nimroddolev/chime_tts v1.1.0 on GitHub

✨ New Features:

Custom Chimes Folder: You can now specify a local folder path containing all your custom chime files. The custom chimes folder replaces the 5 custom chime slots (but don't worry: the slots will continue to work in your automations and scripts).
Changes to the folder path or its contents requires restarting Home Assistant
Chime TTS Notify Entries: You can now use Chime TTS as a notify platform, to easily create and reuse Chime TTS parameters in your notifications.
Replay Service: A new service has been added, chime_tts.replay, which replays the last call to chime_tts.say (without any parameters).
The new fade_audio parameter for chime_tts.say fades out and pauses any playing audio before the notification, and then resumes it with fade in (an alternative to announce).

The message parameter is now optional, allowing for service calls with chimes only. #112
The default chime file paths in the configuration are now absolute. #116, #126
Added validation for configured folder paths. #124
The language parameter for Nabu Casa Cloud TTS is now automatically set, if empty, when a valid voice value is provided.
Added validation to correct mistyped google TTS platform entities or the "google_translate" TTS platform.
Added config.py to store configurable flags.
Sonos media players no longer wait for their state to change back when using announce.
Hebrew vowel characters in message strings are now replaced with non-vowel characters to avoid TTS audio generation errors.
Service call failures now provide more descriptive error messages.
