v1.2.4-fork

A community fork build of Chime TTS with fixes for current Home Assistant. Validated against HA 2026.6.3 and 2025.1.4.

To install: add this repository to HACS as a custom repository (category: Integration), then install and restart.

Fixed

• No audio / silent playback on recent HA (nimroddolev#289, nimroddolev#253)
• Chime plays but no TTS; correct TTS platform selection, incl. Google Gemini (nimroddolev#291, nimroddolev#308, nimroddolev#241)
• Blocking calls on the event loop (nimroddolev#318, nimroddolev#258)
• services.yaml parse failure (nimroddolev#294)
• Volume filter double-applied on cached audio (nimroddolev#282, nimroddolev#280)
• Cloud / Google Cloud language and styled-voice handling (nimroddolev#242, nimroddolev#307, nimroddolev#210)
• Sonos announcement volume (nimroddolev#275, nimroddolev#256)
• Fallback TTS not invoked on timeout (nimroddolev#232), error-path crash (nimroddolev#272), default temp-folder config (nimroddolev#306), f-string warnings (nimroddolev#288)
• Google Cast volume spikes (nimroddolev#315) and Squeezebox announcement volume (nimroddolev#309), from @lolcatnip and @whc2001

Added

• repeat option to play the chime and message multiple times (nimroddolev#314)
• pre_script / post_script options to run a script before and after playback (nimroddolev#310)

Breaking changes

• The TTS platform now uses full tts.* entity ids; existing configs keep working, but the platform dropdown lists full entity ids.
• Sonos: with snapshot/restore enabled, the announcement volume is applied explicitly and restored afterward.
