This post is going to cover normalizing all media_player volume levels with Home Assistant and Node-RED. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend reading my previous blog post on sending Text-to-Speech notifications which dives a bit deeper on the optional accessibility Subflow this Flow consumes.

Have you ever wanted to send Text-to-Speech (TTS) notifications with Home Assistant and Node-RED?

NOTE: This post has been updated on May 26th to use Docker-CE instead of Snap.
