = 23, example 1 duration = 5

It ads a 0 to the to the beginning of the duration, so we get 023 (example 1) or 05 (Exemplare 2)
it reverses it to 320 or 50
it truncates it to two digits from right, so we get 32 or 50. (This is why the reverse is needed, since there is no truncate from left)
it reverses back so we finaly have 23 or 05
which then can be added to the duration 00:00:23 or 00:00:05

But again, also this only works if the duration is <=59 seconds!

Ok, I tested my idea from above right now and while the template is valid, the script failed to be parsed

- delay: '00:00:{{ ('0' ~ states.[where].attributes.media_duration) | reverse | truncate(2, True, '') | reverse }}'

Brings up:

17-01-16 10:23:34 ERROR (Thread-1) [homeassistant.util.yaml] while parsing a block mapping
in "/home/hass/.homeassistant/scripts/sonos_tts.yaml", line 26, column 9
expected <block end>, but found '<scalar>'
in "/home/hass/.homeassistant/scripts/sonos_tts.yaml", line 26, column 28

and then I tested (double quotes outside and singe quotes inside of the template)

- delay: "00:00:{{ ('0' ~ states.[where].attributes.media_duration) | reverse | truncate(2, True, '') | reverse }}"

which endet in

17-01-16 10:24:41 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Invalid config for [script]: [delay] is an invalid option for [script]. Check: script->script->say->sequence->2->delay.

Anyone any Ideas?

Gabriel_Bratescu · January 16, 2017, 8:14pm

Thanks for the quick answer.
Indeed the first answer is incorrect due to single quotes.
So, it is working fine with double quotes:
- delay: "00:00:{{ ('0' ~ states.media_player.living_room.attributes.media_duration) | reverse | truncate(2, True, '') | reverse }}"

First I got the same error (invalid config…) but I had a mistake in the script:
-delay:
- delay: {00:00:00}
So, recheck the file for typos or bad identation.

domlen · January 16, 2017, 8:49pm

@Gabriel_Bratescu It works, because you are using “media_player.living_room” directly instead of the “where” variable within the delay template.

domlen · January 20, 2017, 1:44pm

So, the issue with this

- delay: "00:00:{{ ('0' ~ states.[where].attributes.media_duration) | reverse | truncate(2, True, '') | reverse }}"

is passing over the [WHERE] variable into the template for the delay. Anybody knows how and if that works?

As long this is not solved I would recommend using just something like

       # Add a delay in a length which you think fits best for all the things you want to say over TTS
       - delay: '00:00:07'

tleilax · January 23, 2017, 8:33am

I managed to specify a dynamic delay that should be about the duration of the spoken text by the following script. Apparently the initial 1s delay is necessary for the duration in the state to be filled.

alias: Sonos Text To Speech
sequence:
  - service: media_player.sonos_snapshot
    data_template:
      entity_id: "{{ 'media_player.' ~ where }}"
  - service: tts.google_say
    data_template:
      entity_id: "{{ 'media_player.' ~ where }}"
      message: "{{ what }}"
  - delay:
      seconds: 1
  - delay: >-
      {% set duration = states.media_player[where].attributes.media_duration %}
      {% if duration > 0 %}
        {% set duration = duration - 1 %}
      {% endif %}
      {% set seconds = duration % 60 %}
      {% set minutes = (duration / 60)|int % 60 %}
      {% set hours = (duration / 3600)|int %}
      {{ [hours, minutes, seconds]|join(':') }}
  - service: media_player.sonos_restore
    data_template:
      entity_id: "{{ 'media_player.' ~ where }}"

Hope that helps.

@tleilax Awesome! Thanks!

Tonkin · January 29, 2017, 11:43am

GREAT WORK!! Is there a way to set configurations for “sonos_restore”? I find the sliding volume to the original state annoyingly slow.

By the way: Im having tons of fun with this:

curl -X POST -H "x-ha-access: {{mysecretcode}}" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d '{"where": "livingroom", "what": "Hello my friend"}' \

{% set duration = states.media_player[where].attributes.media_duration %}

does this mean you are setting your where variable to “.living_room” with the leading period? How did you manage to pass the variable into the set statement?

kylerw · February 3, 2017, 11:39pm

Okay, I was able to figure out the nuances here. I think I’ve got it. I’m using a similar format to create a recursive script to transition lights that don’t support it natively.

christian.ek · February 5, 2017, 9:36am

I might be stupid but I can’t get it to work. When i call the test_ttl script nothing happens for me.

domlen · February 5, 2017, 7:28pm

@christian.ek The new version only expects where: ‘kitchen’, since media_player. is already part of the script and templates.

christian.ek · February 7, 2017, 7:31pm

Found the error… I renamed it sonos_tts but when calling the script i used script.say

CtrlX · February 16, 2017, 7:59am

Thanks for the great script! I added some features to really make sure that the message is played only in the specific media player (unjoin first) and not to the whole group that it is connected to. On top of that I changed the volume so it wouldnt use the same volume as the speaker was set to.

Cant get this to work It complaining about invalid config. It dosnt like the automation part i think?

Could you post the hole content of your automation since the error you posted is about the automation, not about the script.

mariniertje · February 21, 2017, 12:14am

I couldn’t get it to work with the {{ where }} and {{ what }} either.
Now that I have placed the “where” and the “what” within the actual scripts, it works fine again…

Toni · February 21, 2017, 6:14pm

Maby Im doing this wrong but the hole automation is:

- service: script.turn_on
  entity_id: script.say
  data:
    variables:
      where: 'kontor'
      what: 'Hej där!'

it is just for test before I include it in some automation that I have running. I have tried include it in this one but without luck.

- alias: "Mail vattenläcka diskbänk"
  initial_state: True
  hide_entity: False
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: switch.fuktdiskbank

  action:
    - service: notify.gmailtoni
      data_template:

@Toni: This is not even not a half automation ;). If something should be automated there are two things essential: what shall be automated an when - you are totaly missing the when part. I would recommend walking through the hole automation tutorial setp by step, since this is the most essential thing within HA and home automation: Automating Home Assistant - Home Assistant
