Sonos Advanced

[stephenc]

Hello, all. I got Sonos Advanced installed and can play text to speech. Works great! I can toggle play and stop, so the control aspect is working.

Or another great option is:

File Manager+ (BETA)

I recently wrote a little app which rotates through several images on the Hubitat File Manager. It was to replace the Google Photos library app I had been using for years. Anyway, I needed to get several images on the hub. Using the Hubitat File Manager wasn't a great experience as it only lets you upload 1 file at a time (with multiple clicks). Also, once they're uploaded managing these images is even harder. No searching, no folders, no spaces in the names. So, I figured I'd try to create my…

I play mp3 files from the Notifications built-in app, using files stored on the hub.
