Describe the issue

Thanks for the quick work getting the UI back, I was getting ready to try to change the services file.

After installing the new version I tried to generate a TTS. I hear the chime, but no TTS.

Reproduction steps

1. Run this action

action: chime_tts.say
target:
  entity_id: media_player.sonos_ma_kitchen
data:
  chime_path: bells_2
  message: test
  tts_platform: tts.piper

• Piper is confirmed working with the built in TTS service.

Diagnostics dump

No response

[putt6359]

Just like to add that I experience the same

[rich33584]

Same issue here. In the main configuration, only Polly, Cloud and Google translate are available. So, if you dont use one of these, then the TTS will not work.
In the main configuration,, you may see what you have been using, but if you change to Polly, Cloud or Google Translate and then save, your option will no longer be there. Rolling back to the previous version fixes the issue.

Microsoft Edge TTS is not working

[patienttruth]

Finally got a chance to troubleshoot again, and although it took manual code changes, it seems to be working with one of the few changes from v1.2.3b1.

1. Via HACS redownload v1.2.2
2. Modify file as changed in this commit which is part of v1.2.3b1
3. Restart Home Assistant
4. Run chime_tts.clear_cache (if you have cached audio files that don't have TTS included like I did.

I'll post back if I have other issues without the rest of v1.2.3b1, but for now I'm back to being able to create new chime_tts. 🥳

[ingmarsretro]

this change in line 52 from "value": None to "value": "" in file "services_helper.py" worked for me. Now the UI is back again.
Thanks

[bsdev90]

Same here, it only sees two TTS but I user Piper which is not on this list so it don't work (but work with the HA TTS service):
Unable to select a TTS platform - installed TTS platforms: ['cloud', 'google_translate']

I confirm: revert to 1.2.2 and change None to "", it works again.

[Jonseed]

I'm on the 1.2.3-beta1, and I'm only seeing "cloud" under the default tts platforms, even though I have several (which all showed on 1.2.2).

A few comments up is instructions. You'll have to revert to 1.2.2 and make the changes mentioned above to this file: custom_components/chime_tts/helpers/services_helper.py which is mentioned in step 2.

Not working anymore on HASS 2025.11.0

I'm on 2025.11.0 and Chime TTS is still working with those tweaks. Just did a test. What's not working for you?

[pomeloy]

I re-downloaded 1.2.2 as advised, changed the file in question, and restarted HACS. I hear a chime, but no TTS, while the same fix worked for previous versions of HACS.

Since you hear a chime, I think ChimeTTS is working. I'd look into your TTS platform to make sure it's functioning correctly, and being referenced correctly by your ChimeTTS action.
