That's not what I'm asking tho. I have

[nimble horizon]

you know what - lets talk.
what did you exactly do, when you say "set up a satellite with a speaker" ?

and what exactly do you want to accomplish? i somehow doubt "send a TTS command from HA to the satellite" is exactly, isolated, what you want to do but it's part of your attempted solution.

So I have an old rpi 1 with jabra 510 connected to it. I installed the wyoming server following this tutorial: https://github.com/rhasspy/wyoming-satellite/blob/master/docs/tutorial_2mic.md and set up the service as indicated there.
What I want to do is send a TTS command and have the satellite play/say it. Initially for debugging purposes to see if this setup works, but also for automations like announcing things on certain events.

[nimble horizon]

I'm not 100% sure if the Rpi1 can handle it, but in general - if you set it up correctly and get it to work correctly, it answers all questions that originate from it.
in short: if you manage to set it up as a mic satellite, you will get tts as well.

tts works usually without any problems, i would not worry about that. the tricky parts are more the microphones.

if you do not intent to use it as a microphone, then you are wrong with that setup anyway.

I'm not worried about the compute because it's gonna be offloaded to another machine. But what I'm asking for is a service that I can call with some text and have it played on the satellite. It appears that this is just not possible without setting up a service that would make the host (rpi) a media player.

I'm also looking for this. I think it has been requested a few times already here:
https://github.com/rhasspy/wyoming-satellite/issues/28
https://github.com/rhasspy/wyoming-satellite/issues/21

[silver moth]

Oh cool, the issue describe exactly what I want

[silver moth]

But what's the difference between both of them?

[tawny mango]

I don't think there's a difference between the issues. Both of the issue creators want to be able to send a TTS message to the satellite

[silver moth]

It's the same person who created both issues that's why I asked

But it's good to know there is demand for this feature

Hopefully someone picks it up, it shouldn't be too hard to implement ig. Or I may be wrong and an extension to the wyoming protocole would be need, we'll see
