Hi,

my amps only turn on via relay if there is sound. It takes 100ms or a bit longer - is there any possibility to delay the tts automatically by a few ms?
Does this make sense?

What if you just add a letter in front of your TTS message?

Like: A This is my message.

It’s not possible right now, but that’s actually a good idea. Adding an optional configurable delay before starting TTS playback should be doable — I’ll look into it for a future release.

Adding an extra letter as described above, would probably also do the trick for now.

You probably also want this for alerts right? For example a doorbell alert?
