SonosTTS

[jeffsui]

I've whipped up a little workflow which will allow you to send TTS (Text to Speech) phrases to various Sonos devices (assuming you have more than one).  I primarily use it to send messages to my kids room telling him to clean up.

 

Directions are available at the GitHub Repo.

 

The plugin works by using lame and say to generate an .mp3 file (called tts.mp3) which is stored somewhere on a sonos accessible path (such as //imac/share).  Once the file is generated the plugin utilizes SoCo (a python lib) to tell sonos to play the mp3 file.  

 

You can get the latest release at :

I've only tested it with my setup Play1,Play3,Amp and it works on all these devices.
