I guess, I found a solution.
There is a freetts.com website allowed you to convert text to mp3
in many different languages and download mp3.
Than this mp3 file(s) could be stored locally on a hub and played to
the Symfonisk (sonos) speakers.

URI : http://hub_ip/local/filename works very well.
Somebody mentioned for the /local/ hub file location
just /local/finame should work but it does not.
Is this shortcut actually correct?

I am OK to use http://hub_ip/local/filename but it will
be nice if this string could be shorter.

From your post:
You can see the commands associated with capabilities here.
https://docs.hubitat.com/index.php?title=Driver_Capability_List

There is a command for the Speech Device:

speak(text, volume, voice)

text required (STRING) - Text to speak

volume optional (NUMBER)

voice optional (STRING) - AWS Polly voice name

So, if I use optional voice attribute does it mean I can select
"voice" dynamically?

22

I do this in one of my drivers - it has to be one of the names in the AWS Polly List. You can see them from Hubitat Settings --> Default Text To Speech . Just the name.

I was thinking about RM, not a driver or app.

24

Sorry, the speak(text, volume, voice) is groovy so that was my context. You'd have to look in RM's dropdowns to see if uses the optional argument. My memory says no. I think that is one reason I wrote my driver.

25

an oversight on our part that the voice option in the sonos and chromecast drivers was not implemented, this will be updated in a 2.2.9 hotfix.

Will that be an optional parameter accessible from the RM apps (4 and 5)? Or is it only going to impact groovy calls?

Thanks

as always most anything can be called via custom actions, however I'm 99% sure that it's being added or will be added to RM5.1 as an option to the existing Speak action, but don't shoot me if it doesn't appear in a 2.2.9.x release...
