node-red-contrib-sonospollytts

Node-Red

This node uses Polly TTS api and Node Sonos api and requires NODE 8.9.x or higher.

April 2018: This node entered stable beta release. Use at your own risk and please tell me if you have issues. 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).

Features:
- TTS queues handling. If you send multiple payloads to the node, it'll handle it in his own queue.
- TTS caching. Amazon AWS charges you if you use Polly for a very high rate of text to speech request. The node caches the TTS, so if you requests the same TTS the second time, the node will take it from the cache instead of asking to the Amazon Polly service.
- Send a simple payload with the text you want to speech out. For example node.send({payload:"Hello there!"});.

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
