Time To Share Config: Sonos TTS Announcements via script - Lemmy.world

Hi, want to share my script how you make a good tts announcement on sonos. How it works: - triggered by an automation like this - service: script.turn_on entity_id: script.jarvis_speak data: variables: mymessage: | {{ state_attr('sensor.notification_message', 'msg') }} myplayer: media_player.sonos_bedroom - the script is using an input_boolean to flip so that one announcement is done at a time, that’s why I have the “jarvis_announcement_wait” boolean - it uses "input_number.jarvis_<<room>>_volume to be able to adjust the volume per room for the announcements - it uses a little “ding” sound prior to the announcement - it uses piper and with trial end error I figured out how many word per minute “ryan” is speaking so that the script ends exactly at the time when the tts announcement has finished in case there are multiple announcements to be made per room alias: jarvis_speak sequence: - repeat: while: - condition: state entity_id: input_boolean.jarvis_announcement_wait state: "on" sequence: - delay: hours: 0 minutes: 0 seconds: 1 milliseconds: 0 - service: input_boolean.turn_on target: entity_id: - input_boolean.jarvis_announcement_wait data: {} - service: media_player.play_media data: media_content_id: /local/jarvis-chime.wav media_content_type: music announce: true extra: volume: >- {{ states('input_number.jarvis_' + myplayer | replace('media_player.','') + '_volume') }} target: entity_id: "{{ myplayer }}" - delay: seconds: 1 - service: media_player.play_media data: media_content_type: music announce: true media_content_id: >- media-source://tts/tts.piper?message={{ mymessage | replace('&', 'and') }} extra: volume: >- {{ states('input_number.jarvis_' + myplayer | replace('media_player.','') + '_volume') }} target: entity_id: "{{ myplayer }}" - delay: seconds: > {% set text = mymessage | replace('&', 'and') %} {{ (text.split(' ') | length * 60 / 150) | round(0, 'ceil') }} - service: input_boolean.turn_off target: entity_id: - input_boolean.jarvis_announcement_wait data: {} mode: queued max: 10
