#### {% linkable_title Sonos say script to speak with text-to-speech %}

This script allow you to use TTS on sonos in a easy way with all features.

```yaml
script:
  sonos_say:
    alias: "Sonos TTS script"
    sequence:
     - service: media_player.sonos_snapshot
       data_template:
         entity_id: {% raw %}{{ sonos_entity }}{% endraw %}
    - service: media_player.sonos_unjoin
      data_template:
        entity_id: {% raw %}{{ sonos_entity }}{% endraw %}
   - service: media_player.volume_set
     data_template:
       entity_id: {% raw %}{{ sonos_entity }}{% endraw %}
       volume_level: {% raw %}{{ volume }}{% endraw %}
   - service: tts.voicerss_say
     data_template:
       entity_id: {% raw %}{{ sonos_entity }}{% endraw %}
       message: {% raw %}{{ message }}{% endraw %}
   - delay: {% raw %}{{ delay }}{% endraw %}
   - service: media_player.sonos_restore
     data_template:
       entity_id: {% raw %}{{ sonos_entity }}{% endraw %}
```

We call this now with:
```yaml
service: script.sonos_say
data:
  sonos_entity: media_player.kitchen
  volume: 0.3
  message: 'Your husband comming home!'
  delay: '00:00:05'
```
