Tts: string + value?

Configuration
1

Hi,

i want my google home respond with a sentence containing a value. google and someone in discord got me to this solution:

  action:
      - service: tts.google_say
        entity_id: media_player.hobbyraum
        data:
          message: "hello {{ states('sensor.daylight') }} world!"

but my google home just says “hello states sensor daylight world” :frowning:

You’ll need to use data_template for that.
Also, make sure tts.google_say is the correct service, I have tts.google_translate_say.

  action:
      - service: tts.google_say
        entity_id: media_player.hobbyraum
        data_template:
          message: "hello {{ states('sensor.daylight') }} world!"
