Dashticz - Function - Playsound/Speak

[DewGew]

This is a simple text to speak using Speech Synthesis API to make your browser speak. I had to use the variables onCalled and offCalled for the speak to run once else it starts over again and again and....maybe someone have simpler way to do this.

Put this codes in custom.js:

Speech function:

Code: Select all

// Speech function 
function speak(textToSpeak) {
   var newUtterance = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance();
   newUtterance.text = textToSpeak;
   newUtterance.lang = 'en-GB'; // change to your langage if its supported (nl-NL, en-GB, de-DE, etc)
   window.speechSynthesis.speak(newUtterance);
}

Device:

Code: Select all

// Devices that run speak function
// change 136 to your idx
var onCalled_136 = false
var offCalled_136 = false
function getStatus_136(idx,value,device){
	if(device['Data']=='On'){
		offCalled_136 = false
		if(!onCalled_136){
			speak('Device is on');
			onCalled_136 = true
		}
	}
	else{
		onCalled_136 = false
		if(!offCalled_136){
			speak('Device is off');
			offCalled_136 = true
		}
	}
}

New functions for playsound and speak is added in latest Beta.
Speak works only in english female voice at the moment.

How to use:

Code: Select all

blocks[123]['playsoundOn'] = 'sounds/airplane.mp3'; //only when turn on
blocks[123]['playsoundOff'] = 'sounds/ping.mp3'; //only when turn off

Code: Select all

blocks[123]['speakOn'] = 'Device is on';
blocks[123]['speakOff'] = 'Device is off';

Code: Select all

blocks[123]['playsound'] = 'sounds/button_click.mp3' //toggle
blocks[123]['speak'] = 'Device has toggled';

Works great, in addition:

Remove 'speak' and 'playsound' when you are also using 'speakOn'/'speakOff' and 'playsoundOn'/'playsoundOff'

Hi,

I’m using dashticz on my android tablet (Samsung tab a).
When I open dashticz on the Samsung browser I can get sounds when I change a button. Device is turned on or off. But when I use fully kiosk browser it doesn’t work. Is this a bug in dashticz or the fully kiosk browser? How can I solve the problem?

edit: speak function doesnt work, mp3 sounds works

On My Windows desktop i use Chrome.

At the moment i use only the mp3 options, as workaround that works for me.

I tried it on my iphone on safari, it works.
Is your sound turned on ?
Volume up to 100%?
Do not disturb off ?

What ios version do you have ?

It is a iOs problem i think, Rob doesnt have a iOs device so he cant test it.

Its a known problem with Kiosk for a long time..
Cant you use chrome for this? (I thought only benefit was fullscreen mode but its possible inside Dashticz now? Or am i missing something?)

Hi,

When ik try to add the script to custom.js, it is not working in my tablet with Fully Remote
On my pc i can hear the message playing.

On the tablet I see the following error

This is the part of custom.js for block 262

    var Data = block.device.Data;
    var idx = block.idx;
    var device = block.device;

    if (parseFloat(Data) < 1.5) {
        trigger_262 = true;
        block.addClass = 'warning';		// set the addClass parameter for block 262
	speak('Alarm is is  triggered');
    }
    else {
        trigger_262 = false;
        block.addClass = ''; // reset the addClass parameter for block 262
    }
    handleRegen();
