All-in-One Scene: How to do it Better

[cag014 731]

You can use standard HC2 global predefined variables as is, means just use them in the script.

The AOS local variables could be defined in global4local definition.

In your case iHumid variable could be local, but since gvAirChange variable set by virtual devices it should be defined as HC2 global variable.

To make sure no duplicate definition of the variables exist in HC2 and AOS local buffer, please reset AOS container (i.g. gVarName="aosGvar"),

local iAirChange = fibaro:getGlobal("gvAirChange")

You cannot use it in the script, but you don't need it, AOS retrieves the variables values online when in use.

Problem solved.  Had to replace the double switch for the device. It refused to accept the turnOff command. New switch configured and now everything works as it should. Happy Christmas Cag014 and thanks a lot for your help. I will keep automating some more stuff using the AOS.

Hi there,

 

I found this page

Please login or register to see this link.

 with HC3 Sonos tts implementation and I would like to get some help on how to use it in the AOS scene, please ☺️.

This has options to set the volume and the language, as in this example:

hub.call(753, "playTTS", "Living Room", 100, "en", "Hello world!").

 

 

Tried something, but no joy:

 

{0,"138",{state="value=true", trueAct={"","tts"," motion sensor breached"}}},

 

 

and in the TTS section:
.

 

--=========================== TTS Function ==========================

Function homeTts(text2speech,userParam)    

-- fibaro.call(5042,"talkText",tostring(text2speech))

 

hub.call(753,"playTTS",tostring(text2speech),"192.168.0.29")

 

  -- Write your own code of your TTS system

 end

Looking on the debug message, everything is correct.

My question is why you are using different arguments in the call

hub.call(753, "playTTS", "Living Room", 100, "en", "Hello world!").

vs

hub.call(753,"playTTS",tostring(text2speech),"192.168.0.29")

 

What happens if you send direct call  hub.call(753,"playTTS", "Hello world!", "192.168.0.29") is it works?

 

By looking on your working call, I suggest this call

Function homeTts(text2speech,userParam)    

-- fibaro.call(5042,"talkText",tostring(text2speech))

 

hub.call(753,"playTTS","Living Room", 100, "en", tostring(text2speech))

 

  -- Write your own code of your TTS system

 end

 

 

By the way you can use userParam variable for the volume.

For example 

Function homeTts(text2speech,userParam)    

-- fibaro.call(5042,"talkText",tostring(text2speech))

 

userParam=tonumber(userParam) or 100 -- if userParam not defined set volume to 100

hub.call(753,"playTTS","Living Room", userParam, "en", tostring(text2speech))

 

  -- Write your own code of your TTS system

 end

 

Now in AOS use as follow

{0,"138",{state="value=true", trueAct={"80","tts"," motion sensor breached"}}}, -- play the message at volume 80

 

Let me know if it works?

 

In my case I'm using two volume levels (day/night)

Hi, 

 

I did not use that line, it was just an example from QA to give you more info on what can be done.

 

However, the lines you provided work great !!!!! 🥰

 

I can choose the room, change the volume and language of the tts;

Thanks a lot!😊

 

 

How about, let's say that I want to choose the room/rooms where to play a TTS message. Can I write like this:

 

userParam1=tonumber(userParam1) or 100 -- if userParam1 not defined set volume to 100

userParam2=tostring(userParam2) or "Living room" -- if userParam2 not defined set to Living room as default

hub.call(753,"playTTS",userParam2, userParam1, "en", tostring(text2speech))

 

and then:

 

{0,"138",{state="value=true", trueAct={"Living room","80","tts"," motion sensor breached"}}}, -- play the message on Living room at volume 80

 

and if I want multiple rooms, I write "'Living room','Bedroom'" ?.

 

 

I searched this topic and couldn't find a working solution for Sonos TTS player, but now I hope this will help others 😉

The tts command supports only two arguments. userParam and text2speech.

However, you can create some structure inside of userParam and to get the data in the function.

for example

Let's assume that always userParam will contain volume and room definition, like "vol=80:room=LivingRoom,... "

Now inside function extract the data

Please make sure that Sono's QA supports multiple rooms separated by comma.

 looks like multiple rooms  for PlayTTS is not supported. 

 

This is just an example and you can create your own structure

Much appreciate your time.

Let me know if multiple rooms are supported, if not we can create a loop to call each room

Edited December 17, 2024 by cag014

[silvinnio 6]

Yes, I can see that is taking only one room.

Then I'll create rules for each room 😉

[cag014 731]

or you can create a loop inside the function. (I will help you)

let me know what you choose.

