Text to speech output for wake/sleep mode

[0xphk]

Hi,
I would like to add a text to speech output using mimic for the wake and sleep modes but the approach I tried did not work.
It is a simple os.system() call which works in plain python and I tried adding it after the speech.enable() and speech.disable() functions,

import os
tts = "mimic -t sleep/wake"
os.system(tts)

but I guess I added it to the wrong file (core/modes.py) or maybe this approach is wrong at all.
Can you please guide me in the right direction on how to achieve this?

I'm not very familiar with python so please bear with me.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Managed to get this working, so I post it as answer, just in case one would like to add this too.

I' using mimic for text-to-speech output, so make sure this is installed or modify to use your preferred engine.

Added ~/.talon/user/tts.py which handles the text-to-speech output and display app notifications as well.

from talon import Module, app, actions
import os

mod = Module()

@mod.action_class
class Actions:
    def tts_enabled():
        """Sends tts listening"""
        os.system("mimic -t 'listening' -voice slt_hts")
        app.notify(body="Talon listening")

    def tts_disabled():
        """Sends tts talon disabled"""
        os.system("mimic -t 'sleeping' -voice slt_hts")
        app.notify(body="Talon sleeping")

    def talon_quit():
        """Exits talon and sends tts exit message"""
        os.system("mimic -t 'exiting' -voice slt_hts")
        app.notify(body="Talon exiting")
        os.system("killall talon")

    def talon_status():
        """Sends tts talon status"""
        if actions.speech.enabled():
            os.system("mimic -t 'listening' -voice slt_hts")
            app.notify(body="Talon listening")
        else:
            os.system("mimic -t 'sleeping' -voice slt_hts")
            app.notify(body="Talon sleeping")

Modified the talon wake/sleep user actions in ~/.talon/user/knausj/core/modes/wake_and_sleep.talon and added talon status and talon exit|quit|close user actions.

^talon sleep [<phrase>]$:
    user.tts_disabled()
    speech.disable()
^talon wake$:
    user.tts_enabled()
    speech.enable()
^talon status$:
    user.talon_status()
^talon exit$:
    user.talon_quit()
^talon quit$:
    user.talon_quit()
^talon close$:
    user.talon_quit()

New commands are talon status which tells the current Talon state (listening/sleeping), useful if used without monitor and adds a few variations to exit Talon talon exit|quit|close.
