TTS message with text values based on numerical sensor

Hi all,
I am trying to get Text-To-Speech on Alexa Media Player to read out information from my weather station.

I am stuck on converting a number to a direction text, I have got similar working in template cards but I do not fully understand how to do it here.

Is there syntax I’m missing or is it not supported?

I noticed you used tabs instead of spaces in some places too. Do not do that. yaml does not like it. Spaces only.

Omg :sweat_smile:, it was just indentation. I thought it was the complete structure being wrong.
Thank you for the clarification on my mistake.

Well it was that too. You were using (% %) instead of {% %} for your statements.

Yes, that too.

I’ve managed to also get values for rain in now :slight_smile: , thank you again Tom.
