Description

Feature Request

Use Home Assistant's TTS (text-to-speech) service to add voice feedback during the game, making the experience more lively and immersive without requiring players to watch a screen.

Suggested announcements:

  • Round start: "Round 3 — get ready!"
  • Countdown: "5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
  • Correct answer reveal: "The answer was 1987!"
  • Leader change: "Marco just took the lead!"
  • Streak milestone: "Anna is on a 5-song streak!"
  • Winner announcement: "And the winner is... Markus with 1240 points!"

Implementation:

  • Use tts.speak service via the existing HA media player
  • Configurable: on/off per announcement type
  • Respects the selected TTS engine in HA config
