Ok after much trial and error I was finally able to get my TTS working with my Zee S2 and my Sonos speakers. The only drawback after all this work is that the voice sounds too robotic and is difficult to understand. Hence I searched for other more natural speech alternatives. I came upon the RPi text to speech web page which provided a script which would provide a more natural sounding voice via googles TTS engine. I got the script working (attached as a text file) via the command line and was even able to get it to run via a HS3 event, however, to run the script as a HS3 event I needed to use the "run another program or process" action in HS3 which doesn't allow selecting a speaker client.
Anyone have any ideas how I can use the voice script along with the sonos PI? Is there a way to use the "speak" action but insert the script and text inside the field?
