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

{% 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 }}"
scripts/test_tts.yaml
test_tts:
alias: Test for TTS
sequence:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id: script.say
data:
variables:
where: 'media_player.kitchen'
what: 'Test.'@christian.ek The new version only expects where: ‘kitchen’, since media_player. is already part of the script and templates.
Found the error… I renamed it sonos_tts but when calling the script i used script.say

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.

entity_id: script.say
data:
variables:
where: 'kontor'
what: 'Hej där!'Could you post the hole content of your automation since the error you posted is about the automation, not about the script.
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…
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.

what: 'Hej där!'@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
As you can see, I have not quite got the hang of this yet 
I will have second look at the getting started 
It was not mention to be a full automation just something simple i could manually trigger from the frontend.
What about the following automation? This automation works fine without the last sonos part. Here im trying to send a tts message to one sonos speaker “media_media_player.kontor” after 2 email has been sent.
- alias: "mail water leak"
initial_state: True
hide_entity: False

Can you paste your script code aswell? Do you get an error message?

So I think the script is ok.
whats on line 163 in your configuration.yaml
Dear all,
If you can also help me with this related issue:
https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/6424
Thank you a lot in advance
I just had a quick look at your config and wondering if you’re asking for all 3 sensors to trigger before the automation runs. Have you tried with just one entity_id to see if that works?
I’m getting:
voluptuous.error.MultipleInvalid: offset "0:0:0" should be format 'HH:MM' or 'HH:MM:SS'
when the dynamic delay is calculated.
Any idea?
It’s getting 0:0:0 for the duration instead something like 00:00:35. It would be helpful to see your configuration to see why it’s getting nothing for the duration.
here you go. Please let me know if you need more.
