[Reactor] Variables not updating correctly in latest-25201-2aa18550

[therealdb]

@toggledbits Speaking of that, is there a way to easily compose re-usable actions, so I could just pass the arguments (message and device) and call the same function? I'll use for the very same purpose, since I have a couple of endpoints doing notifications/TTS. Thanks!

@toggledbits That's great news! My only problem is that my Hass entity don't have any actions... :
I don't know how you activated the x_hass_system.call_service?

Do I have to change anything in my reactor.yaml?

  - id: hass
    enabled: true
    implementation: HassController
    name: Home Assistant
    config:
      source: 'wss://f_______'
      access_token: "eyJ0eXAi_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2-nLoI369-iYcJf9z_3sviSiWA"
      #
      # ignore_cert - If true, suppresses certificate validation when using wss:// (Websocket
      #               with SSL/TLS) and thus allows a self-signed certificate to be used on
      #               the Hass system.
      #ignore_cert: false
      #
      # dump_all_states - This is for troubleshooting. Do not enable unless asked.
      #dump_all_states: false
      log_events: false

@fanan That's not the system entity. It's probably named "Home Assistant" based on your configuration, and you can also filter by the sys_system capability.

@toggledbits Ahh..! I see it now. Thanks! I'm struggeling with the indentation, but I guess it will come around after a few tries...
The best of all is as you so well put it: "...and if it's not supported, the (Hass) entity will either ignore it or log an error, but nobody dies, missiles do not launch, gravity still works, the sun continues to rise and set, etc."
Even Shakespeare him self would be impressed!

What did I do wrong?

The service works in HA scripts but not in Reactor

@whyfseeguy said in TTS in MSR?:

What did I do wrong?

Well, you didn't post what the action logged. Did you look?

Off the top of my head looking at it, you've wrapped data in data. I think you just need it to be:

{
    "entity_id": "media_player.media_room_tv",
    "message": "hello there"
}

[whyfseeguy]

It is working now with your recipe. I had too many "data" in data field. I was following the examples above and got confused.

This thread has been super helpful. I have a few questions that are somewhat related:

1. Similar to @therealdb 's request. Is there a way to call this from the Alexa entity vs. a "call service" from the controller entity? I tried adding the TTS service but it's still not showing up under the entity. (see below - ignore multiple entries - was trying a few formats of the name)
2. In the service call, is there a way to make the announcement at a certain volume? Even better if it could snap back. You can see I'm setting the volume, delaying, and then announcing but was wondering if someone has a more elegant solution.

I realize this isn't all an MSR issue (much more HASS) but thought there are good minds here that may be able to help. Thanks.

Hi, just playing around this topic with Alexa and I share it:
Example that works:

Still no lucky to play with "random" announce.
This example not work:

[therealdb]

@noelab ciao! I randomize them in Reactor. Just use this:

messages[ floor( random() * len( messages) )

where messages is a local variable like this:

[
"Bentornato a casa",
"Casa, dolce casa!",
"Ciao!",
]

[noelab]

@therealdb said in TTS in MSR?:

[
"Bentornato a casa",
"Casa, dolce casa!",
"Ciao!",
]

Grazie! and thanks to @toggledbits for the new dark theme, also my eyes are happy!
