hi i’m trying to find out how you could make an echo speak using a URL been trying for a while but I’m getting nowhere got the Binding working perfectly in paper UI
I need to incorporate it into bash scripts easily
I feel like there could be away using rest API

You can send your text to the TTS-item of your echo device in OpenHAB:

curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: text/plain" --header "Accept: application/json" -d "<insert text here>" "http://{openHAB_IP}:8080/rest/items/Echo_TTS"
