core: Volumio Integration - TTS broken
The problem
Invoking the TTS function of the Volumio Lovelace Card produces the following error:
Failed to call service tts/google_translate_say. Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
All other functions of the Volumio Card seem to work correctly (although there are some display issues with the prev/next buttons).

Not much of a programmer myself in python (yet 😬), but if I can help with some testing I’m at your disposal
@OnFreund Ok. If @volumio offers a way to do with socket.io I will try to implement the TTS story.
@volumio @schnabel In my opinion, it would be best if Volumio had a built-in TTS and so that you could send text directly to Volumio e.g. via JSON with a predefined volume level, then it would know to play the message and then go back to playing the interrupted track at the previous volume. I know you can’t do unfortunately current track mute while playing TTS.
@schnabel @fraserp Maybe it is possible to play TTS without pausing while playing music only by turning it down to e.g. 30% as it is in android with the use of a mixer?
The problem is still here. A temporary solution is to add a new media player in configuration.yaml with platform “mpd” and with the IP of volumio in “host”. You can send TTS commands to this media player
@eWuPi From the HASS perspective I would not agree that volumio should do the integration. All components, HASS TTS service, the TTS providers, a HASS media player integration and HASS as the integrating platform, are available. That way we have a loosely coupled system. The only challenge in this case is that volumio api does not offer a ‘clean’ way to play remote audio files (as discussed above). From a volumio perspective (without HASS) on the other hand I does make a lot of sense as mentioned by you and @volumio . My bottom line is that both ways have pros and cons. @volumio irrespective of that it would be great if volumio would be able to play remote audio files (not only web radio).
@fraserp Thank you for the feedback. Yes that is what I meant. At the moment I think about splitting up the solution like the sonos implementation does. That way I could keep the current fix small and we do not have to wait for the pyvolumio pull request.
Hi,
I have been looking at this briefly. Here are some of my findings:
I would like to implement it but I am not sure about the expectations.
I prefer to pause current playback but other implementations like sonos replace the current queue. Please give feedback 😃.
any updates? for me it still does not work with version core-2021.9.4
Failed to call service tts/cloud_say. Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)Still present in Home Assistant 2021.8.8 😦.
Please, help. I love Volumio and Home Assistant 😃.
Following: 2021.7.4 still present.
