Adding Sonos Speakers to Events

[brittonsm]

I'm very new to HomeSeer, so I apologize in advance if this is to basic - if there is somewhere that has a knowledge base I should be reading prior to trying these forums please let me know.

I'm wanting to have the Sono's speakers upstairs tell me if someone is at the front door if the bell is pressed - I've gotten to the point that I want to "Edit Speaker Client List", but it's blank. How do I add the Sonos speakers? I've downloaded the PlugIn already and this is what it shows.

Welcome to the Sonos forum ...

So you would enter in the text box under the "Selected Speaker Client", you enter $SONOS$DoorBell$" and then click "Add". Be careful to enter it exactly as this info is case-sensitive!

You can find the help file/info, if you click on the tool button at the top of the HS page, click "Help" and select "Sonos"

Be safe out there from Dorian. Which parts of NC are your homebase?

Well adding that speaker did something - but it doesn't actually say anything . . . It did pause the music and gave me this on the phone, but nothing came out of the speaker - am I missing something else?

Which platform are you running this on? If Linux, you need to have the right speaker client installed (search forum on flite).

[dcorsus]

If you run this on Windows, is HS running as admin?

Looks like Linix - says it's already installed. . .

Do you have a speak_to_file.sh file in your root directory. If so, what's in it? It should call flite and not pico2wav

[brittonsm]

I do not have a speak_to_file.sh file in my root directory - I had to learn how to get access to it to see the files

Now doing some Google I see that the .sh file is a linix script file; I know nothing about writing that - is there a how to here?



I did locate a speak_to_file.sh file in /usr/local/HomeSeer/

This is it's

#!/bin/sh
flite -o "$1" -t "$2"

Sorry meant to say HS root directory, so that is fine.
Could you enable the Sonos PI debug flag (on the PI's config page), run the announcement and then click on "logs" on the HS page and cut/paste the FULL log, perhaps to a file and attach it to your post.
Have you checked the log by the way, any errors? Double checking, you didn't make any changes to your linkgroup table or event, right?

[brittonsm]

Error - plus full log attached.

[dcorsus]

The log file, doesn't capture the above error, so probably not complete. No biggie, the error above is THE key. Unfortunately I can't see all the info, could you cut/paste it as text instead of a picture? I seems to reference the speak_to_file.sh as I would have expected, so we are close. Check that speak_to_file.sh has allowance to be executable (x rights), if that is OK, then the issue is somewhere around flite. Did you buy this HS controller straight from HS or was this a personal install. If it came from HS, I would expect all of this to be set properly unless there is some authorization issue of sorts .....

[brittonsm]

I bought this right off the HS website; I'm a rookie so I just picked it up to start playing. I sincerely appreciate how much you help everyone here on the board, can see you everywhere!

I see the error on row 835 of the log file if you're using NotePad++



But regardless I checked the properties of speak_to_file.sh and the "X" is checked - - -



I did try giving it Write Access, but go the same error . . .

[dcorsus]

I just found the error in the log file, not sure how I looked over it. flite is not doing what it should do OR something else wrong (more likely the latter).
Can you confirm that you downloaded the Pi through the updater and not through copy/paste from another environment?
Check whether you can see this directory /usr/local/HomeSeer/html/Sonos/Announcements and if so, whether you see any file in there (it should contain Ann_Door_Bell_0.wav)
