I have the device announce "sunset time" and it sounds pretty creepy through the speaker that I have connected to the audio port of my HomeSeer HomeTroller Zee S3. How do I improve?
Use plugins? Possible to play through Google Home Speaker (that would be great!)? Other speaker types? Play my own mp3 or wav rather than rely on TTS?
WHAT I TRIED: I found some online service that converts text to speech and provides downloadable MP3 or WAV, doing a better job at text-to-speech (TTS) than the Raspberry PI. But not sure how to get the file on the PI. The HS3 web interface allows me to point to a file and presents me with what look to be folders local to the PI hardware. When I set custom images for my Z-wave devices, I was able to point to URL and that worked. Doing so for audio files says "file does not exist" so I assume I need to get the file on the PI. How do I do that??
How can I get files on the HomeTroller? And how do I get best speech audio?
Thanks!
