  1. For Google TTS this should be possible. I'm prepping a release later this week so i'll try to get it added into it
  2. I think the issue would still remain right? When should the volume get reverted - I don't think there's a way to know when the announcement has actually finished playing. What if there was an ability to specify a volume setting to the TTS engines we use. So if you wanted the announcement volumes higher/lower, it can be set in properties and the resulting wav/mp3 is simply a higher/lower volume?
  3. Interesting. It's probably possible, the only thing is figuring out when an announcement ends. I'm not sure from memory if that's possible and if it's not, then reverting to the previous volume becomes a bit of a guessing game? Side note, those who are looking for the announcements driver not to rely on internet. What if it cached the files we get from the TTS system? I'd need to think about it some more as we don't really want to cache dozens of announcements a day (caching a different weather temperature every day would be pointless). But maybe caching "static" announcements could work, and therefore also speed them up.
  4. Hey everyone, just released version 15 which adds the ability to add custom pauses in the text. This only works with Google Could Text to Speech. For example, you can use: Hello %pause 5% world which will return an audio file which says "Hello" and then pauses for 5 seconds, before saying "world". This can come in handy for small announcements which C4 doesn't really like, or maybe for dramatic effect Lastly, there's also a discount active on DriverCentral till the end of the month for this driver: https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/text-to-speech-driver/
  5. Released version 14 today which adds support for Google Studio Voices (they're very human like!). Currently only available in English US. Also fixed a bug where the gender wasn't always working correctly for Google TTS.
  6. I am not too sure what's going on here. I'd suggest redownloading the driver from DriverCentral - check you're getting Version 12 and then adding it to C4. Does any error come up? Also try searching for just "Google Calendar" without any manufacturer etc.
  7. I've moved this driver over to DriverCentral now and also made it so that if you do manually setup port forwarding for the web service, you would be able to submit voice messages from the port forwarded version without having to be on the actual directors network! https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/text-to-speech-driver/
  8. This driver is now available on DriverCentral: https://drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/security-systems/control4-ip-camera-anpr/ There has been some license changes with OpenALPR, I'd recommend trying out PlateRecognizer if you use this driver!
  9. Just to add - the Text to Speech driver linked above does also provide the ability to record your voice and send that through speakers
  10. The drivers dont currently support ssml, mainly because it would be weird to program with I think and lead to many “you missed the closing >” issues
  11. I could have a look at this but I think it could be tricky. One way you could achieve this right now is by adding a delay before executing the announcement in the announcement file created event?
  12. I think this will be because you’ve not entered any billing details in the google account. It should continue to work for free for the majority of users, forever, as the free tier is extremely generous but you’ll need to enter billing details.
  13. On that slightly hijacking note, we did add Plate Recogniser support to our driver some time ago if anyone wants to try it out! https://www.blackwiredesigns.com/store/control4-apnr-alpr/
  14. However. For you Apple users. If you’ve ever wanted to say “Hey siri announce a message” and then speak your message and have it announced. Now you can! You’ll need to setup some port forwarding and a dynamic IP checker. No-IP is what I use. It’s free and you just have to confirm you’re using it every 30 days. Then in Siri Shortcuts: The bit covered in red would be the No-IP domain & forwarded port of the TTS web service. If you don’t use the custom buttons you don’t need the bit in red brackets.
  15. I’ll have a look at 1. I think I messed around with it at some point but didn’t get very far. For 2, it’s been suggested before but I’m not sure how it would work to be honest. There would need to be a way of somehow adding audio binary to Audio binary with screwing up the Audio binary :(
  16. Erm..I sincerely hope it continues! If you’ve had yours for 11 months then I’ve had mine for at least 12 and it’s still running which is the good news. I haven’t been charged, but it may be that you do need to enter some payment details and it’s worth keeping an eye on it. The free tier should last forever and is very generous as far as I’m aware.
  17. If anyone knows of an alternative they can be integrated let me know!
  18. Just released V9 which finally has creating events. The delay was due to Google taking over a month with authorising the change in "scopes". Release Notes: * Added ability to create events from C4 navigators. Note: this requires you to reauthorize your Google account * Added ability to view logged in account details and log out of that account * Added ability to begin account log in/authorization from C4 navigators * Added ability to select calendar from C4 navigators. * Fixed bug where event starting at midnight tomorrow would show in today's events * Updated documentation https://www.blackwiredesigns.com/store/control4-google-calendar/
  19. It sounds like you need to look at the programming for when announcement is executed and also the announcement agent to see if it's selecting all the rooms
  20. Hi im more than happy to take a look remotely. Can you PM me with your account name and change your dealer to Jooced?
  21. I just tested this on 3.1.1 and it worked for me. The default username and password however is what you use on the web interface - default username is admin and password is the normal on
  22. I’m not sure what you mean by providing success and failure rates. The driver does have a confidence level variable which can be used for your 1st example. as for your questions. 1) yes that’s right. 2) I don’t think it’s possible in C4 to attach an image to an email (without other drivers). Most IP camera drivers do let you send a snapshot via email though so you can try that. Failing that, a push notification image would work.
  23. I thought they won’t work any more. We released a DarkSky weather driver which gives a bunch of information for weather as well as the expected forecast in 1, 2 and 3 hours. If you want to check it out: https://www.blackwiredesigns.com/store/control4-weather-information-darksky/
  24. You could technically use the programming commands to change each of the properties but it does seem a bit pointless. Probably better off having separate drivers.
  25. Yep, but it does give information on what you can do to make it more accurate
