Is there a repository where we can download typical notifications such as “Door is open”, or “Mail has arrived” etc. It’s seems a lot of these notifications are very common, no need for everyone to try to figure out how to make their own files.
If there is no repository, anyone want to make one for the community?
There’s the Morgan Freeman versions:
A while back I was looking for a change to the robotic voice used for Sonos notifications so I found a guy out on fiverr.com that did Morgan Freeman voice impersonations. These phrases are pretty tailored to my setup, but I thought someone out there might get some use out of a couple of them.
UPDATE - I added some more phrases for a bit more granularity with the responses, and removed the ones that did not pertain to the Morgan Freeman voice impersonation
Morgan Freeman impersonation phrases:
Mail has arrived
Motion detected
Motion in basement
Motion in garage
Motion in game room
Motion in bedroom
Motion in living room
Motion in theater
Motion in wine cellar
Motion in kitchen
A door opened
A door closed
Front door opened
Front door closed
Front door locked
Front door unlocked
Back door…

They don’t compare to Morgan Freeman, but I’ve posted several of the MP3’s that I’m using with the Aeon Labs doorbell here: http://darwinsden.com/audio-clips-for-smart-home-automation-systems/ .
I’d be willing to add more if anyone has some they would like to see posted for general consumption
And more in the Alexa voice:
So this is practically identical to my Morgan Freeman Sonos Notification smartapp from a couple months ago, but instead of Mr. Freeman’s voice I yearned for the smooth, sultry voice of Alexa to notify me if someone is bashing in my front door or if there is a water leak in the basement.
Credit to Sam Machin for his web app which I recorded the Alexa phrases from via Soundflower & Audacity for Mac. Also thank you to @geko for his work on VLC Thing .

Unable to download these files. Says its “Forbidden” in chrome and “Access Denied” when opened in a new tab.
Yeah, for some reason I couldn’t download the Mogan Freeman files. I got one or two to work but that was it. The Alexa ones work.
Since these files are provided by another community member, it would be a courtesy to go to that person’s thread as I provided those links already. I am now regretting having mentioned them in this thread.
