TTS doesn't work on all Alexa devices

[JStimmel92]

I’m trying to create Voice to Text announcement to Alexa/Echo in HA though the announcement will only work on one Alexa device.

I’ve tried using “everywhere” though still doesn’t work.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome JStimmel92!

Have you checked the „Do not disturb“ button? type: announce only works if dnd is off.

See this.

Alexa TTS Everywhere Group

You have to use type: announce with any media player entity that alexa considers a speaker group, including media_player.everywhere. Using type: tts will not work. Notification Component - Functionality If you do not want to the announcement sound, you can use type: tts with a list of media_player entities: service: notify.alexa_media data: message: This is my message data: type: tts target: - media_player.1 - media_player.2 - media_player.3
