Title: using Program.Say
Post by: enterprised on January 05, 2015, 03:37:42 AM
In a system withe the following hardware:

If I have an app running on HG 1 which uses the "Program.Say("The garage door has been opened", "en-US");" code, can I hear this on HG 3 when I have HG 1 linked to HG 3 in interconnections?

If not, is there a way to forward voice (speaking notifications using Program.Say) from one HG box to another?

Does voice (speaking notifications using Program.Say) actually work on a Raspberry Pi or only on MS Windows?

Peter

Hey Peter, is your Program.Say working correctly and you can hear it? I've had some issues with this.

If it is indeed working, you can do this a few simple ways via the programming interface but I do not believe it would happen by default, it depends on how your program is written.

Have you looked at the Status events forwarder? Program 75.

It works fine with programs running native on the windows PC, but not with anything running on my raspberries who are using the interconnections (program 75) to communicate with the PC. All interconnected modules and programs are running fine, they are just not talking to me with program.say.

Hi, there's a perfect solution for your problem. Jshan has created a notification module for android. On android there's a program "voice notify" this speaks out loud all notifications via tts. You can add your notifications in your program, like"the garage doors are open" .
I think its worth to try.
Success!
Bye, Hans
