[Deprecated] Welcome Home

Love the app! So now for feature request(s) lol.

I have (3) entry points each with its own HE supported TTS device. Is it possible to add a feature that allows me to associate each entry point with its appropriate TTS device and then announce to the device which triggers it?

Example:

Front door contact sensor with Front Entry TTS device
Garage door contact sensor with Kitchen TTS device
Patio door contact sensor with Family Room TTS device

Presence for person #1 and #2 register and triggers Welcome Home. Which ever contact sensor opens/closes (set for closes) the message announces on that associated TTS speaker and now that notification is finished.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Just have to make 3 child apps to do this. One for each door/tts device combo that you would like.

aaron · February 9, 2019, 1:11am

After the message is spoken once will it not repeat on the other two child apps when the contact sensors close??

bptworld · February 9, 2019, 1:17am

It will only speak on the one being triggered, only way it would retrigger is if you opened another door within the 'How many minutes can the presence sensor be home and still be considered for a welcome home message '

So if you had it set to 10 minutes. Come home and go in through the Garage door, kitchen tts would speak. But, if you went and opened the patio door within that 10 minutes, it would trigger again and speak on the family room tts (based on your examples). Make sense?

Yeah that is what I don’t want to happen. Usually we get back and then let dogs out. Is there a way to add a cancel to the valid minutes after an announcement?

bptworld · February 9, 2019, 2:23am

Let me look into it.

Stupid question here, i have ordered a hubitat (i live in norway) so i am doing some research.

Come across this app and i like it.

Have one question since i cant test myself.

I only want this to trigger. When no one is home. So for example if my wife comes home and my door opens, i dont want it to fire, because that can get spammy quick, if we keep closing / opening the door.

So if no one is home, and x comes home, i want hey, welcome home x, if y comes home, then welcome home y. If both persons come home at the same time, welcome home x and y? Is that possible.

bptworld · February 9, 2019, 11:48am

That's exactly what this app does!

bptworld · February 11, 2019, 12:21pm

V2.0.0 - 02/11/19 - Major rewrite. Friendly Names for presence sensors are now in Parent app, so they can be shared across multiple child apps. Welcome Home now requires a new 'Virtual Device' using our custom 'Global Variables Driver'. Each child app will link to the same 'Virtual Device'. This way we can track who came home across multiple child apps!

After installing the new parent/child, make sure to go to Github and get the NEW driver to install. Once all 3 (parent/child/driver) have been installed, the parent app and each child app previously created will need to be modified to the new format. Please go into each parent/child and replace the missing data.

Thanks!

Update your child app and let me know how it goes...

V2.0.1 - 02/11/19 - Troubleshooting problem with Friendly Name

aaron · February 11, 2019, 3:37pm

It works between speakers. Now new issue. Volume is not being respected for my music player.

bptworld · February 11, 2019, 3:49pm

Going to need more info than that. What's it not doing?

Absolutely nothing has changed with that section of the app between versions.

aaron · February 11, 2019, 5:13pm

NVM I found the issue. Apparently there was an update to the Sonos Driver and now where the TTS Level Adjust setting is forced to 10%. I changed that to No Change and now the app works correctly.

BorrisTheCat · February 11, 2019, 5:43pm

do we need to do anything with the driver other than create it and select it in the app? Also I uses SONOS is it best to use that as a music player or speech synth?

bptworld · February 11, 2019, 7:07pm

Nope, no need to do anything with the driver. It's just their to pass the variables back and forth between the child apps.

I don't own any Sonos devices but I think you need to select music player for them to work.

aaron · February 11, 2019, 10:06pm

That is correct. Only music player will list them.

toy4rick · February 12, 2019, 1:19am

Hello

I updated the Child app code and when I updated my WH routine, the Done button doesn't do anything and I see this in the log

Thoughts?
Rick

bptworld · February 12, 2019, 1:20am

Did you install the new driver?

toy4rick · February 12, 2019, 1:31am

Thanks bptworld, that did the trick

I didn't see the Driver need up about 12 posts, sorry for the miss

Rick
