📣 This is a script that can use any of the 11 integrated TTS Platforms in Home Assistant to send a message to a media player. Some will require Google Type Speakers, some will require Non-Google type speakers.

These integrations are listed here. Please refer to these pages for care and feeding of the *tts_say method you choose. ⛓ https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#text-to-speech

This blueprint WILL NOT set-up TTS for you. You will be given the opportunity to add the incorrect options that will NOT allow your TTS to function. Your best road to success will be to add a TTS session with UI, and only after that is successfully talking to you should you take the languages and options that work there and apply them in this Blueprint. The safest thing to do other than that is to start with the basic sonfiguration for the TTS_say integration that you are using and add options one at a time.
The very basic requirements are for you to provide the *tts_say method that you have installed and tested, the entity that you want to send it to, and the message you want to send. Beyond that likely involves trial and error that may best be done in the Developer Tools Services area here:

I have added an action statement both before and after the main TTS call. You can choose to ignore these, or you can use them to change volume, add a media player to play a doorbell, turn on a light, add a delay, whatever you want to do.

The Scripts produced by this blueprint can be called from an automation & variable values for the message and the media_player can be sent on the fly. For details check out the instructions here.

⚠️ This Blueprint makes the assumption that you already have a tested & proven TTS integration installed and you know how it works and how to use it ⚠️

You will need to verify that the name you have given to the TTS integration in your system configuration is the Default name or you need to change this blueprint to use the custom name you have set in the tts: section of configuration.yaml.

This will be a way to streamline your automations and scripts. It provides specific services that can be called with a single line service call. This is contrasted to the multiline service calls of repeating values spread throughout your configuration.

In addition it puts all your TTS specific code in 1 spot, the blueprint, and that allows it to be called over and over. Plus it gives you one place, the blueprint, to repair issues should they arrise. 🔚
