How do I get HA to voice announce events? (lemmy.world)

For instance I want HA to announce that the garage door is opening. I already have the door monitored and can control it via HA.

I have HA integrated with Alexa via Nabu Casa but it appears to be a one way thing where she can ask HA to do something via NC but HA can't ask her to do something...like announce "The Garage Door is Opening."

I mean, I say ‘announce’ but the message is “she’s home. Panic and tidy!”

This is basically what I'm looking for! Thanks for the link to the Alexa Media player, do you happen to know of a write up for putting the HA / TTS / AMP pieces together?
