Node-Red SonosPollyTTS

DESCRIPTION

This node transforms a text into a speech audio. It supports many voice languages. You can hear the voice through Sonos. This node uses Polly TTS api and Node Sonos api and requires NODE 8.9.x or higher. Please see the Changelog Do you want to support this project?

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!"});.

CONFIGURATION

• Polly Config: create a config with your AWS credentials. If you put incorrect credentials, you'll see this error in the node-red's debug window: "The security token included in the request is invalid."
• Polly Voice: select your preferred voice
• Sonos IP: insert your sonos's IP (If your Sonos device doesn't allow you to set a fixed IP, you need to reserve an IP using the DHCP Reservation function of your router/firewall's DHCP Server)
• Sonos Volume: set the preferred TTS volume, from "0" to "100" (can be overridden by passing msg.volume="40"; to the node)
• Sonos Hailing: before the first TTS message of the message queues, Sonos will play an "hailing" sound. You can select the hailing or totally disable it.
• 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

COMMANDS

• msg.volume set the volume (values between "0" and "100" with quotes)
• msg.nohailing temporarely doesn't play the Hailing sound prior to the message (values "true" or "1" with quotes)
• msg.payload the text to be spoken (for example msg.payload = "Hello World!";)
