TTS on a separate raspberry pi

Hey everyone,

I have hassio running on an rpi3, and also on my network I have a separate rpi3 running stretch. I have the second rpi connected to a monitor and I initially was planning on using it to run MagicMirror, but now I’m thinking I just want to use it to display one of my lovelace views and use it as a media player (with tts, if possible). What would be the best way to integrate it into home assistant as a media player? The monitor has a built in speaker and I have a mic that I was planning to hook up to it, but I’d also like to be able to have some automated speech output.

easiest is probably to use mpd. that’s what I did
