Like I picked this Google Home/ Speaker in my automation beginning with a happy mood,
*
Then I want to type something for it to just say that sentence.
Like WTH I can’t just click and do it? And it’s Not even clickable. That means it can’t do nothing, like at all???
*
I mean I’ve type something in the HA dashboard, and the speaker just works.
Also I have seen people in YouTube doing this TTS.
*
Now Yes I did do a search and found some TTS and that is way-to-dxxx Unacceptably complicated.
*
The Google home itself has no problem setting up a routine that speaks, like a breeze. So folks you can make it happen, right?
Let’s make the earthlings’ dream come true.
What you request would be a device automation for the media_player component for TTS.
I think that would be a great addition!
I use an automation that calls a script like this one:
back_yard_motion:
sequence:
- service: tts.amazon_polly_say
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.google_mini
message: >
<speak>
Motion detected in
<break time="0.1s"/>
Back Yard
</speak>
You are able to do this but with the call service. Calling the TTS service. I agree though that using the media player and calling an action of TTS would be nice
OMG!
That is brilliant!
It’s working like a charm!
