Hi,
I am trying to get tts to say a random sentence from array of sentence with a template inside but it does not work while a solo message with the template inside or the random selection of a sentence separately does work. See also the code below.
How can I fix this?
script_test_office_speaker_say:
alias: Script Test Office Speaker Say
sequence:
- service: tts.cloud_say
data:
entity_id: media_player.office_speaker
message: >
{{ (
' Now playing playlist called BLA',
' Starting playlist called BLA'
)|random }}
# example:
# ## DOES WORK
# ' Now playing playlist called {{states("input_text.playlist_chosen_random_source")}}'
# ## DOES WORK
# {{ (
# ' Now playing playlist called BLA',
# ' Starting playlist called BLA'
# )|random }}
# ## BELOW DOES NOT WORK
# '{{ (
# ' Now playing playlist called {{states("input_text.playlist_chosen_random_source")}}',
# ' Starting playlist called {{states("input_text.playlist_chosen_random_source")}}'
# )|random }}'
