problem to play sounds in all my alexa devices
Hi Henrik, good job! I used your package in last two years. For my children the hallowen sounds are a good idea!
It worked fine until this halloween...
I already tried to update the multinotify package and audio_fz files using last version available here in github, but it don't solve...
I test alexa devices using developer tool and all worked fine, but when I use your lovelace cards, I don't obtain any sound:
- sending test to speech card, I obtain only a bip of announce con alexa device
- enabling automation of hallowen sound from lovelace card, nothing happen on alexa devices (I see HA automation are triggered random and using my PIR...)
- trying to send sound to "piano terra" or "primo piano" nothing happen on alexa devices
any help to understand where is the problem?
regards
Thank you, I'm happy you like it! I'm still using it daily. I nearly don't use other notification services in all my automations, nearly just multinotify. With Home Assistant updated to the latest version and Alexa Media Player the same. That's to say that it should work... ;)
If you hear the beep but no notification that could mean that multinotify correctly changes the volume of the devices but that's weird that the notification itself doesn't works... What devices are you using? How is you using multinotify (please show the complete action you're using, one of them that don't works), how it's configured (particularly referring to the anchors in the top part of the yaml file)?
Hi Henrik, I'm using 2 echo dot devices:1 third edition and 1 fifth edition. I also have sony soundbar, alexa's compatible. but they worked fine last year...
this is my cofig:
group helpers:
group: ovunque: name: All Echo devices entities: # TODO: modify the list with your own entity_id - media_player.echo_cucina - media_player.echo_garage - media_player.soundbar_3 piani_superiori: name: Upstairs Echo devices entities: - media_player.echo_cucina - media_player.soundbar_3 common_alexa: name: Alexa devices used by everyone entities: - media_player.echo_cucina - media_player.echo_garage - media_player.soundbar_3
multinotify v3:
homeassistant: customize: package.node_anchors: tts_default_service: &tts_default_service "tts.speak" default_volume: &default_volume 0.6 iphones: &iphones "notify.all_ios_devices" iphones_critical_volume: &iphones_critical_volume 1.0
In audio fx confi I change PIR sensors and lights entities...
this is an automation created from your card:
`alias: Alexa - Notifica - Audio FX random triggers:
- hours: "*" minutes: /1 seconds: "30" trigger: time_pattern conditions:
- condition: template value_template: >- {{ range(states('input_number.audio_fx_improbability') | int(0)) | random == 0 }} actions:
- variables: alexa_device: > {% set alexa_devices = expand(states.group.common_alexa) | map(attribute='entity_id') | list %} {% set rnd = range(alexa_devices | count) | random %} {{ alexa_devices[rnd] }}
- data: alexa_target: "{{alexa_device}}" action: script.audio_fx `
this automation start often, but no sound from alexa devices...
I tried this one:
service: script.multinotify
data:
title: "Notifica dalla cucina"
message: "E' pronto da mangiare!"
alexa_message: '
and works fine but when I try this one it increase volume but don't reproduce any sounds:
service: script.multinotify
data:
title: "Notifica dalla cucina"
message: "E' pronto da mangiare!"
alexa_message: '
