Hi,
I just release 4.4 version of izSynth:
4.4 - 20161028
- implemented -C option to write/overwrite the izsynth user config file
- some sanity checks to detect the $HOME directory of user
follow the domoticz wiki for update/install instructions:
http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/IzSynth
can someone confirm that this version fix the $HOME directory variable not working when running inside domoticz?
with kind regards

Looking some same kind of solution, best best best thing will be to integrate it to domoticz core and use notification system (easy to say, not to do, i know because need a C implantation and a C embedded tts engine).
Dream can be a upnp/dlna integration and aviability to use tts true this.

Or one first easy improvement can be use http notification system :
Something base of this french user provid a python script who allow to send sms using android app : SMSGATEWAY ULTIMATE.
With this we can use notification system quite easily, and freeing action on/off for something else.

I used this for some months and it is working perfect! I've got Google Home which does not include any bluetooth interface and still do not have any push notifactions. I'm curious if there is any way to use Google Home as speaker and send the output of izsynth using chromecast protocol.
I found a player that is suppose to do it (
https://github.com/xat/castnow ) but izsynth use mplayer as default to play sound.
I also found that there is pulseaudio-dlna plugin but
1. not available for raspberry/debian
2. I do not like pulseaudio for many reasons.

Hi, you can choose the audio player in two way, for example:
Command Line:
Code: Select all
izsynth -k castnow -K "" -d "" -t "Welcome home korniza"
Configuration File:
Code: Select all
vim ~/.config/izsynth/izsynth.conf
PLAYBACK_COMMAND="castnow"
PLAYBACK_COMMAND_OPTS=""
PLAYBACK_DEVICE=""
With kind regards

Is there a hardware advice?
Is it possible to use multiple mics on 1 Pi?
Can i share mic from a master Domoticz to a slave?

Fantastic work! All working great!
Just one thing I noticed:
If I edit the config file it uses its settings when using the command line, but if I call it from within Domotics [script:// izsynth "Hola"] it reverts back to defaults settings in english. However I can change it by adding the [-v voicerequired] within the call of the script.
Has anyone experienced this?

Quick question, is is possible to tell izSynth to pick up a random mp3 file from a folder?
Basically I want Domoticz to randomly say curious/funny things. Trying to add a bit of personality to it, not just pure logical stuff. A bit like having a special folder with jokes, funny comments or phrases that would make the system to fake a bit of AI

Anyone knows how to make izsynth to play an mp3 instead of converting it. I have tried with izsynth -i file.mp3 and work ok on console but not on the scripts.
Then tried to use mplayer but same results, works on console but not in script.
I'm using: os.execute ('mplayer faith.mp3')

Hi,
just updated izsynth to 4.9 release
Update with:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/local/bin && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ugoviti/izsynth/master/izsynth -O izsynth && chmod 755 izsynth
- Implemented generic playback engine support. You can use -k to specify your playback command, and -K for the command options
Let's me know if it works as expected
Kind Regards

I ended up using mpg134 and just play mp3 files. Not as convenient as izsynth but faster to play within events
