WTH is there no STT or TTS fall back when internet connectivity issues?

Hi !

This would be great if it was possible to fall back automatically to a local TTS or STT if there is an internet connectivity issue that prevents from using Nabu Casa TTS or STT.

Thx

Seriously! I ran into this yesterday, and while I prefer to use the nabucasa STT and TTS service, since it sounds better, I’d really like to be able to fallback on local whisper and pico TTS so it still at least works when the internet is down, just to toggle lights and get the time and such.

Now that we have LLM fallback, we should also have TTS and STT fallbacks.
