So I thought I was clever putting a Chime on my perimeter gate leading to my (far away) front door. Gate has a mag lock. But delivery people and others often don't get the clue and don't make the delivery if gate is locked. Of course, I could make a sign, but that is not cool. What would be cool is if my NVR sees a human approaching and if the gate is locked, I play a voice announcement "Gate is locked. Please press doorbell button to request access" (or whatever).
So question is: is there a way to use Chime as an end-point/room/zone/whatever (or any work around) to play an arbitrary audio file in the speaker of the Chime (or DS2)? In this case the file would be dynamically created audio file with the voice message.
Announcements agent doesn't show as option (unless I am missing it).
Any ideas?
As I type this, it occurred to me that I should look in connections incase maybe I can create a new (fake) room and bind the Chime as an end-point. [Edit: no love on that idea]
