This is part one of two posts and videos on how I am controlling the volume of various Home Assistants throughout the day. I talk about how I am using Amazon Polly to send text messages to the Chrome Casts Audios, AMP and then the Whole House Speaker system at a consistent volume throughout the day. No blaring messages at night and no whispers in the day time when the ambient noise is louder.
In this first part, I talk specifically about the Speech Notification script in Home Assistant and it’s volume control mechanism.
In the next post, I will show you how I use Routines to keep the Amazon Alexa voice under control in a similar way.

👋 About this channel : My Name is Carlo. I've been running Home Assistant for a BUNCH of years. Almost from the very beginning actually. This channel is focused on bringing what I have implemented at my own house to you so that you can bring it to your house. The channel will be a mix of reviews, tutorials and inspiration. It is a companion to my GitHub site that holds all the code for my Smart Home and my main site where I keep the more in-depth technical writings. I hope you will enjoy the videos and consider subscribing.
