Sonos or other play a custom message

Under Consideration

Smart Things can do this already quite easily, see here https://youtu.be/M9ssqIja8gU Why can we not have a puzzle box for this to use with the Sonos. No setting http post etc, just a box to play a certain message.

I would be very good to have customs commands sent over speakers when you trigger something. Or even when it is programmed in and happens automatically. Nice to have a message sent to you that the sprinklers have just been started, or going to be started in 15 minutes. Great use for automatic answering on doorbells, and a sound confirmation is very handy for sight impaired people and is the next level for voice control.

Hi,

i may add, why not having the possibility of buying a zipato modula (just like the security module, od r33Hz module) with a simple Jack 3mm plug where you can connect simple speakers (like computer speakers).

That would probably be way less expensive than a Sono system.

We can even push up to have a SIP server integrated in that 'sound module' as it existes on the Zipatile.

THat way, your Zupabox can speak at a reasonable cost!

not sure about the 3.5mm expansion module. But the SIP integration into speakers is a good idea. Unifi/Ubiquiti do this now with their AP AC EDU. It is awesome. To have this ability would be great, but an easy method of using via a puzzle piece.


Actually to have a Unifi add on for this system would be absolutely ideal for installations.

I was actually mentioning the 3.5mm because everybody has some ole speakers at home. If you just want youy zipa to say 'alam armed' or 'alarm disarmed' from time to time, you might not want to spend hundreds of euros !

A basic soun card cost nothing, so the module itself with this feature would be cheap !
