Can a Voice Monkey event play an audio file?

[Richel]

I have mcsMQTT Voice Monkey up and running on text-to-speech and have created events with it. I was wondering if it is possible to create an event that uses a specified audio file, too? The Alexa app has some brief sounds that can be incorporated, but I can see no way to incorporate one's own audio file. Is this even possible? Thanks.

Section 5.3 of mcsMQTT.pdf describes the available options and audio file is not an explicit one. This list is based upon the Voice Monkey skill. The video stream being mjpeg also looks to be only video without audio.

What you can try to do is use the websiteURL option and embed a audio file tag such as HTML Audio (w3schools.com) . If it works it likely will only work on the Echo Show devices.

Michael: Thanks. I don't have the Echo Show, though. By the way, I am very pleased with the BLE part of mcsMQTT. Thanks for your help with it. Elliott