 

[silvinnio 6]

Also I have seen that in the last version of what you sent me, the room name does not accept space between the 2 words "LivingRoom" and now I am at work (offshore) and cannot test to see if it still works the TTS.

Tomorrow I will call my family and test it and if not, I'll use the previous version.

You can send me whatever you think is better, whenever you have time.

I am going to sleep now because the shift starts in 6.5 hours 😉.

 

Thanks again for your time.

😊

That should work (including spaces in the room names) for one or multiple rooms

Hi @cag014,

 

I have tested and it does not work for multiple rooms.

If there is more than one room in that field, it says nothing, although there is no error. As long as I leave only one room, it works.

So I'll do it separately for each room, for now.

Thanks.😉

HI THERE,

 

It's me, again 😊.

 

Still learning, but need help.

How do I add tts to announce that something has happened?

So, I want that in the interval 21:00~07:00 to check if the door is closed and if the danalock is unsecured, to make an announcement that the door will lock and then after 5 minutes to lock automatically and again announce that the door has been locked automatically.

 

This is the rule:

{0,"`entrance_door`",{state="value=false",timeSlot="21:00~07:00",trueAct={"`danalock`","secure","300","{`entrance_door:value=false}"}}},

 

and add the TTS line:
.

 

"vol=60:room=Living Room", "tts","The door is automatically locked!".

 

I would also like to add another condition to cancel the line if the danalock countdown started and someone manually locked the door in the meantime.
.

What else can I improve?

Send a push message?😁

Probably timing issue with Sonos QA. Try to set delay of half a second in the loop.

I am not familiar with danalock, but you could set a condition for TTS if the countdown started or closed manually.

{0,"`entrance_door`",{state="value=false",timeSlot="21:00~07:00",trueAct={"`danalock`","secure","300","{`entrance_door:value=false}","{coundown=true or manually=true}"}}},

Please replace countdown and manually with correct danalock properies and values

I do suggest sending a push notification also.  You may not to hear the TTS or not in home but push notification will always be available.

Hi @cag014,

 

From time to time I have the following error

Please login or register to see this image.

/monthly_2024_12/image.png.938b6b88318b9b8f7ac1a92b8aad2f40.png" />

 

Seems that the error is in the lines for TTS.

I have these line in the configuration code of TTS but no any active actions. Could this be the reason of QA crashing, that there is no number value attributed?

Can we use the same code but to add also a default volume and room  if no other specified or, what you recommend?

 

The thing that I have observed is that when the QA crash and restart by itself, all the timed actions like turnOff the light after xx seconds(see below), the lights will not turn Off.

Is there a fix for that or is my code wrong?

Edited December 19, 2024 by silvinnio

[cag014 731]

Ooops, my bad. There are some messages inside QA that sent by default to homeTts function, so we need to define a default option for TTS

Please add at the beginning of the function

By the way now when you'll use

The call will be redirected to the Living Room at volume 80. (Please set defRoom value as you needed.)

May I ask you what is miscare_intrare? is a motion sensor?

Edited December 19, 2024 by cag014

Hi  

 

I have seen these TTS commands and modified them accordingly but maybe I missed something or I did wrong😁. However, I have modified the lines as you said.

See bellow.

This is a motion sensor, but I have already modified this line because, when the trueAct was executed and the light was On, the light was changing the lux value over the threshold and the turnOff action was no longer executed, getting the message that the turnOff command skipped.  See the modified line below.

 

{0,"`motionsensor`",{state="value=true",trueAct={{"`lightswitch`","turnOn","{`lightsensor`:value <80}"},{"`lightswitch`","turnOff","10","{`lightswitch`:state=true}"}}}},

 

 

The problem I have seen is when the line is executed and the light is turned On, and then the app crashes and restarts automatically inside the waiting time frame for turnOff action, after the QA is restarted, I have no message that the light turnOff after the original time expires. I do not get any messages.

 

 

 

 

[cag014 731]

Did you add the lines in function that I sent to you?

Please login or register to see this code.

[silvinnio 6]

Yes. 

This is what I have now:

 

function homeTts(text2speech,userParam)  

  local defRomm="vol=80:room=Living Room" --set default volume and room

  userParam=userParam or defRomm --in case userParam is null

  userParam=userParam:len()<2 and defRomm or userParam -- in case userParam is blank string

  vol=tonumber(userParam:match("vol=(%d+):"))

  rooms=userParam:match("room=(.*)")..","

  for room in rooms:gmatch("(.-),") do

    hub.call(753,"playTTS",room, vol, "en", tostring(text2speech))

        hub.sleep(500)

  end

 

end

 

 

But so far I did not get any crash messages. Will have to monitor.
