I had a problem recently where ChimeTTS was playing a chime, then didn't speak anything. The problem ending up being that I hadn't set a TTS Platform.

This happened because I was using a template in the message, so when I entered that in, it replaced the the UI view with a YAML view, and so I simply forgot to set it.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think it would be good to have some default settings for the integration. For example, TTS platform. Maybe it would make sense for other settings to be defaults as well. The platform though may be a good start.

Describe alternatives you've considered

In the future, I probably won't forget to specify it.

Hi @JonLaliberte, thanks for the suggestion.

Setting a default TTS platform will only work in cases where a user has at least one platform configured - but I agree that it makes sense to have a default fallback.

I solved this by calling chime tts from my own script and passing the desired parameters to the script. For the parameters that are relevant to me, I have stored default values ​​in the script, which should be used if a parameter is empty or if the default value is desired

I have added support for setting default ‘tts_platformand defaultoffset` values via the configuration.
