Home Assistant TTS

[Cwwilson08]

Hey everyone,

Has anyone had any luck getting tts to cast to your google devices from HA running on core?

I keep getting this error

• Failed to cast media https://192.168.12.192:18443/api/tts_proxy/aaf4c61ddcc5e8a2dabede0f3b482cd9aea9434d_en_-_google_translate.mp3 from internal_url (https://192.168.12.192:18443). Please make sure the URL is: Reachable from the cast device and either a publicly resolvable hostname or an IP address

The url works on my browser so i think it may be a security / firewall / network thing.

@markus @april.brandt @RRodman is there a firewall rule i can change that will allow traffic to work from the gogole home device?

I use NR cast nodes, but if I remember correctly you need a firewall rule to allow the google devices
to communicate on TCP port 8123+18443 of your core/HA IP.

You may also need a rule to allow communication between google servers and your core/google devices as well. Its been so long I’m not 100%.

@RRodman

rewall rule to allow the google devices
to communicate on TCP port 8123+18443 of your core/HA IP.

Could someone point me at the correct path and help with the syntax for the port mapping?

I know ive done it before but apparently remembering what ive done before from a command line is not my forte.

Any help appreciated.

Sorry I meant the firewall on your modem/router, not the core itself. Basically making sure that its not blocking any traffic between your core and your google device

@RRodman

firewall on your modem/router,

There is nothing that im aware. Casting to this device from anywhere else on the network works ok. I figured core might be blocking the google device do to security / cert / firewall rules that may be in place.

I can leave this function elsewhere in the system i just thought i would see if anyone else had run into issues.

Now… I’m running HA both on a different platform but it’s also the supervised version. Still before any TTS would work for me, I needed to add an URL in the settings/system/network. Perhaps this can be something for you to check and/or try?

Edit: If only would have read from the beginning, I should have seen that you’ve already been there!!

Personally I’m using my own domain in these settings, that also is used for the app etc.
