Unifi Protect camera: failing to get Media Player working

Configuration
1

Dear community,

So the Unifi Protect integration adds a Media Player entity for each camera, but I’ve been completely unable the get any sounds out of them (TTS, wav file, Music Assistant, …).

My cameras are AI Pro, some with Vision Enhancer. Speakers works fine when sending audio through mic.

Does anyone have this working and can share tips? Thanks!!

Logs?

There’s nothing showing in my logs (core or audio logs)… speaker just stays silent. Would you have any other troubleshooting tips?

Thanks!

Not sure how you are trying to do it but this works for me to play an mp3 when the G4 doorbell is pushed

alias: Notify if Front Doorbell pushed Halloween
description: ""
triggers:
  - entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.doorbell_doorbell
    from: "off"
    to: "on"
    trigger: state
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: media_player.play_media
    data:
      media_content_type: music
      media_content_id: http://192.168.1.40:8123/local/sounds/halloween_doorbell_sound2.mp3
    target:
      entity_id:
        - media_player.doorbell_speaker

and this script for TTS

sequence:
  - data:
      entity_id: media_player.doorbell_speaker
      message: Hello
    action: tts.cloud_say
alias: Doorbell Say Hello
mode: single

Thanks; I’ve tried wrapping it into an automation, with this action:

action: media_player.play_media
metadata:
  title: 9000g.wav
  thumbnail: null
  media_class: music
  children_media_class: null
  navigateIds:
    - {}
    - media_content_type: app
      media_content_id: media-source://media_source
data:
  media_content_id: media-source://media_source/local/9000g.wav
  media_content_type: audio/x-wav
target:
  entity_id: media_player.ai_pro_speaker

but to no avail… silence throughout :frowning:

The automation will have trace data after it has been triggered. That may give some clues.
