Yes, that’s true, that’s why I mentioned LANnouncer which can send notifications and other directed speech via TTS on the Android device. With the Echo dot, you can pipe music, etc. outside to that Bluetooth speaker.
I have no idea if that has been done yet, I have done a little bit of a search with no results on this particular subject… But tonight I got my Amazon Echo to say, “The Front Door is Open” when my front door opened! It is customizable as to what I want it to say. It’s freakin Awesome!!!
Here is what you need to do
Follow this link and install all of the stuff it says.
DO NOT USE ver 1.1.14 of Big Talker, DO USE ver 1.1.13. TTS works in the older version and not the newer one.
After you do all of that stuff, do this
Connect your Android device to your Amazon Echo via Bluetooth.
Now your Echo will give you voice notifications.
What can you do with this??
You don’t have to use Echo, you can just use a bluetooth speaker or you can use the Android Device.
But how totally cool is i…
