Vera Alexa Plugin 7.32

I thought it might interest you guys to know that Twilio would charge me between $0.0008 and $0.0032 per 100 characters to generate synthesized speech (TTS) using Amazon's SSML voice API. However, that interface is intended for phone calls (which I've used in the past for automated responses and such).

Guess we should be grateful that it's possible to get the same results for free via Vera/Alexa.

Thoughts on sound effects folks?

luup.call_action("urn:bochicchio-com:serviceId:VeraAlexa1","RunCommand",{Command="-e sound:amzn_sfx_trumpet_bugle_04",Volume=49, GroupZones="Living Room dot"}, 22)

Works fine but
sound:amzn_sfx_trumpet_bugle_04

Bears no resemblance to the file library names listed here:

Alexa Skills Kit Sound Library | Alexa Skills Kit

Use the sound effects in the Alexa Skills Kit Sound Library in your Alexa skill.

What do I need to do to make something like:

soundbank://soundlibrary/air/fire_extinguisher/fire_extinguisher_08

Work?

TIA

The filename I see listed at the link you shared is amzn_sfx_trumpet_bugle_04 which appears to match.
Not sure what you're calling "different"?

I notice that the other sound effect you hunted for appears to be <audio src="soundbank://soundlibrary/air/fire_extinguisher/fire_extinguisher_08"/> which I take to mean "fire_extinguisher_08" gets substituted in place of the bugle reference in your Lua command.

Sorry. I can't give a direct link to one of the files in the sound library but they are listed like:

<audio src="soundbank://soundlibrary/aircrafts/helicopter/helicopter_13"/>

But replacing amzn_sfx_trumpet_bugle_04 with helicopter_13 doesn't do anything.

Is that making sense?

Just another example of this vast "things aren't working the way we think they should" fiasco, LOL.

CatmanV2 · Mar 25, 2021, 3:30 PM

Oddly there is a bugle_03 and that doesn't work either
Nor 01 or 02 and they are in exactly the same format.

Brilliant minds think alike. I tried that along with several others... all silent.
I put back Trumpet #4, and it works great, lol. From past experience, IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS when I try to use published APIs!!!

Documentation sucks as well!

So, I've just tested it on a brand refactored Vera Edge. It installed correctly, setup all the things, downloaded the cookie and worked.

A couple of notes.

You could just this code:

luup.call_action("urn:bochicchio-com:serviceId:VeraAlexa1", 
  "Say",
  {Text="Hello from Vera Alexa"}, 4)

and it will get the device from DefaultEcho and volume from DefaultVolume/AnnouncementVolume.
GroupZones is coming from the old Sonos service, but it's just Devices. I'll probably just rename it in a future update (while maintaining compatibility).

Groups will work only if you enable announcements. But you need to enable them on your Echo device as well, not only by setting the device variable.
Sounds are not really supported, but you could try to make them via a routine, that's invokable via RunRoutine action.

All that said, I just released a new minor version, where jq is installed automatically without bothering on 7.32. I've not packaged it yet, but you could just download L_VeraAlexa1.lua and replace it.

EDIT: and, rememberd, DebugMode set to 1 is your friend You'll find the exact command sent to the script, and it will help a lot to troublshoot things.

Plus, use the new neural voice, it's more natural. Just create a function like this one:

function say(text, r, volume, zone)
  luup.call_action("urn:bochicchio-com:serviceId:VeraAlexa1", 
   "Say",
  {
   Text = '<amazon:domain name="conversational">' .. text .. '</amazon:domain>',
   Repeat= r or 1,
   Volume=volume or 50, 
   GroupZones= zone
}, 4)
end

say('I really didn’t know how this morning was going to start. And if I had known, I think I might have just stayed in bed.', 1, 50, 'My Echo device or group')

@therealdb Should that be executable as is from Luatest?

Cheers

@catmanv2 yes!

Dunt work for me, but we know how rubbish my 'code' is

Lua Command execution on vera failed.(0||"[string "ALTUI - LuaRunHandler"]:1: <name> or '...' expected near 'repeat'"||)

I get "Failed to test code, please try again" when I try to run that exact patch of code (with the DevNum for my VeraAlexa device inserted, of course, and my target Alexa device in place of 4th argument).

therealdb · Mar 26, 2021, 3:14 PM

@librasun @CatmanV2 my bad. I've fixed it.

Thanks, but -- vexingly, annoyingly, perplexingly -- when I execute that code my Alexa still just says: "Domain".

That was with "UseAnnouncements" set to 0.

So I set "UseAnnouncements" to 1, restarted the Luup engine, did a hard refresh on the browser, and tried again.

This time, I get: "Sorry, I'm having trouble accessing the ??? ??? right now." (same error message as I got before during testing)

With "debug"=1, I captured this in Vera's LuaPnP log, but don't know what most of it means...

@librasun it's something about your device. Is it an Amazon Echo, or something else?

LibraSun · Mar 26, 2021, 1:00 PM

The test unit I tried (and which serves as the Default output device for VeraAlexa) is indeed a Sonos Beam with Alexa built in. However, it has not (yet) mattered which device I try with, Echo, Dot, etc., nor have things improved when I refer to the default unit as "Living Room" or "Libra's Sonos" (both entries appear in Amazon's enumeration of devices on my account).

Nor have things improved if I substitute the SONOS service in place of the BOCHICCHIO one.

FWIW I get total silence. I'm not that bothered but just as a data point

Those codes that @therealdb posted worked fine for me oddly enough, I don't know how they weren't working earlier.

Edit: I have only tested with my Echo not any of my Sonos devices yet
