First of all, I am excited to see Sonos TTS integration with RM. I have had to use one of my Raspberry Pi’s, gTTS and the Socos API libraries to get TTS to play when events happen.
I just started to test the TTS in “Rules Machine” with my Sonos system. I noted a few interesting observations that I am experiencing. Is this accurate?
- RM only plays the designated TTS on only ONE of the Sonos devices that is selected in the RM instead of the all Sonos devices that are in party mode? For example, I have 5 Sonos devices selected in “Party Mode” with the Kitchen Sonos being the lead. If I select the Kitchen Sonos in RM, should it not play the TTS to the group of Sonos devices?
- RM deletes the current Sonos playlist queue after playing TTS. Shouldn’t it take a snapshot, play the TTS and then restore the snapshot. For example, restore the playlist queue, volume level, mute, play mode, etc…
Just curious!
