What about some sort of media receiver that can receive the TTS message, and then it connects to the Echo via bluetooth and the Echo ‘speaks’ the message?

That’s where the app “LanDroid” comes into play… follow this link… set your system up this way and then this app will work for you…

Amazon Echo DOES Voice Notifications!

I have no idea if that has been done yet, I have done a little bit of a search with no results on this particular subject… But tonight I got my Amazon Echo to say, “The Front Door is Open” when my front door opened! It is customizable as to what I want it to say. It’s freakin Awesome!!! Here is what you need to do Follow this link and install all of the stuff it says. DO NOT USE ver 1.1.14 of Big Talker, DO USE ver 1.1.13. TTS works in the older version and not the newer one. After you do all of that stuff, do this Connect your Android device to your Amazon Echo via Bluetooth. Now your Echo will give you voice notifications. What can you do with this?? You don’t have to use Echo, you can just use a bluetooth speaker or you can use the Android Device. But how totally cool is i…

you follow the links in the first post. Do not use the Big talker app. or you can if you want to. What matters is having the landroid software on your android device, and in the ST environment. then you’re good.
