Ever since watching Ferris Bueller's Day off (the doorbell scene), I've had visions of having the barking dog sound after a trigger of some sort....senor/switch/etc.
Does anyone know of a "How-To" guide floating around using HE Rule Machine and Google Home orrrrrr, what tools are needed?
I saw a member had used a special command [link] within RM but I'm not sure how that was implemented; I'm still on the front side of the learning curve.
You just rocked my world @at9. Worked like a charm.
Cool, thanks. From what I see, here's the flow. Select: Set Mode or Variables, Run Custom Action > Run Custom Action > Speech Device > Device (mySpeaker) > playTrack
This is awesome.
Now to stop the action when motion stops! ::working on it::
Here's mine. I have a motion sensor outdoors (Xiaomi, directly connected to my hub, under our porch so it's kept dry) and I have a Google Mini randomly play from a collection of sound snippets hosted on a Raspberry Pi. It works perfectly. First I have a chime played on the Aeotec Siren/Chime 6, and the kitchen lights come on if it's evening or night, followed by different randomly chosen dogs, coyotes howling, or a sound called "zombies eating a brain" or suchlike, which is a whole barrel of laughs
