From a scene, be able to play a message on a speaker (Sonos)

Since creating a scene, have the ability to play a message on speakers.

  • Report a state change, for example the opening of doors.
  • Report an intrusion: Warning; you are entering a protected area!!
  • Give the day’s weather upon waking.

You will no longer be the one who speaks to Gladys but Gladys who will speak to you according to the scenes’ programming.

The new Sonos integration lets me move forward on this topic :slight_smile:

I propose a new scene action:

The video doesn’t seem to work for me, but cool anyway!

Ah, strange, I re-encoded the video, does it work better now? :slight_smile:

So we’re going to have to invest in a Sonos speaker ..:grinning_face:

I highly recommend them :slight_smile:

  • Excellent sound quality, and very powerful
  • Connection to Spotify/Deezer/etc…
  • Wi-Fi/Ethernet
  • Open API, which allows you to do this kind of thing

I bought mine on leboncoin for €150

Thanks for the advice.

Ah, and above all the power of Sonos (which I don’t take advantage of yet), it’s the multi-room sound, your whole house can play the same music in sync :slight_smile:

A le plaisir, bientot un nouveau pont coupé vers node red !
La toille s’éclaircit :smiley:

Just a simple question: if I’m listening to music and Gladys gives me some information, does she resume my music afterwards?

Aww, that’s really nice… But I’m sad: I don’t have Sonos but Google Home (and I don’t see myself reinvesting to replace them :blush:)
Would doing the same thing on Google Home be possible? I remember that the integration with Google cost you quite a lot of effort, @pierre-gilles, but I’ll try anyway :wink:

Yes! The music is paused, the voice speaks, and the music resumes afterwards :slight_smile:

I don’t know if Google Home provides these APIs (I don’t think so unfortunately), if you find resources on the subject and see that it’s possible, don’t hesitate to create a feature request :smiley:
