TTS seems to work brilliantly now - weather forecast for today, tonight and tomorrow work really well. Custom messages work just as well - well done guys
Have noticed that the resume âcurrently playing music afterâŚâ option doesnât appear to work though - sometimes my Sonos playlist vanishes entirely and other times it reverts to the previous playlist. Anyone else noticing this?
@slagle Are there any plans of making the Speaker Notification app a child app under a parent. That way all speaker nitifications are grouped. This would have been a good opportunity to do that dont you think?
Awesome news! Thnx, this is why i got ST in the first place. Any plans on making weather forecast available for the Netherlands (or just my dutch zipcode?) LOL
I also have a R5 360 and I canât get it to work. Installed âSpeaker Notify With Soundâ. I see in live logging that I get the temperature information but it doesnt play on the R5. Tried to launch it manually, click done again, nothing. I live in Canada, but I get the right information on live logging, so I donât think itâs the issue.
It now works. I tried every settings, launch manually, tried witch some triggers, set a alternate volume, etc. I donât know, but something is strange. I will check with Rule Machine if itâs easier.
For those interesting in beta testing the parent/child version of the Talking Alarm Clock, watch this space as I have a new version planned by the end of next week. If everyone likes it I will submit it to replace the version shipping with SmartThings.
Currently the âResume music after notificationâ option does not seem to be wotking. Is there any other way to make it work? @rayzurbock Does big talker support this?
It is my understanding that SmartThings Sonos support is pretty much a hack job at the moment until Sonos releases an official API.
I do not have a Sonos to test with however, @greg has helped me tremendously debugging Sonos with BigTalker. I believe he would tell you that Yes, resume using BigTalker does work, somewhat. It works in the fact that after it has been playing music for a minute and a notification comes through the notification will interrupt, adjust the volume to your desired notification level, play, adjust the volume back to what it was and then âresumeâ playing by starting the last song over again.
I was experiencing the same issue, however it was because even though the track was playing, this status hadnât made its way back into ST. there was a large delay in this coming in. I have added my sonosâs into Polster with a refresh of 1 minute, this makes it work far more reliably as long as you understand it has a maximum latency of 1 minute when you test.
as long as the status on you ST is showing as playing then it will resume
