Need help. Looking people

Hello! My name is Svetlana, I'm a UX/UI designer working on a design for a smart home app. I want to know about the experience of using any smart home application (be it MiHome, Tuya, Home Assistant, etc.) and your own thoughts. If you have a similar experience and want to help, please write to me in private. Your participation will help me make the product better and understand the needs of real users. I'm looking forward to communicating with you! Thank you.

Whole house audio wiring. Looking for new use
D

Hi. So when I had my house build I ran a bunch of stuff, one of which being two pairs of speaker wires to each bedroom and to 4 spots around my living room… Over the years I have used them here and there with different success.. But today they sit in my walls just unused.

I converted all the cat6 or 5e (I don’t remember) over to basically eithernet jacks. The cable coaxial well it’s there but now unused. But I was thinking there has got to be some use for two pairs of speaker wires to each room. Can I make them usb plugs? Not sure so looking for ideas.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
Kevin

    Hi all. Well winter is coming and temperatures are below freezing. I currently have this snippet of Lua:

    local GardenTemp = math.floor(0.5+luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1", "CurrentTemperature", 20415))
    luup.call_action("urn:dlna-org:serviceId:DLNAMediaController1", "Say", {Text="The temperature outside is" ..GardenTemp.. "degrees.",Volume=40,GroupZones="Everywhere"}, 22)
    

    When we turn the house on. Anyone help me to get it to say 'negative' or 'minus' when the temperature is actually sub-zero?

    TIA

    I have been getting negative numbers without any problem. It depends on the TTS engine you are using. MacOS reads "minus". What issues are you seeing?

    GardenTemp = tonumber(GardenTemp)
    if (GardenTemp < 0) then
        GardenTemp = "minus " .. (-GardenTemp)
    end

    So

    local GardenTemp = math.floor(0.5+luup.variable_get("urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1", "CurrentTemperature", 20415))
    GardenTemp = tonumber(GardenTemp)
    if (GardenTemp < 0) then
        GardenTemp = "minus " .. (-GardenTemp)
    end
    luup.call_action("urn:dlna-org:serviceId:DLNAMediaController1", "Say", {Text="The temperature outside is" ..GardenTemp.. "degrees.",Volume=40,GroupZones="Everywhere"}, 22)

    hey @CatmanV2 just use announcements (see readme). Plus, they've recently released a new conversational voice that's more natural. Just use this:

    luup.call_action("urn:dlna-org:serviceId:DLNAMediaController1", "Say", {Text='<lang xml:lang="en-UK"><amazon:domain name="conversational">The temperature outside is ' ..GardenTemp.. ' degrees.</amazon:domain></lang>',Volume=40,GroupZones="Everywhere"}, 22)
    

    This conversational voice is able to read numbers, puntuaction and others things waaayyy better. Try it and let me know 😉

    Thanks, annoyingly AlexaTTS is currently non-functional for me. Not quite sure why. I assumed cookie expiration, but it's forced me to change my password and the new cookie does not appear to work.
    But nothing showing in the logs 😞
