Thanks. That makes total sense. I will apply that.
BTW. I just set up two more VLCThings with Raspis to work with Big Talker. I thought you might find this interesting. $65 Home Automation Announcer . I’m setting up zones so there is one master that says everything in my office. The rest announce nearby where the action occurred.
Any chance of a second zone for A/C? I have two units.
