Adding Chime TTS Notify Entries

The Chime TTS sidebar panel is the recommended way to create and edit profiles. It validates the values and persists them to configuration.yaml. To manage them manually:

1. Open your Home Assistant configuration.yaml file.
2. Locate or add the notify section within your configuration.
3. Add 1 or more notify entires (see the example below).
4. Include any chime_tts.say parameters and set the default values.
