Node-Red

Quality Node-Red nodes

This node uses Polly TTS api and Node Sonos api.

This is a very early alpha, so use at your own risk!
Please see the Changelog

USE: Set the configuration of Polly (you need the free Amazon AWS credentials), then set your Sonos IP Address (Sonos doesn't allow to set a fixed IP to the sonos's device, so you need to reserve an IP using the DHCP Reservation function of your router/firewall's DHCP Server).

Send to the node, a payload with the text you want to speed out. For example {payload:"Hello there!"}.
You can send multiple messages at once. The node will handle the queue.

CONFIG:
Polly Config: create a config with your AWS credentials
Polly Voice: select your preferred voice
Polly Cache: leave it as is
Sonos IP: insert your sonos's IP
Sonos Volume: set the preferred TTS volume, from 0 to 100
Sonos Hailing: before the first TTS message of the message queues, Sonos will play an "hailing" sound. Leave blank for disabling the hailing. Put again hailing.mp3 to restore the hailing
Node-Red IP: set IP of your node-red
Node-Red Port: normally 1880. If you've changed the default port, adjust this field consequently

Known issues:
- If the Sonos device is set to LineIn, TVin or other physical input, the node doesn't work. You need to play something via Sonos App, then stop the play. Then the node will work again
