Hi
I've been playing around with using the Sonos TTS to announce ringing phones and door bells (just in case you don't hear them when the music is otherwise playing).
There appears to be quite a substantial delay between triggering the speech event and the speech coming out over the speakers.
I'm not sure whether the delay is caused by the HS/plug-in or whether it is purely a Sonos thing?
Here's a couple of thoughts/questions:
- Is there anyway to accelerate the time taken from triggering the event to he Sonos device speaking? Perhaps using a pre-recorded MP3 file rather than TTS?
- Grouping multiple zones for a single TTS announcement adds to the delay, but having a single event triggering to multiple zones individually makes the TTS happen in serial rather than parallel. Is there a way round this?
Any other thoughts/guidance on how to make this happen faster?
