[SOLVED] Google TTS voice service on RPI

[zamzon (mads m)]

Hi
I am tyring th follow this guide

HowTo: Listen & Talk to your Home

It’s correct. I added a note on top (intro). There is a Snapshot release of the addon that will work on rPis, but you need to run 2.4.0 Snapshot core to run it. Ref: Google TTS addon for OH2 Check (updated). The docs need update also in this case Thanx!

Is it true that I can’t use the Google TTS service on my Raspberry pi 3?

I get this error when I try to install the add-on

2018-11-26 22:29:13.815 [ERROR] [b.voice.gtts.internal.GoogleCloudAPI] - The architecture is not x86_64 but ARM_32. Only x86_64 platforms are supported.

See this link

Google TTS addon for OH2

I’ve created a PR to remove the native dependencies so the Google TTS addon can be used on any platform : If you want to help out testing, here’s a org.openhab.voice.googletts-2.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar containing the changes.

If your not sure where to put the .jar file it’s /usr/share/openhab2/addons then restart openhab.

i did try to install this jar file.

I get this error in the log

2018-11-26 23:15:10.088 [ERROR] [org.openhab.voice.googletts         ] - bundle org.openhab.voice.googletts:2.4.0.201811120148 (303)[org.openhab.voice.googletts.internal.GoogleTTSService(313)] : The activate method has thrown an exception

And I am not able to select the Google TTS in the Configuration - system - Voice

when i log in to the console to shows the Google Cloud is active

303 │ Active   │  80 │ 2.4.0.201811120148     │ Google Cloud Text-to-Speech

I did try to reboot, but did not help.

OH 2.3.0 Stable?
If yes: upgrade to 2.4.0 Milestone 6 or latest Snapshot to use this testing jar

I get this error in the log

Looks like the same exception caused by account/permissions misconfiguration in:

Set the log for this binding to TRACE and post the output.
