Send Sonos TTS without Vera

[parkerc]

Hi

It’s a long shot but I thought I would ask…

I’m going to a friend house for the weekend - and as I know they have a couple of Sonos devices (and I will have access to their wifi)- for a bit of fun I was wondering if it was possible to send a TTS command in a way that does not involve Vera?

I have some Lua programmes on my iPad I could use if that helps…

Well, if you have already the files generated, you could use Google Play Music App to play it directly on SONOS…

Could you elaborate?

Only that I have some Lua apps on my IPad, if any of the TTS code used for Vera was of use.

I can see how the Google TTS URL is formed, I was curious if there was a way to push that to the player as Vera does.

Very true, I could take the .mp3 TTS files that the plugin creates and play them from my phone. However that would stop me doing anything real-time / dynamic.

Just found a way of accomplishing this with AutoVera. If you use Tasker for Android, AutoVera is a plugin for it, that’s able to control practically any device, including the Say service from Sonos Vera plugin.
