Cannot use tts successfully. about dasshio HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @kikura!

Seems you dasshio json configuration is wrong.

As the field service_data uses json format, and Hassio addons do not support more than two nested arrays in json (see warning in the readme), you have to scape " like this -> \"

This should be your right config:

{
  "timeout": 20,
  "buttons": [
    {
      "name": "Doorbell",
      "address": "B4:7C:9C:F9:27:E1",
      "domain": "media_player",
      "service": "tts.google_say",
      "service_data": "{\"entity_id\": \"media_player.downstairs\", \"message\": \"someones at the door\"}"
    }
  ]
}

Apologies, but in the original file the escape characters were there, they just didn't copy and paste correctly onto this page.

Nevertheless, I have cut and pasted your config from above and it still doesn't work.

Could you post here versions of hassio, hass and dasshio?

Have you checked that you can call that service from the service tab in your home asssitant? Is that working?

Hi.

Many thanks for your help. After some messing around, I discovered that in my config above, domain should be "tts" and service should be "google_say".
