TTS Down Since 0.98

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Ever since version 0.98 my Google Home’s have lost their voice.
They control volume, make the startup tone but never say anything.
Most of my automations are in Node-Red but I can’t trigger voice manually from the device cards either.
I’ve removed the Cast integration and re-added it.
I’ve removed the TTS from my configuration, restarted it, re-added it, restarted it with no luck.

I don’t see any useful log entries coming up when attempting TTS, so I’m kind of at a loss…

Any ideas? Thanks.

What did you update from?

3

From HASS.IO.
Running on Ubuntu VM.

Sorry I meant what version did you update from.

Oh np, I think I’ve been on every Major and Minor release.
Whatever the last 0.97 version was.

The reason I asked, I saw some change in TTS in a recent version, but I don’t think it was 0.98. So it is probably not relevant if it was working for you in 0.97.

I wish I had better documentation to prove it was working in 0.97.
I’m never home to hear them go off.
It could have happened on the tail end of 0.97, I hate that I don’t have a good track on this.

Apart from checking the release notes for the last few releases, I can’t offer any more sorry.

Can’t you simply downgrade and try if that resolved the issue? Google TTS is still running smoothly here on 98.4

I think the change that Nick is thinking of was when service: tts.google_say became service: tts.google_translate_say but that was a few major versions ago, not between 0.97.x and 0.98.x

Again a few versions ago, I changed from using an open router port to HA cloud and in doing so it broke Google TTS until I added a base_url to the Google TTS config.

eg:

tts: # Text to speech
  - platform: google_translate
    base_url: http://192.168.0.14:8123

Since doing that it fixed my TTS, but like I say, this wasn’t a result of 0.98.x, it was a while ago now. It could be worth a try adding a base_url to the IP address of your HA machine.
