node.send({payload:"Hello there!"});.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 machine
Host Port
normally 1980. This is the IP of your machine, running node-red
TTS path
you can change the temp folder for storing cached TTS files. Default is "tmp". This is valid only if you select to purge the cache folder at each deploy or restart of node-red (see the next option below)
TTS Cache
Purge and delete the TTS cache folder at deploy or restart(default): on each deploy or node-red restart, delete all tts files in the cache. This is useful not to run out of disk space, in case you've a lot of TTS speech files.
Leave the TTS cache folder untouched (not suggested if you have less disk space): don't delete any tts file. Useful if you wish to keep the tts files, even in case of internet outages.
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!";). You can also play an mp3 stored on an http server, by passing the URL to the payload ( msg.payload = "http://www.myserver.com/alarm.mp3")Example of using http mp3 in a function node
node.send({payload:"http://192.125.22.44/intruderalarm.mp3"};
node.send({payload:"Warning. Intruder in the dinning room."};
msg.completed true when the node has finished playing, false if the node is playingmsg.connectionerror true when the node cannot connect to the Sonos device, false if the connection is restored.
