I can't get this to work. Alexa complains, says: Sorry, text to speech can only be called with the notify dot Alexa underscore media service. Please see the Alexa underscore media wiki for details.

@al-one Is this related to https://github.com/hasscc/hass-edge-tts/issues/33?

[wptracy]

I deleted google_translate, but it still didn't work. tts:

• platform: google_translate

[rany2]

In entity_id replace media_player with notify.alexa_media.

[wptracy]

Like this?

@wptracy Could you check these links:

• https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player/wiki/FAQ#ive-just-upgraded-now-tts-isnt-working
• https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player/wiki/Configuration%3A-Notification-Component

It appears that this is a change in alexa_media_player

[rany2]

Like this?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the links I sent above match the issue you're facing.

[rany2]

voice: Eric (neural)

P.S. your voice is invalid. It should be en-US-EricNeural.

[wptracy]

This is in my automation, and it works.

service: notify.alexa_media_william_s_office_echo_dot data: message: Shelly Flood Detected Water

I replaced entity_id: notify.alexa_media.william_s_office_echo_dot with entity_id: notify.alexa_media_william_s_office_echo_dot And Alexa doesn't say anything.

service: tts.edge_tts_say data: entity_id: notify.alexa_media_william_s_office_echo_dot message: >- You can replace this text with any text you wish.

I'm sorry but I don't think anyone here might be able to help you but there is also this thread with people with similar issues: https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player/issues/1683

[wptracy]

I changed voice and tried again. Alexa still complains.

Text to speech tts:

• platform: google_translate

• platform: edge_tts language: en-US-EricNeural # Default language or voice (Optional)

[wptracy]

Where is you find the acceptable voice like en-US-EricNeural Is there a list?

[rany2]

I honestly haven't use HASS in a while (I only maintain the edge-tts library which this uses) but the list is accessible from https://github.com/hasscc/hass-edge-tts/blob/main/custom_components/edge_tts/tts.py#L24 or https://speech.platform.bing.com/consumer/speech/synthesize/readaloud/voices/list?trustedclienttoken=6A5AA1D4EAFF4E9FB37E23D68491D6F4 (either ShortName or Name would work)

[wptracy]

This was working all along. I just didn't know how to use is. These are the currently supported media plays for Home Assistant. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/media_player/ Currently only supported on Sonos, Spotify, MPD, Kodi, Roon, Owntone, Squeezebox and Universal.

The Edge TTS card appears in the Media TTS Card. It plays on supported devices.

[rany2]

So this is solved?

[wptracy]

yes
