[SOLVED] [Google TTS] Chromecast Audio Sink not working

Add-ons Text-to-Speech
, ,
8

Hi @Dim

I’ve tried and shows an error saying no TTS service. If I use smarthome:voide voices then I can read:

gtts:esESStandardA es-ES-Standard-A - español (España)

So I think that this is not the problem.

About @Mihai_Badea says, I change it but nothing happens, only one “beep” and nothing more.

9

OH2 version, platform and java being used?

10

openHAB 2.3.0 Release Build, Windows 10 and java version “1.8.0_181” with
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)

11

How did you deploy Google TTS on OH2.3?

12

I found it in the community with the name of “org.openhab.voice.gtts-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT”. After download, I put it in the addons folder.

13

It won’t work on OH2.3.0 core
If it’s not too much trouble: boost your core to OH2.4.0.M6 and use the included voice addon

14

Ok, I’m going to update.

Hi @Dim,

I’ve updated the runtime. Now I’m in the openHAB 2.4.0.

I retry it and I can see in my Thing Google Home that the status is OFFLINE - COMMUNICATION ERROR Waiting for response timed out.

In the logs:

20:52:11.002 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ItemCommandEvent     ] - Item 'Test' received command ON
20:52:11.004 [INFO ] [smarthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - Test changed from OFF to ON

16

I would try to delete the existing chromecast thing and re-discover it
maybe? the latest version of the binding has some changes to the way it handles the chromecast things (not sure since I don’t use currently this binding)

did you go to OH2.4 M(ilestone) (build #?) or S(napshot) (build #?) ?

17

openHAB 2.4.0 Build #1446

Yes, I did it.

I can see this warn when start openhab:

20:58:41.155 [WARN ] [.voice.gtts.internal.GoogleTTSService] - Audio format OGG_OPUS is not yet supported.
18

that’s harmless. it’s just a warning that all of us have with Google TTS Addon.

Make sure that you don’t have any old TTS jar and/or chromecast jar in your addons folder and use the bindings from PaperUI. Clean tmp&cache also.

But only sounds a “beep”

And I’m testing with this command:

say("Adios, Carlos", "gtts:esESStandardA", "chromecast:chromecast:fc070cef4c0727c90482fabdccf82384")
22

it looks like you are still running the old GTTS jar

bundle:list -s |grep google
23 

openhab> bundle:list -s |grep google
 21 | Active   |  80 | 2.7.0.v20170129-0911   | com.google.gson
 22 | Active   |  80 | 18.0.0                 | com.google.guava
 23 | Active   |  80 | 3.0.0.v201312141243    | com.google.inject
24

it looks like it’s actually missing… strange
did you install it from PaperUI?

it should show (on 2.4.0.S1445)

Clean tmp & cache also (stop OH2, delete everything within C:\openHAB2\userdata\tmp\ & C:\openHAB2\userdata\cache\ but not the folders themselves)

25

Now I see:

26

yeah, you are good.
I am still on S1445 so my timestamp is older

27

this has been changed from gtts to googletts
modify your default in PaperUI->Configuration->System->Voice

check again
