Sending remote speech from a variable

[Bill Brower]

I can send a static message like:

hs.plugin("message server").messagetoclient "this is a test"

I haven't had luck with speaking from a variable from a script, is there a different context I can use?


Thanks!

William,

Can you show me the script or send it to me by email.

I remember have saw some type mismatch errors but I can’t reproduce it now when was trying to send not string value but just added the cstr(varaiable) and it was working.

Thanks,
Christian

sub main()
dim to_be_spoken
to_be_spoken = "This is a test"

hs.plugin("message server").messagetoclient to_be_spoken

end main

Thanks!

I don’t know if you have mistype in you message but it should be "end sub" like:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">sub main()
dim to_be_spoken
to_be_spoken = "This is a test"

hs.plugin("message server").messagetoclient to_be_spoken

end sub</pre>

if in your script you have "end sub" then try:
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">sub main()
dim to_be_spoken
to_be_spoken = "This is a test"

hs.plugin("message server").messagetoclient cstr(to_be_spoken)

end sub</pre>

Thanks,

That wasn't my script, that is just something I pulled from behind for an example.

Thank you!

ok, so maybe I just want it all

Any chance you can carry this messagetoclient bit to it's logical conclusion?

I've got quite a store of music on my homeseer server and I'd like to play it on the client. Sharing the area with MP's isn't always an option.

Another use would be redirecting HS/HSP speach to a client. Wonder if Rich has provided a way to duel path the speach requests so that both could occur.

Guy,

You can redirect the HS speech to a client by using the “HomeSeer Log Callback - Speech to Client:” Option in Message Server and In the HomeSeer Option the Text to Speech (TTS) tab enable the “Log Speech Phrases to Event Log” option

To get the client play a file MP3 file I would need to transfer it to the client copy to a temp folder then play it.

I working on a way to get the Server print screen to a client to see if there’s some windows that have pop up and it’s a 2 MB files if there some good transfer result from work it will the way the send the MP3 files.

Thanks,
Christian
