The `clicksend_tts` platform uses [ClickSend](https://clicksend.com) to deliver text-to-speech (TTS) notifications from Home Assistant.
Go to your [ClickSend Dashboard](https://dashboard.clicksend.com) section and create your new project. After creating your project, you should now be able to obtain your `username` and `api_key`.
To add ClickSend to your installation, add the following to your Home Assistant `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
notify:
- platform: clicksend_tts
name: ClickSend
username: CLICKSEND_USERNAME
api_key: CLICKSEND_API_KEY
recipient: PHONE_NO
```
Configuration variables:
* **name** (Optional): Setting the optional parameter name allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is `ClickSend`. The notifier will bind to the service notify.NOTIFIER_NAME.
* **username** (Required): Your username.
* **api_key** (Required): Your API Key.
* **recipient** (Required): Your phone number. This is where you want to send your notification SMS messages (e.g., `09171234567`)
* **language** (Optional): The language you want to use to convert the message to audio. Accepted values are found in the [ClickSend Documentation](http://docs.clicksend.apiary.io/#reference/voice/voice-languages). Default value is `en-us`.
* **voice** (Optional): The voice that needs to be used to play the message to the recipient. Allowed values are `female` or `male`. Default value is `female`.
To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page](https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/automation/).
