I have wasted lots of time trying to get the weather to play. Turns out I had it all right from the beginning. What I didn’t realize is my Sonos will only play two or three messages a day. So first thing in the morning I can go to Devices>Sonos>TTS and it will play anything I type 2 or 3 times, then will NOT say anything else until the next day. I tried refreshing, rebooting, reinstalling… Nothing works. Then the next day, plays fine for 2 or 3 sentences.
Has anybody seen this before?
Can anyone (lolodomo, this means you) help?
Is there a param I am missing that has to do with limits?
You are probably using Google as engine. Google now apparently limits the usage of this service to only few TTS per day.
Use rather Microsoft engine if you want something robust (not limited).
I ran into this as well and it was making me tear my hair out. Switching to Microsoft TTS and making sure I got the free 2M character plan made the plugin nice and chatty.
