Add-ons Text-to-Speech

Hello guys,

It is the first time trying to test google TTS with openhab but I cannot make it work

Openhab 2.4.0 (stable)
Platform: raspberry pi3
org.openhab.voice.googletts version 2.4.0

I followed the documentation and when I put the json contents on the paperui I get the following exception in openhab.log

2019-03-17 12:32:42.947 [DEBUG] [.googletts.internal.GoogleTTSService] - Updating configuration

Anybody has any idea why I get this exception ?

Hi Christos,

Have a look here:

Thanks Christoph. I have already seen that post but I was not sure it is the same issue so I created a new one. In any case I will monitor that thread as well.
In case it helps I run openhab in docker. Maybe this is related ?

Regards

I do not think so. The NPE was thrown because the voice extension was not able to retrieve the voices from the API which could be caused by - it is just a guess - a misconfiguration.
