[OBSOLETE] LANnouncer with IFTTT (2016)

No casino page there. Possibly your browser got DNS poisoning?

Have a question about LANnouncer, seeing that it can do its own speech processing

curl “http://192.168.1.45:1035/?SPEAK=Awaiting your command&@DONE@”

  • Speaks (via TTS) the words “awaiting your command.”

What does BigTalker do for the setup? By default ST Classic SMH Custom Alerts allow for a custom speech field. Why not just use that? Granted, I havent been able to get that to work, as the LANnouncer device doesnt appear anywhere other than in BigTalker

Just wondering

I have installed LANnouncer as a ST device. I can make it play a tone via the ST app. But when trying to add it as part of an automation process, it only shows up as a device for siren alerts not for speech. It does not show up as an audio or chime capable device. any ideas?

Is that a monitoring rule in SHM? Should come up as an option if you add the following to the metadata section of the DTH:

capability “Audio Notification”

Hmm. I installed LANnouncer (LA) groove file per instruction. There was no mention of adding any metadata. Can you please point me in the right direction. I don’t know what DTH is. Basically, my understanding was that LA would shows up as an audio device or a Text2Speech device. But apparently one or more steps is missing.

You’re not missing any steps, LANnouncer doesn’t work with some smartapps and rules due to the capabilities it was coded to have. I was suggesting making a modification to the LANnouncer code to allow SHM to see it as an option for those rules. This would require opening the ide portal (where you pasted the code to create the device type handler, or DTH), and adding a line of code.

You can use BigTalker2 or WebCore which will see LANnouncer as a TTS device.

Are you using the new or Classic SmartThings app? My suggestions apply to the Classic app.
