Jon00 Homeseer Speak Utility

The error would suggest the Host name is incorrect. What do you see in the HS Log when you send normal TTS to the Sonos?

Odd. Does it work when you use the 'default:all' virtual device speak button?

There is a setting in Imperihome PI to enable (control API tab) speak proxy. You then need to enable tts in the app. I was playing with it last week and it caused major delays using the basic tts stuff in HS.

I havent touched imperihome in months. jon's speak utility shouldnt be trying to access it at all. currently I have no clients using imperihome, I switched over to hstouch. but I am going to disable imperhome and see if jon's speak utility works right then....

shutting down imperihome had no effect at all...same result

EDIT: I discovered one thing...Dirk has put out a new version .23, I was running version .22. After the install of version .23 I get no tts logs from sonos.

In your Control Panel, Immediate script Command box, enter:

&hs.speak("Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")

Do you hear anything when you press the 'Execute Command' button?

yes sir! it's says hello world

[jon00]

Now try:

&hs.speak("<> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")

[wadesready]

Now try:

&hs.speak("<> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")

nope it doesnt like that one...nothing

This would be interesting to try with my PollyC TTS handler when I get some time to try it.

[jon00]

Now try:

&hs.speak("<> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")

nope it doesnt like that one...nothing

Finally, can you try:

&hs.speak("<silence mSec='1000' /> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")


The <> at the beginning of the speech tells the script that it is a repeat speech command and therefore ignored. Otherwise it would be registered as a new announcement again.

All speaker clients should ignore this as SAPI speech tags are allowed in a TTS string (example above - 1 second delay). If you hear nothing again, then you will have to refer it back to Dirk.

this one replied with hello world

[jon00]

Interesting...

How about this one:

&hs.speak("</> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")

or this one?

&hs.speak("< /> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")

&hs.speak("</> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")

&hs.speak("< /> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")

none of the last three work properly

[wadesready]

weird...


this works


&hs.speak("<silence mSec='0' /> Hello World",False,"$SONOS$ALL$:*")
