Speech engine implementation
BeardedTinker opened this issue · 3 comments
I've used speech engine that @CCOSTAN created as I like the ability to make dynamics announcement and information.
But I'm not sure if I'll end up using it or not.
There are few things I would like and that's the ability to push TTS to specific rooms, depending on automation that calls the script and for whom the notifications is for.
Some of the input boolean I also use (home/away, guest mode, quite time for voice), but some not, so still need to see if I'll add them or remove.
For now, this has been adapted just a tiny but I may end-up creating something completely different, more in line with Notify engine.
Or, to make it more simpler, for Speech engine, I'll use internal TTS service, create notify platform for each Google Home media player, and then use notification engine to trigger that.
But I will definitely use speech processing part of this as it allows to trigger more customised text messages
Unfortunately, not. Although sending notifications via notify script works, there are other reasons why this should be independent.
- If groups mobile and Telegram notification with TTS on Google Home Speakers, I don't know to what speaker it will go (it depends on groups created).
- Second issue is volume control - since I see them as notify platform, and not as media_player, I can't control volume, at least not in a same way
- If voice notifications are muted, it would be harder to split what goes where.
That's why I'll need to have separate speech engine from non TTS notifications. They can be in same automation, as now, but different scripts to control.
