[OBSOLETE] Door Open Chime or Voice? (2015)

Wiki Projects & Stories
3

Options I am aware of:

  1. Sonos
  2. Cheap Android Tablet and Android Speech: Android as a Speech/Alarm Device released! And Updated!
  3. Hopeful - Aeon Doorbell - Aeon Doorbell Type Beta

Sonos is expensive if all you are using it for is announcements, plus I have heard it can be slow to load the MP3s, I don’t have first hand experience with this.

I like the android option, but it is complex and with complexity I expect upkeep and failures.

I have the Aeon Doorbell, but I am not a coder so I am waiting on the charity of the devs to create a device type that can call upon arbitrary sounds loaded on it so it can be queued to tie those sounds to arbitrary events.
