Any chance of enabling selection of multiple proxy devices in a child app?
I have a scenario where I want to announce on various combinations of speakers based on the kind of announcement. For example: Laundry alerts, or Occupancy alerts.
It's easy enough to create different proxy devices for those alert types. But currently, since child apps are limited to 1 proxy, it's possible to get to a place where child apps have to be duplicated for each alert type to enable the child device restriction capabilities. Especially if the child apps are single speakers.
Good morning, Is it possible to add HSM status as a trigger? Id like to have my google home speak when the system changes to armed, disarmed ect. It looks easier to do that hear than on rule machine. Also, will the TTS message go to a google home without an internet connection?
Thanks for this! I have a situation that I was wondering if the app could help with. I'm using the highly unofficial community Alexa TTS app, and was hoping to use a single "proxy" device to direct output to, say, one or two of these depending on where motion is detected (and where I therefore likely am in the house). It sounded like I might be able to do this from the app description, but from actually using the app, it seems like this restriction applies to all the speakers, so I may have misunderstood the purpose. (In this case, it's because, if I'm reading correctly, people say that sending to more to about three Alexa devices at the same time causes rate-limiting problems, apparently complete TTS failure.)
Am I missing something? If not, I might try making some modifications to see if I can create a "speech director"-type thing myself to suite these needs.
That's exactly what this app does.
I have all my announcements sent to the proxy driver, then when motion is detected in a room with a speaker.. the announcement goes to that speaker.
You just need to create a child app for each speaker and use the same proxy configured for each one.
Oohhhh, I see the secret now is one app for each "real" speaker and the same "proxy" device for all that I want to be used as part of that. I figured I was missing something since the app's description sounded exactly like what I wanted, but I couldn't figure out how to do it in one gigantic child app like I was trying to do. Thanks again!
After adding all the code.
Install Cobra Apps
Then from within Cobra apps select and install speaker central
Then from within speaker central you install & configure the child app (which does the talking)
No Joy
I removed Speaker Central and Cobra
Rebooted the hub
Renamed the speaker - Shop Speaker
Saved Cobra Apps, Speaker Central parent and child, and ProxySpeechPlayer
Installed Cobra Apps
Opened Cobra Apps and added Speaker Central to the container
When I tried to add a speaker and hit Done it would think for 3-4 seconds and refresh the page.
No speaker device was created
After several hours of removing and reinstalling Cobra and re-configuring, Cobra will not add any apps at all.
I believe that you need to setup your speakers first with ‘media renderer’ app
I don’t use that as I have sonos, alexa and google home devices and my speakers connect directly to Hubitat
My app will only work once you have setup one or more speakers correctly
Looks like the driver is missing some functionality/signatures that break with the New Notification App. Any chance you'll be revisiting?
