You can now use Smart Home Monitor and Speaker Notify with Sound to play mp3s by track number on the Aeon Labs Doorbell.
** See first post in topic for most recent version of this DH **
You’ve always been able to do this using Rule Machine, but it no longer requires setting up Custom Commands for each track.
Smart Home Monitor
The Custom Monitoring section of SHM supports Audio Notifications and if you choose “Custom Message” for the Notification, you can specify a track number to play in the “Play this message” field.
Speaker Notify with Sound
You can setup a Custom Message action and specify a track number to play in the “Play this message” field.
Rule Machine
You can use the “Send or speak a message” action to play a specific track number. You do this by entering the track number in the “Custom message to send” field, enabling the “Speak this message?” option, and choosing the doorbell for the “On this music device”.
For all the methods mentioned above, the custom text can either be a track number or one of the following commands:
- beep
- pushButton
- play
- siren
- strobe
- both
- on
- off
- stop
I don’t plan on publishing this device handler so I figured ease of use is a lot more important than following device handler best practices.
