TTS / Sonos issue in 2023.5.0b1

#

there's a new method for playing TTS/announcements, but those should work just fine

hearty ibex Apr 28, 2023, 2:15 AM

#

Is the new method documented anywhere? I would be happy to try it

flat willow Apr 28, 2023, 2:22 AM

#

it's automatic, you're using it 😛

#

anything that uses announce in the play_media service call triggers it, which TTS does

#

are you using a script or automation? or have you tried just the service call by itself?

hearty ibex Apr 28, 2023, 2:47 AM

#

Ah, interesting. I did try some manual service calls (tts.cloud_say and tts.google_translate_say with the Sonos media_players as entity_ids) and they threw the same error.

I wonder if something changed in the Sonos firmware. They pushed out a 15.3 update to S2 devices on 4/18. If it was rolled out gradually, I might have just received it today.

#

shouldn't be related

#

can you clarify if you're getting an actual error in the UI when you make the service calls? the logging error is actually semi-expected

hearty ibex Apr 28, 2023, 2:51 AM

#

No error in the UI. Call Service button turns to green checkmark

#

oh weird, hold on a minute

#

i think i know what's going on, you're not crazy nor doing anything wrong 😃

hearty ibex Apr 28, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

Haha... Oh good

flat willow Apr 28, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

the error you see is a red herring, but should still be improved

#

if you have a local audio file (some short alert sound), try to play that with media_player.play_media and with announce: true

#

the problem is that TTS audio file URLs aren't resolving properly

#

sorry about that, this should fix it: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/92154

#

thanks for testing and reporting the issue 👍

flat willow Apr 28, 2023, 4:17 AM

#

ok it should be in the next beta. do me a favor and test out TTS while music is playing and let me know how it works 😉

#

(once next beta is out)

hearty ibex Apr 28, 2023, 7:26 PM

#

Will do! Thanks for hanging out here and looking into the issue so quickly

flat willow Apr 28, 2023, 7:47 PM

#

new beta just cut, please test when it's out

#

and I just put in another fix for the unnecessary error messages you were seeing, but that won't be until the next beta

hearty ibex Apr 28, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

Just installed, TTS working as before. Thanks again.

The only other weirdness I've seen with the May beta is that the logfile keeps telling me to remove the deprecated history: element from config.yaml, but when I remove it and restart, history actually (correctly?) becomes inaccessible for all entities. Graphs don't render, etc. Adding history: back to the config returns everything to normal with data intact. Should I ping bdraco?

flat willow Apr 28, 2023, 10:39 PM

#

i'd just create an issue for that

#

glad it was an easy fix

#

and again: try the TTS while music is playing. no need to snapshot/restore anymore 😃

hearty ibex Apr 28, 2023, 10:50 PM

#

Nice... I hadn't bothered doing that in my scripts, good to know it's baked in now
