David,

start to install the Sonos virtual device from my first post. Add Sonos IP and port 1400 in the virtual device.

Create 2 variables, SonosLastCmd and SonosTTS.

Import my Notifications virtual device.

From a scene (LUA or block) you can press your wanted button in Notifications virtual device.

The txt string from that button will be added to SonosTTS variable and Sonos virtual device will read that variable and speak the text.

More question, you are welcome to ask

Jompa68,

Will the TTS string be "converted" every time or common MP3 files will be stored?

If yes, you see any delayes in this?

[jompa68 121]

It will be converted everytime. From when button is pressed to Sonos start to speak its about 3-5sec.

You should save them first then import them as virtual device in your HC2

jompa68,

Thanks the problem was with internet explorer. Krikoffs device is so much better than the plugin! And yours is good to!!

What values do the variables need?

[KristianO 15]

Could someone help out with a button to group all devices in Kirkoffs VD. It would help a lot upon triggering an alarm TTS, or playing radio in whole house when entering home.

[Tekvibes 7]

Maybe someone can help me here. I try to use Krikroff's VD but it doesn't really work. I have 4 Play:1 and 2 are set to stereo.

1. I made the 2 variables

2. I made 3 VD's and just change the IP and port to 1400

That's it

When I press the pause button on let's say Play:1 kitchen, that can pause kitchen or bathroom or bedroom, although they are of course different IP's. What am I doing wrong??

Edit: Seems as if the VD "runs" through my 3 rooms. When I set 3 different volumes in the rooms, the slider jumps through those 3 volumes in the VD and it does that in all 3 VD's...

[Guest David R]

Im a little confused of how to get sonos to talk. Here is my night time scene. I would like to make Sonos say goodnight? What do I have to add to it? Thanks

--[[

%% properties

131 sceneActivation

%% globals

--]]

local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

if (

( tonumber(fibaro:getValue(131, "sceneActivation")) == 15 )

or

startSource["type"] == "other"

)

then

fibaro:call(131, "setValue", "25");

fibaro:call(79, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(81, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(85, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(83, "turnOff");

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(92, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(96, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(100, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(119, "turnOff");

end, 2000)

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(155, "turnOff");

end, 4000)

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(121, "turnOff");

end, 6000)

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(158, "turnOff");

end, 8000)

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(127, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(139, "turnOff");

end, 10000)

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(124, "turnOff");

end, 14000)

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(129, "turnOff");

end, 16000)

setTimeout(function()

fibaro:call(131, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(133, "turnOff");

fibaro:call(135, "turnOff");

end, 18000)

end

fibaro:setGlobal("SonosTTS", "lng=en|dr=auto|vol=10|txt=YOUR TEXT !|");

[Guest David R]

Great thanks. Is it possible to create a while loop so it would repeat. Eg. The house alarm acivated..("the police have been notified") repeated?

I find the plugin quite a bit faster than the VD but the TTS is brilliant!

[Tekvibes 7]

Maybe someone can help me here. I try to use Krikroff's VD but it doesn't really work. I have 4 Play:1 and 2 are set to stereo.

1. I made the 2 variables

2. I made 3 VD's and just change the IP to the ip of the players and port to 1400

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here? I guess something is wrong with my IP adresses.

[Guest David R]

When I use TTS for say "Goodbye" sometimes it comes out of my play 3 and sometimes out of my play 1 and sometimes out of my connect amp. How do I choose which one or group them together? Also how do I assign a radio station to the virtual device buttons? Thanks

[Tekvibes 7]

The radio stations u have to chose in TuneIn at "My Radio stations". For the TTS, I wish I could help u, but I can't even reliably pause and play. When I push pause on 1 of my 3 Virtual devices, it pause whatever Sonos it wants. Do u have different IP adresses for different virtual devices? I don't really understand what Krikroff means by IP of "maitre" which means master and port 1400. Every Virtual device has same IP??

[Guest David R]

I have different ips for each sonos. I guessed you used tune in but where do I get the info for the virtual device buttons as in what station I need to input in button one etc. Thanks
