The `Remember The Milk` (RTM) component allows you to create tasks in [remember_the_milk](https://www.rememberthemilk.com) from Home Assistant. You can use this if you want Home Assistant to send you a task that you should not forget, e.g. water the plants. The component allows you to have several RTM accounts in parallel.

To be able to use this component, you need a Remember The Milk account and you need to apply for your own [API key](https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/api/keys.rtm). With the API key you will also receive your personal `shared secret`. Both of them need to be stored in your Home Assistant configuration:

After saving the configuration, you need to (re-)start Home Assistant. On the first start you will notice a new "Configuration" panel appearing on the Home Assistant page. After opening the configuration page, follow the link "Remember The Milk login". This will take you to a login page where you have to log in with your normal Rember The Milk credentials. This will authorize Home Assistant to access your Remember The Milk account.

In the background Home Assistant downloaded a "token" from the Remember The Milk server which is stored in the `remember_the_milk.conf` file locally. So you only need to register once. After that the token is used to authenticate with the server.

This component offers a new service domain ```remember_the_milk``` with the service ```create_task```. You can call this service with the argument ```name``` to create a new task in your Remember The Milk account. You can call this service from your usual automations.
The task creation supports the "smart syntax", so to create a task with the tag "from_hass" which is due today you can create a task with the name ```test task created in Home Assistant ^today #from_hass```. More info about the smart syntax is available on the [Remember The Milk documentation](https://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/answer/basics-smartadd-howdoiuse).

The `microsoft` text-to-speech platform uses [Microsoft Text-to-Speech engine](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech/home) to read a text with natural sounding voices. This component uses an API that is part of the Cognitive Services offering and is known as the Bing Speech API.
You will need an API key, which is free. You can use your [Azure subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com) or get an API key on the [Cognitive Services site](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/try/cognitive-services/).
To enable text-to-speech with Microsoft, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
tts:
- platform: microsoft
api_key: [YourAPIKey]
```
Configuration variables:
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key.
- **language** (*Optional*): The language to use. Defaults to `en-us`. Accepted values are listed in the documentation mentioned below.
- **gender** (*Optional*): The gender you would like to use for the voice. Accepted values are `Female` and `Male`. Defaults to `Female`
- **type** (*Optional*): The voice type you want to use. Accepted values are listed in the service name mapping [in the documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/Speech/api-reference-rest/bingvoiceoutput). Defaults to `ZiraRUS`
A full configuration sample including optional configuration variables:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
tts:
- platform: microsoft
api_key: XXXXXXXXX
language: en-us
gender: male
type: BenjaminRUS
