TTS update

Configuration
57

erm… I don’t know why, but it seems to be working again after I remove base_url from the config. Will monitor for few more days keeping my finger cross.

@dennisaion, I believe it depends on your system. In mine, I am using Raspberry Pi 3 + Raspbian Lite and install it using sudo pip3 install homeassistant (not on virtual env).

Basically, this is what I did…

  1. Install VLC: sudo apt-get install vlc-nox

  2. Put this in your configuration.yaml

    media_player:
    platform: vlc
    name: VLC

    tts:
    platform: google
    cache: true
    cache_dir: /tmp/tts
    time_memory: 300

Then reboot your system: sudo reboot

To make use of it in your automation, put this under your action…

  action:
    - service: tts.google_say
      data:
        message: "Hello World"

If it is not working, make sure you are not using SSL and remove the base_url under the http component (for the time being).
