tts not in german #473

Closed fastender closed 4 years ago

fastender commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug Sonos speaks not more German. I use TTS with speech from Amazon Polly. It is not more possible for me change the language and the voice that will be used to “speak” to Alexa (defaults are US English and ‘Joey’). I want to use German.

Expected behavior I wanted that my sonos speaks in german, after the update (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/27418#issuecomment-548813542) it speaks only in English.

my config

tts: - platform: amazon_polly voice: Marlene region_name: eu-central-1 aws_access_key_id: !secret aws_access_key_id aws_secret_access_key: !secret aws_secret_access_key

alexa_media: accounts: - email: !secret alexa_email password: !secret alexa_password url: amazon.de

System details

Additional context When I access over HA the Sonos and try to enter something for tts, I get every time en-US. But on my echo dot it speaks German.

Please note that alexa_media does not use TTS through Amazon Polly or any other TTS engine. It uses Amazon's built in Simon Says or Announce functionality.

Are you using the notify command? Are you saying it works for your dot but not for your Sonos?

Yes.

I think the problem results from the fact that I can't change en-US to de-DE.

I found another solution via NODE-Red now.
