Describe the issue

Thanks for the quick work getting the UI back, I was getting ready to try to change the services file.

After installing the new version I tried to generate a TTS. I hear the chime, but no TTS.

Reproduction steps

  1. Run this action
action: chime_tts.say
target:
  entity_id: media_player.sonos_ma_kitchen
data:
  chime_path: bells_2
  message: test
  tts_platform: tts.piper
  • Piper is confirmed working with the built in TTS service.

Just like to add that I experience the same

putt6359 avatar Sep 13 '25 15:09 putt6359

Same issue here. In the main configuration, only Polly, Cloud and Google translate are available. So, if you dont use one of these, then the TTS will not work. In the main configuration,, you may see what you have been using, but if you change to Polly, Cloud or Google Translate and then save, your option will no longer be there. Rolling back to the previous version fixes the issue.

Microsoft Edge TTS is not working

zhangkaiyv avatar Sep 14 '25 03:09 zhangkaiyv

Finally got a chance to troubleshoot again, and although it took manual code changes, it seems to be working with one of the few changes from v1.2.3b1.

  1. Via HACS redownload v1.2.2
  2. Modify file as changed in this commit which is part of v1.2.3b1
  3. Restart Home Assistant
  4. Run chime_tts.clear_cache (if you have cached audio files that don't have TTS included like I did.

I'll post back if I have other issues without the rest of v1.2.3b1, but for now I'm back to being able to create new chime_tts. 🥳

patienttruth avatar Sep 20 '25 14:09 patienttruth

this change in line 52 from "value": None to "value": "" in file "services_helper.py" worked for me. Now the UI is back again. Thanks

Same here, it only sees two TTS but I user Piper which is not on this list so it don't work (but work with the HA TTS service): Unable to select a TTS platform - installed TTS platforms: ['cloud', 'google_translate']

I confirm: revert to 1.2.2 and change None to "", it works again.

I'm on the 1.2.3-beta1, and I'm only seeing "cloud" under the default tts platforms, even though I have several (which all showed on 1.2.2).

A few comments up is instructions. You'll have to revert to 1.2.2 and make the changes mentioned above to this file: custom_components/chime_tts/helpers/services_helper.py which is mentioned in step 2.

Not working anymore on HASS 2025.11.0

I'm on 2025.11.0 and Chime TTS is still working with those tweaks. Just did a test. What's not working for you?

patienttruth avatar Nov 08 '25 04:11 patienttruth

I re-downloaded 1.2.2 as advised, changed the file in question, and restarted HACS. I hear a chime, but no TTS, while the same fix worked for previous versions of HACS.

Since you hear a chime, I think ChimeTTS is working. I'd look into your TTS platform to make sure it's functioning correctly, and being referenced correctly by your ChimeTTS action.

patienttruth avatar Nov 08 '25 20:11 patienttruth

I couldn't pinpoint the issue, but at the time of writing the underlying TTS platform (piper) was working. Redownloading 1.2.2 again didn't fix it.

I finally removed the integration from the Devices & services tab and readded it after redownloading it again and applying the fix from the commit. Now everything is back in working order.

pomeloy avatar Nov 11 '25 09:11 pomeloy

Hi, here edge_tts isn't working with 1.2.2 an file change but google translate is working. So maybe there is a conflict in this combination with edge_tts (version 0.7.3 from HACS).

But there are always errors in the log but it works: 2025-11-21 14:12:58.684 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.chime_tts.helpers.tts_audio_helper] Error generating TTS audio with google_translate. 2025-11-21 14:12:58.684 ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.chime_tts.helpers.tts_audio_helper] The google_translate platform was not found.

Couldn’t the project be marked somewhere on the main page as not working?

it's frustrating the project is not fixed while it's an easy fix we are many to have applied:

https://github.com/nimroddolev/chime_tts/issues/291#issuecomment-3333021882

I just applied that change: https://github.com/nimroddolev/chime_tts/commit/25fc97c21f7b856569a35ae67215133b68546541 and it worked for me.
