Don't want to thread-jack here, but I want to be sure that those who need to use Alexa devices for TTS are aware there's an alternative to Echo Speaks, namely @ogiewon's Amazon Alexa Text To Speech (TTS). I have used it pretty much continuously since switching to Hubitat (~6 months ago), and have never experienced any hub slowdowns that I can ascribe to it.
This has been mentioned before. I should point out that while it is clearly an option to consider (any may be sufficient for most needs), it lacks the flexibility offered by apps such as @ogiewon's Amazon Alexa TTS, including the capacity to use variables, repeat a certain number of times or indefinitely.
