Home Assistant Integration

AllTalk can be integrated with Home Assistant using a 3rd Party OpenAI TTS Custom Component (not managed or coded by me). This allows you to utilize AllTalk's TTS capabilities within your Home Assistant setup, leveraging the OpenAI-compatible endpoint provided by AllTalk.

Overview

• Integrates AllTalk TTS with Home Assistant
• Uses the OpenAI TTS Custom Component
• Supports various languages and voices
• Can be used in automations, scripts, and other Home Assistant components

Setup

1. Install the OpenAI TTS Custom Component in Home Assistant

   • Repository: https://github.com/sfortis/openai_tts
   • Follow the installation instructions provided in the repository

2. Configuration

   • Use the AllTalk server's IP address and port in place of the OpenAI API endpoint
   • Set the API key to any value (AllTalk doesn't require authentication)
   • Configure other options as needed (voice, language, etc.)

3. Usage

   • Use the TTS service in your Home Assistant automations and scripts
   • Refer to the OpenAI TTS Custom Component documentation for detailed usage instructions

Important Notes

• Ensure your AllTalk server is accessible from your Home Assistant instance
• The OpenAI TTS Custom Component is a third-party integration and not officially supported by Home Assistant or AllTalk
• Keep your AllTalk server updated to ensure compatibility

For more detailed information and troubleshooting, refer to the OpenAI TTS Custom Component documentation and the AllTalk API documentation.
