Announce does not work for 2 different radiostations (2 different Sonos devices) about chime_tts HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @KrisHoobergs,

Sorry you've been having issues. As I understand the built it join/unjoin feature in Home Assistant (the same one being used by Chime TTS) does not always play nicely with Sonos. Other Sonos users have reported that a workaround is to use the Sonos integration's snapshot/restore feature, in conjunction with Chime TTS:

 - service: sonos.snapshot
    data:
      with_group: true
      entity_id: all

  - service: chime_tts.say
    data:
      chime_path: custom_components/chime_tts/mp3s/bells.mp3
      message: This is a test
      tts_platform: google_cloud
      join_players: true
    enabled: true
    target:
      entity_id:
        - media_player.lounge_sonos
        - media_player.porch_sonos
        - media_player.diningroom_sonos
        - media_player.halfbath_sonos
        - media_player.kitchen_sonos
        - media_player.office_sonos
        - media_player.garage_sonos

  - service: sonos.restore
    data:
      with_group: true
      entity_id: all

Hi @nimroddolev ,
Sorry to hear that, this was just one of the main reasons I was using this. Do you know if the syntax above is correct because I can't get it to work?

Hey @KrisHoobergs, I can't verify that the above YAML works as I don't have any Sonos speakers. It was posted by another user in the Home Assistant forum. Perhaps you could follow up in the forum and hopefully another user might be able to help you further.

Hi @nimroddolev ,
I just got the code for the Sonos speaker working, thanks. I'll close this one.

That’s great 👍
Would you mind posting it here for future reference? Perhaps I can incorporate it or add documentation to help others the issue.
