Not sure what the crack is, but I’ve had an annoying side effect for months. When Shm reverts to home mode, the announcement says “security Disabled… Security Disabled”. I.e duplication. Doesn’t happen with anything else. Any suggestions? Ta

I am not able to get BigTalker2 to work with cast-web-api and Fully Kiosk Browser controller. I can get Fully Kiosk Browser to talk but I can’t get imy google mini to talk. In BigTalker, configure defaults, Talk with, I have tried selecting just cast-web-api, just my google mini and I have tried selecting both, but I do not get anything through my mini. Can someone give me some tips to get it working?

Joe_Mcnelly · June 18, 2019, 10:46pm

Any reason one echo device would stop broadcasting? I don’t see any errors anywhere, just stopped working in my bathroom, everywhere else seems good still

Joe_Mcnelly · June 18, 2019, 11:16pm

Seemed to fix itself after I played around with sending other stuff to it hmm idk

urbanryno · June 23, 2019, 10:52pm

A few things…

I had this working with the old version. I deleted them from smartapps and then added the code back for parent and child. The app on my phone looks good - shows version 2. However, I can’t get anythign to work through my Sonos.

Is there any documentation on the app settings? For example, what is “talk now?” What does it do?
under Event groups, I tried to create one to test based on time. I never hear audio even though the Sonos logs show “playTrackAndRestore” sent by BigTalker2-Parent-Dev.
when modifying “specific time” i see a “toggle to test schedule phrase.” what is that supposed to do? Is it supposed to send audio to sonos one time? confused by toggling a test on/off.
all of my defaults have adequate volume, etc.
one thing i do notice, as well, is that under the Sonos events, every few minutes BT sends an app_command to either refresh or playTrach and Restore.

I’m lost. not sure why this doesn’t work for me. I should have stuck with old 1. version, I guess. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I have been hearing the error about the weather token not being available for a while now when i have the Big Talker time event triggered every weekday to wake me with the time and weather. I finally just got around to troubleshooting the issue and found this thread. Any chance weather is going to come back to SmartThings / Big Talker? I saw you have Big Talker available for Hubitat and you have weather implemented… is that going to make it’s way back to the SmartThings version? I’m not quite ready to move to Hubitat as much as I would love to, it’s just a lot of work to migrate everything over from ST with the plethora of sensors/switches/smart devices I have in my house.

interesting, been using bigtalker v.1 for months with my samsung r1 speaker. no issues apart from the annoying “bigtalker refresh” timeline logs every 2 mins on my speaker. so, i removed bigtalker v.1 and fresh installed bigtalker v.2 parent and child. exact same setup as v.1 but get no sound despite seeing bigtalker logs on events. any ideas?

I have just started seeing a bug. When I arm or disarm my yale alam, which is integrated to ST, it fire one of the big talker routines . The routine is based on mode change to evening, but my alarm is not dose not control/effect the ST modes (classic app) any ideas

mark_cockcroft · September 12, 2019, 6:46pm

Fixed in my alarm DH it had a send event “mode” (alarm mode) which big talker some how was picking up on. Changed it to “Amode” and it stopped happening

BatraD · September 17, 2019, 11:01pm

with the latest update from ST for Sonos, my sonos speakers are no longer announcing events

Appreciate if we can get an update to the app to make it work again

thanks

Jaroslav_Cihlar · September 18, 2019, 4:07pm

Hi, could you please point me out for the documentation in LANnouncer website? I’m having same problem and cant find anything how to solve it. Thx

jasonrwise77 · September 19, 2019, 6:19pm

@rayzurbock Are you planning on updating big talker to accommodate the new sonos DTH?

Jimxenus · September 19, 2019, 6:57pm

If you’re trying to get LANnouncer installed properly, I have summarized the steps here:

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.

mrsmartypants · September 23, 2019, 4:13am

yeah, i need this too – this app doesn’t work with sonos anymore since they made the changes.

dman97 · September 25, 2019, 4:49pm

I have been using bigtalker2 with SHM Delay for a few months and recently have had an issue. I have bigtalker 2 say that I have 30 seconds to exit the facility on a google home mini and a lenovo smart display. The message is coming through fine on the mini but now it will start on the the lenovo and not finish. It will beep like it always does but it does not say the message. Any ideas on what I can do to get this working again? thanks.

mark_cockcroft · September 26, 2019, 7:27am

I have gotten bigtalker to work with my PC using the VLC media. However, I would like my new sonos speaker to work instead so I can let my laptop go to sleep when not active. I had to change my sonos device type to DLNA player for it to even show up in the big talker app as an option but I do not hear any announcements coming from sonos.

First question is do I need to update my device type like I did?
Do I need additional app in ST to get this to work or should it just have worked. I did see an post about the new sonos integration where the device type should be set up to LAN Sonos Player Websocket but when using this device type I do not see it as a speaker option in bigtalker.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Jimxenus · September 29, 2019, 4:12pm

When you first run BigTalker, it will ask if the device is a music player or TTS. I don’t know about Sonos but maybe you have to set it to TTS, so reinstall BigTalker and change it. I think you can also have two instances of BigTalker running.

denicePete · September 29, 2019, 4:38pm

Thanks for response.

Deleted and readded still no sound coming from sonos but I hear it coming from VLC media player. I did try changing the device type back to the one sonos is suggesting with upgrade but did not fix it either. I don’t have twob big talker running I have two devices selected in the text to speech section. Do you think I can’t have two speaker sources?
