    Pete,

    Thanks for your help today.
    I have come to the conclusion that there is some technical issue on my end involving my keyboard. Many commands I type will not work, but if I copy past the same command from your instructions, it works perfectly.

    Let me work this out and if you are willing, we can pick this up on another day.

    I hope your car repair project goes well.

    John

        Pete,

        I think I am back on track. Does this look right?

          yes

          SSH over the RPi2 remotely via root or sudoer.

          via sudoer type:

          1 - sudo apt-get install update
          1 - sudo apt-get mono-complete
          2 - sudo apt-get install mono-vbnc
          3 - sudo apt-get install chromium-bsu

          It will take a bit to install.

          When finished type

          sudo mono -V

          and print out what you see here. Next is sound and speech stuff.

            Pete,

            I started over and went through all of your instructions again. Everything seems to be working right. I am making a backup image every few steps so I can retry if something goes wrong.

              Good news John!

              I will post your stuff in the DIY section of the Homeseer Forum as it will help others doing like you.

              Yeah here thinking I did the configuration (raspi-config?)only once.

              Next steps is the audio and Homeseer 3 installation.

              For audio do:

              1 - sudo apt-get update
              2 - sudo apt-get upgrade
              3 - sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
              4 - sudo nano /etc/modules
              5 - to have line: snd_bcm2835
              6 - sudo apt-get install mplayer
              7 - sudo nano /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
              8 - to add line: nolirc=yes

              Pico Text to Speech

              sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils

              Test it with a speaker connected:

              pico2wave -w lookdave.wav "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this." && aplay lookdave.wav



              Homeseer by default sits in the /usr/local/HomeSeer directory.

              For Zee S2 use the following for the entire Homeseer 3 Zee-2 directory


              For Homeseer 3 for Linux use the following for the entire Homeseer 3 directory



              You will also need to install Real VNC on your computer. There is a free option that will be shown at the end of registration.

              You don't really need Real VNC cuz you don't really ever need to get to a GUI on the RPi2. That said too running VNC server as a service does eat a bit of the CPU.

              For updating the RPi2 you can either SSH and use apt-get install update or just log in to the Webmin interface. The info page tells you if you need to update and provides a link to the updates.

                  It is just about adding the two older mono sources in the apt sources list. I am guessing you will see this every time you type apt-get install update.

                  It is just an informational message.

                  I see it here too. I ignore it.

                  I get a different message:

                  W: Conflicting distribution: http://download.mono-project.com wheezy/snapshots/3.12.0 Release (expected wheezy/snapshots but got wheezy)


                  Try this for each key above.

                  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys [MISSING KEY]

                  or

                  Try this:

                  1 - go to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ and remove unused keys (e.g. keys for old PPAs that you have since deleted).
                  2 - sudo launchpad-getkeys
                  3 - sudo apt-get update

                  Not sure if it will work though.

                    I think I will just live with the error message for now.

                    When I: sudo nano /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf this folder does not exist. I was thinking that it should have been created during the sudo apt-get install mplayer installation.

                    Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am doing all these commands logged in as root, is that ok?

                      yes

                      Here redid the installation of mplayer (removed it first as I do not utilize the Attic installed Zee-2 RPi2 audio anyways).

                      The below is just the beginning and end of the installation stuff.

                      root@ICS-RPi2-Zee:~# sudo apt-get install mplayer

                      liblzo2-2 libmpeg2-4 libxvmc1
                      Setting up mplayer (2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1+deb7u1) ...
                      root@ICS-RPi2-Zee:~# cd /etc
                      root@ICS-RPi2-Zee:/etc# cd mplayer
                      root@ICS-RPi2-Zee:/etc/mplayer# ls
                      input.conf menu.conf mplayer.conf
                      root@ICS-RPi2-Zee:/etc/mplayer#


                      Try
                      1 - apt-get remove mplayer
                      2 - apt-get autoremove
                      3 - reboot and
                      4 - log back in and try the installation of mplayer again?

                      root@ICS-RPi2-Zee:/etc/mplayer# mplayer

                        I think I will give up on the sound. It is not a high priority for me.

                        also this line returned an error as well. Can we skip this?

                        Package libttspico-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
                        This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
                        is only available from another source

                        Lets try the next step and see if it works.

                          I followed this thread (thanks to everyone) and was able to successfully install HS3 for Linux in a spare RPi2.

                          I used the image linked in the first post and followed the instructions provided by Pete and others.

                          Regarding sound, you don't need to give it up. I found out that all you have to do is use nano to edit 'speak.sh', which should be in /usr/local/Homeseer.

                          Your edited file should look like this:

                          #!/bin/sh
                          flite -voice kal16 -t "$1"
                          #pico2wave -w=temp.wav "$1"
                          #aplay temp.wav

                          I don't know why, but my take is that there is no libttspico-utils available for Raspian yet (YMMV).

                            Yes noticed same here. I have historically installed it on an RPi2 as documented here.

                            I am thinking you can still install it manually (make install and such). It is documented here on the forum. I cannot find it right now though. Here it is on another link.

                            Install flite then...

                            apt-get install flite

                            Noticed that I have flite installed on my RPi2 (that I do not use with TTS / VR).

                            root@ICS-RPi2-Zee:~# flite --help
                            flite: a small simple speech synthesizer

                            version: flite-1.4-release December 2009 (http://cmuflite.org)


                            Not sure what I have installed on the Ubuntu 14.04 box as I use the speaker dot exe program and Microsoft SAPI for that box running on an Oracle virtual box in Windows server.

                            Test out the speak.sh bash script after flite installation.

                            Have a look too at Jasper here.

                            Lets move on to next steps.

                            What version of Homeseer 3 do you have or own a license to?
