LUA script that talk to me when a virtual switch is ON

[blaisabcde]

Let me share one of my LUA script that talk to me when a virtual switch is ON :

Code: Select all

-- Replace "Garbage" by your virtual lightswitch device name
-- Make sure http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Talking_Domoticz is installed

commandArray = {}
if (devicechanged['Garbage'] == 'On') then
	os.execute('espeak "Bring the garbage out"')
end
return commandArray

Feel free to do some improvement to it and post it on the forum =)

The next step would be to create a script that tell me the current weather via espeak.

My text to speech script by google via Internet, really good audio:
(Limit = 100 characters)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
if [ -e "/var/ramdrive/domoticz" ]; then TEMPDIR="/var/ramdrive"; else TEMPDIR="/home/peter/"; fi; echo "`date` $*" >> ${TEMPDIR}/${0##*/}.log;
exec 200>${TEMPDIR}/${0##*/}.lock || exit 1; flock -x 200 || { echo "ERROR: flock() failed." >&2; exit 1; }
say() { local IFS=+;/usr/bin/mplayer -ao alsa -really-quiet -noconsolecontrols "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=nl&q=$*"; }; say $*; flock -u 200

I included locking mechanism, cause muliple messages were at the same time.

Just call the script with the text as parameters from your lua or domoticz_main as below.

Code: Select all

if [ "$status" = "On" ]; then                                                                                                                  nohup ${SCRIPTSDIR}/Speech.sh "${devname} is aangezet" 2>/dev/null &
 nohup ${SCRIPTSDIR}/JSTxWrapper.sh "Domoticz OSD melding: ${devname} is aangezet" 6 2>/dev/null &
 nohup ${SCRIPTSDIR}/Telegram.sh $msgto "Domoticz melding: ${devname} is aangezet" 2>/dev/null &                                               #espeak -v nl "${devname} is aangezet"
exit; fi;                                                                                                                                     if [ "$status" = "Off" ]; then                                                                                                                 nohup ${SCRIPTSDIR}/Speech.sh "${devname} is uitgezet" 2>/dev/null &
 nohup ${SCRIPTSDIR}/JSTxWrapper.sh "Domoticz OSD melding: ${devname} is uitgezet" 6 2>/dev/null &
 nohup ${SCRIPTSDIR}/Telegram.sh $msgto "Domoticz melding: ${devname} is uitgezet" 2>/dev/null &
 #espeak -v nl "${devname} is uitgezet"
exit; fi;

espeak, telegram, jstx lines can be removed, you need only speech.sh,nohup and & is used to start it in separate silent processes so domoticz does not slow down. Jstx is used to send the text to my philips tv screen.

Thank, indeed your solution is much better and the voice as well.

google voice is not usable any more.

Is there a way to send the "text" as part of the script, rather than having to do individual scripts per device?

For example, edit a button when it goes ON it calls a script like this: scriptt://espeak "something in on"

I tried but says it cannot find a script. I thought about linking to espeak inside the script folder but couldn't find the espeak file that executes... any ideas welcome.
