I see that Rhasspy TTS has the option of Local Command, but, do not use it (I do not see any example and I’m a little lost), so I think the most feasible thing is to do it directly on the Python code, or I’m wrong?
The code that I have reproduces the audio from console, but, not in handle.py
I wrote a little node express server that should check the incoming text (from TTS) and return a specific wwav-file.
Sadly I don’t know how to retrieve the text.
Would I need to write a python command to get the text and then send it to my server?
Hi Denkmit,
A long time ago, I wrote my first python script to do something similar to what you want (I think). I used the MQTT broker and topics to play specific wav files. Maybe this might help. (forgive the “rough and ready nature” of the script; as I said, first one that I wrote that I actually used!)
I haven’t worked with mqtt or HomeAssistent before. So I’m not sure if I’m overlooking anything.
As far as I can interprete your script you are waiting for a mqqt message “playaudio”, which seems, at least for me, already to late. My own “TTS-server” is on another machine, so I could not play audio there.
What I’m aiming at is translating the received text-content to a specific wav-file and return it to be played at the calling sattelite.
My problem is that i don’t receive the text-content, or don’t know how to.
Maybe I could extend rhasspy’s script where it sends the request to the remote server to include the text-content.
While I’m digging through the code I’m sure I’ll learn something more about mqtt
Hi Denkmit,
Just like you, I’m probably overlooking something! The way I’ve set it up is that I’ve created the following sentences structure in Rhasspy:
Blockquote
[FirePhoton]
fire photon torpedoes
fire torpedoes
In Home Assistant, I’ve written the following “Intent”:
Rhasspy sends the “Intent” [FirePhoton] to HA, and HA publishes on the “ha/playaudio” topic on MQTT, with the payload of the directory location and file name of the wav file to be played “/home/pi/soundeffects/mqttsoundeffects/tos_photon_torpedo_2.wav” and the python script is listening on the MQTT broker for the “ha/playaudio” topic, and parses out the payload for the name of the wav file to play via the subprocess call to “aplay”.
I think you could set something similar up (take a look at this setup : Using the Node.js MQTT Client -Starting Guide) by having your Node Express server connect to the MQTT broker and listen on a topic, and when it receives a message on your topic, make an OS call to aplay. I’ve never worked with Node so I’m very sorry I can’t be of more help with giving you some code, but conceptually, I think this should work.

Sorry for butting in where I am still trying to get my head around how MQTT messages … but …
I don’t see any “playaudio” message in Rhasspy’s list of services. Is this a new service you are writing your own code for ? Or do you perhaps mean to use PlayBytes ?
Hi Don,
They python script I wrote doesn’t rely on Rhasspy, it does a subprocess call to the O/S for aplay (which plays the wav file). I could (and probably) should have used playbytes and Rhasspy, but my script has no overhead on Rhasspy (since it runs independently) so a long wav file doesn’t cause problems (I actually use a modified version to play carols on the hour that run for 30 to 45 seconds during the holidays) and at the time, it worked, so I was happy!
