Speech Parser script to extract entity Id information into readable form for Alexa or Google Assistant TTS

I have updated the program with a global search and replace to amend the final parse. This can be used to translate the language of any of the sensors , or simply to refine the final output

Updated with the notify option in the current version of alexa media player

Hi thanks for the really useful app.
I am at a mm from having it working

I see in debug that everything is correctly parsed but at the end the speech is sent to a destionation “none”

I also see in the code your comment that the TTS voice is set as

    self.call_service("alexa_media/update_last_called")                    #
    TTS_voice = self.get_state("sensor.last_alexa")

Clearly last alexa for me is set to “none” and not the last invoked alexa (I am trying right now with alexa mobile app )
what could be wrong?

Thanks

Ensure you have a working TTS with Echo Devices (Alexa) as Media Player - Testers Needed

Then simply replace TTS_voice = self.get_state(“sensor.last_alexa”) with

TTS_voice = “the actual name of the device”

There have been a number of improvements in Echo Devices (Alexa) as Media Player - Testers Needed since I wrote this.

check this for last sensor https://github.com/keatontaylor/alexa_media_player/wiki

If you only have 1 alexa then the above is not required just code the name

Hi thanks for the Quick reply.
I have the Alexa component installed .
I have more two Alexa at home .
Shall i choose One?
Or perhaps duplicate the call to all.

Last night while testing i was doing It from my mobile using the Alexa app: Is the feedback to app instead of device not supported ?

TX again

Ensuure the Alexa component is working . My App is simply a parse to generate text to for the alexa App to speak

The debug looks fine just needs the the Alexa name

I use the last alexa sensor to ensure the correct alexa responds to the trigger. You can hard code the alexa name to test , then work on the last alexa sensor

Yes. That Is my Plan :slight_smile:
Just the last step seems not working (last Alexa search)

Success! Now to understand why last Alexa Is not picked up

I can’t understand how to use it.
I create a dumb bulb, but where I must insert the script “SpeechParser”?

This is quite an old script . If your not using Appdaemon try this .

Good, I will check it.
Thank you.
