Cant change voice tts.home_assistant_cloud

[TheBartoMan]

The problem

When I do "Try Voice" from the GUI, it works:

When I try to do it via automation its always the same voice:

action: tts.speak target: entity_id: tts.home_assistant_cloud data: cache: false media_player_entity_id: media_player.speaker1 message: "This is a Test" options: voice: "Noah"

Ive tried all sort of ways to set the voice and it doesnt seem to change.

"Noah" should be "NoahNeural"

It is easier to find the correct value if you use the Play media action with the TTS media.

You can also go to the Cloud config panel and view and copy the selected voice ID string.
