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

```

Hi,

wanted to share my recent automation. What it does: Whenever you want to watch a movie and use chromecast, it looks up the title on IMDB and gets the rating. Then announces the rating via tts.

Sorry for bad formatting - I don't get this to work here

• Install pyscript from hacs
• Create a pyscript folder in your config
• In your pyscript folder create a file "requirements.txt"
• Write "cinemagoer" and save
• Create a file "movieinfo.py"
• Add the following python code

``` from imdb import Cinemagoer

import sys

import requests

@service def multimedia_getmovieinfos(mytitle=None): """yaml name: get imdb movie infos description: obtain infos from imdb for a movie, stored in multiple input_text sensors fields: mytitle: description: provide the movie title example: Rollo Aller required: true """

ia = Cinemagoer() search = task.executor(ia.search_movie, mytitle)

for i in range(len(search)): if i == 0: id = search[i].movieID info = task.executor(ia.get_movie, id) genre_list = info.data['genres'] service.call("input_text", "set_value", blocking=True, limit=10, entity_id="input_text.multimedia_current_movie_title", value=search[i]['title'] + ' ('+str(info.data['year'])+')')

service.call("input_text", "set_value", blocking=True, limit=10, entity_id="input_text.multimedia_current_movie_genre", value=','.join(map(str, genre_list)).replace(',', ', '))

service.call("input_text", "set_value", blocking=True, limit=10, entity_id="input_text.multimedia_current_movie_rating", value=( str(round(info.data['rating'], 2))))

if 'plot outline' in info.data: service.call("input_text", "set_value", blocking=True, limit=10, entity_id="input_text.multimedia_current_movie_plot", value=info.data['plot outline'][:255]) else: service.call("input_text", "set_value", blocking=True, limit=10, entity_id="input_text.multimedia_current_movie_plot", value="no plot available")

```

• Create four input_text sensors in homeassistant

``` input_text:

multimedia_current_movie_title: name: Multimedia Current Movie Title

multimedia_current_movie_rating: name: Multimedia Current Movie Rating

multimedia_current_movie_genre: name: Multimedia Current Movie Genre

multimedia_current_movie_plot: name: Multimedia Current Movie Plot max: 255 ```

• Create an input_number sensor for the rating threshold

multimedia_tv_minimum_rating: name: Movie Minimum Rating icon: mdi:brightness-percent mode: slider step: 0.1 max: 10 min: 0 initial: 5.0

• Add an automation to trigger getting the movie infos

``` alias: multimedia_tv_aerocast_get_movie_infos description: "" trigger:

• platform: state entity_id:
  • media_player.aerocast to: playing id: "1"
• platform: state entity_id:
  • media_player.aerocast from: playing id: "2" condition: [] action:
• choose:
  • conditions:
    • condition: trigger id: "1" sequence:
    • service: pyscript.multimedia_getmovieinfos data: mytitle: | {{ state_attr('media_player.aerocast', 'media_title') }}
• choose:
  • conditions:
    • condition: trigger id: "2" sequence:
    • service: input_text.set_value data: value: " " target: entity_id: input_text.multimedia_current_movie_genre
    • service: input_text.set_value data: value: " " target: entity_id: input_text.multimedia_current_movie_title
    • service: input_text.set_value data: value: " " target: entity_id: input_text.multimedia_current_movie_rating
    • service: input_text.set_value data: value: " " target: entity_id: input_text.multimedia_current_movie_plot mode: single

```

• Add an automation to announce whenever you play your movie - I do that through mqtt. Adjust to your liking :)

```

alias: jarvis_notify_movie_rating description: "" trigger:

• platform: state entity_id:
  • input_text.multimedia_current_movie_rating condition:
• condition: template value_template: "{{ states('input_text.multimedia_current_movie_rating') != ' ' }}" action:
• choose:
  • conditions:
    • condition: template value_template: >- {{ states('input_text.multimedia_current_movie_rating') | float(default=0) < states('input_number.multimedia_tv_minimum_rating') | float(default=0) }} sequence:
    • service: mqtt.publish data: topic: notifications payload_template: | { "heading": "Movie underrated", "details": { "msg": "Do you really want to watch {{ state_attr('media_player.aerocast', 'media_title') }}? It only has a rating of {{ states('input_text.multimedia_current_movie_rating') }} on I M D B.", "player": "livingroom", "importance": "high", "received": "{{ now().strftime("%H:%M:%S") }}" } }
  • conditions:
    • condition: template value_template: >- {{ states('input_text.multimedia_current_movie_rating') | float(default=0) >= states('input_number.multimedia_tv_minimum_rating') | float(default=0) }} sequence:
    • service: mqtt.publish data: topic: notifications payload_template: | { "heading": "Movie well rated", "details": { "msg": "Nice choice for a{% if states('input_text.multimedia_current_movie_genre').split(',')[0] | lower | regex_search("[aeiou]")%}n{% endif %} {{ states('input_text.multimedia_current_movie_genre').split(',')[0] | lower }} movie. {{ state_attr('media_player.aerocast', 'media_title') }} has a rating of {{ states('input_text.multimedia_current_movie_rating') }} on I M D B.", "player": "livingroom", "importance": "high", "received": "{{ now().strftime("%H:%M:%S") }}" } } mode: single ```
