Let me try to help. This is summarized from http://www.keybounce.com/lannouncer/
-
Get and install LANnouncer from the Play store
or directly from this link: http://www.keybounce.com/bin/LANnouncer.apk -
Once you have it running on your Android, look for the IP address (something like 192.168.1.xx) and the port # which is usually 1035
-
Select All and Copy this Device Handler
You will use this code to create a new speech device for SmartThings -
Log into your IDE https://account.smartthings.com
-
Once logged in, click on a link My Device Handlers and then click at the right a green button “Create New Device Handler”
-
Click on a link that says “From Code” and paste what you copied earlier into the field below.
-
At the bottom, click on “Create”, then at the top right button, click on “Save”
-
Click on the button that says “Publish”, then select “For Me”. You have now created a Device Handler
-
Back on the main screen, click on a heading link “My Devices”
-
Click on a green button “New Device” and configure it with a name such as “Android Speaker”
-
In the Network ID field, just enter any number. Don’t worry about some of the other fields except for Type. Click the button underneath it and select LANnouncer Alerter (device type) that you created earlier. Probably near the bottom of the list and then click on the blue “Create” button.
-
Now go to the SmartThings app and look for the newly created Device called “Android Speaker” under your “Things” tab
-
Select it and click on the gear icon at the top right. Enter your IP address and Port# from the installed LANnouncer app on your Android device. Then press Done
-
Now test it by clicking on the “Tone” or “Speak” tile. You should hear something come out of your Android device. To hear it on your Echo, you’ll need to connect your Android device via Bluetooth to the Echo.
-
Now install the smartapp BigTalker 2 ([Release] BigTalker 2.x)
-
When first configuring BigTalker, choose Speech Player as your device.
With BigTalker, you can configure Chimes, Sirens, and Text to Speech synthesis. A list of special commands can be found here: http://www.keybounce.com/lannouncer/commands/
I think that’s it. Let me know if this works for you. I kinda did this from memory.
