Vocal announcement - Good Morning Script

[ldjldj]

Strangely enough (language-settings on Dutch) the char " ' " in part of the sentence stating "Leo's gsm is aanwezig" (Leo's cell is at home) did block the output coming through the speakers. Removing the " ' " solved the problem.

Hi, it seems that the script doesn't like your sentence !

To be sure, just replace this line os.execute ("/usr/bin/tts "..sentence.." &")

by this :

Code: Select all

sentence ="test" 
os.execute ("/usr/bin/tts "..sentence.." &")

If this works, you must have a weird car in the sentence.

show us your sentence ...

Haven't tried this, but you could try

Code: Select all

sentence ="test" 
os.execute ("/usr/bin/tts '"..sentence.."' &")

The subtle difference is that the contents of sentence end up with single quote marks around it, making the whole sentence a single argument to /usr/bin/tts and also any odd character should get protected. Bear in mind that if you then include a single quote in the sentence variable, it will confuse things

I've got a MAX2PLAY Squeezebox / LMS multi-room setup at home using RPi's as both the server and room players (using PiCorePlayer)

Did you get anywhere with this. I was hoping for something similar though my LMS is based on a Joggler or two.

I'm modifying this script for use with dzVents. Though I don't think thats a root cause, I get this error:

2016-05-13 13:29:35.691 LUA: An error occured when calling event handler GoodMorning
2016-05-13 13:29:35.691 LUA: /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/scripts/GoodMorning.lua:41: attempt to call a nil value

... when executing the first of the following lines of code from the original script:

Code: Select all

 json = (loadfile "/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/json.lua")() 
   local file=assert(io.popen('curl http://api.wunderground.com/api/'..wuAPIkey..'/forecast/q/'..city..'.json'))   
 

Any ideas?

Peter

BTW does anyone know of a TTS that has a voice like HAL in 2001 or Marvin, the paranoid android??

--- silly me. Where do I get a copy of json.lua from? Sorted. Got from here: http://regex.info/blog/lua/json

Hi y'all. My Good Morning script is heavily based on the original with the exception that it relies on dzVent plug-in for domoticz. Little benefit in doing so other than it obviates the need for a domoticz variable.

My version has a chatty date intro that probably need improvement but it'll do for now.

Calendar reminders are on my to-do list.

Greaaaaat!!!!
Looks the best Talking option..
I was almost @ the point to buy a Homey voor dutch language voice switching....

Only voicerss sounds not bad for a NL voice. [ someone use a better ? ]

Is it possible to use more mics on 1 pi?
1 in the hall, living, kitchen...?
Multiple seakers?
Is there a simple wiki to add BT speakers..
What is the best option, add this to my CB2 with a lot of hardware, or use a other RPi?

@Derik

For Text To Speech (TTS), I suggest you to use the awsome script "izsynth". search the forum. You can chose between more than 5 TTS system. For example the excellent "naturalreaders".

You need to install dzVents. Follow the install instructions here github.com/dannybloe/dzVents/tree/dev then copy/paste the script into your lua/scripts subdirectory.

You'll need to edit the script so it reflects the name of a motion detector thats in the same room as your domoticz and a speaker plugged into it but you knew that didn't you!. I also have a push button device I use to trigger scripts manually; handy when debugging.

Thank you so much sir! I'll try it!

Hi,

This is a part to enhance the synthesis of the prevision. This replace acronym :
(To be completed and to be adapted to your language)

Code: Select all

	
		prevision=jsonForecast.forecast.txt_forecast.forecastday[1].fcttext_metric  -- complete prevision	

		local t = {
		["ºC"] = "degré", 

		[" ENE "] = " Est Nord Est ", 
		[" NNE "] = " Nord Nord Est ", 
		[" NE "] = " Nord Est ", 
		[" N "] = " Nord ", 	
		[" NNO "] = " Nord Nord Ouest ", 
		[" NO "] = " Nord Ouest ", 

		[" SSE "] = " Sud Sud Est ", 
		[" SE "] = " Sud Est ", 
		[" S "] = " Sud ", 	
		[" SSO "] = " Sud Sud Ouest ", 
		[" SO "] = " Sud Ouest ", 
		
		[" O "] = " Ouest ",
		[" E "] = " Est ",
		
		["km/h"] = " kilometre heure"	}
		 
		for k, v in pairs (t) do
			 prevision = string.gsub(prevision, k, v)
		end

and this is a part to wish Birth Day or remember event :

Code: Select all

local tableBirthDay = {
jeanmarc="09/04/19xx", 
isabelle="01/06/19xx", 
justine="25/09/20xx"
}

print(os.date("%d/%m"))
for key, valeur in pairs(tableBirthDay) do
	print(key, valeur)
	print(string.sub(valeur, 1, 5))
	if os.date("%m/%d") == string.sub(valeur, 1, 5)
	then
		print("BirthDay !")
	end
end

PS : sorry , french date ... DD/MM/YYYY

Hi korniza. Pleased to hear you got it working and that you spotted my deliberate error in forgetting to tell you that you needed a device called THB from which you can derive the outside temperature.

Liked this script so much, I created another.

It seemed a shame that I only ever got one weather report so this dzVents script checks the weather every hour and, if its changed and someone walks into the room, they'll get a weather update.

I'll probably drive us nuts in a few days but its fun for now.

Remember you'll have to install the dev version of dzVents to use it or just nick the good bits.
