Thnx, and what was streamed before the announcement? (TuneIn or …)
-
Nothing. The speaker was not in use. I did just the test.
-
Sorry for my late response. I made the update. After the last restart the error did not occure anymore. Maybe pimatic itself was the reason and the restart did the job. I will further observe if it will come back somehow.

Hi, I like to ask if you could supress the initial “blupp” which is played before every main volume change somehow?
-
It is the same “blupp” which you can hear when you change the volume manually on the GH device. Each click results in a “blupp” for me.
-
When using the GoogleDevice of the sounds plugin you can use rules to send text commands like you are using when talking to an assistant device.
This way you can control a device added in google home but not known in Pimatic.
This feature is part of the assistant-relay solution i’m using in the GoogleDevice. -
I was wondering, although the plugin is called pimatic sounds, is there a way to send an image to a Google hub?
Would be a nice addition for my doorbell (that’s creating a static image that is shown in pimatic) to show the image also on the hub. -
Yes I did, as a file, but it didn’t show on the hub.
-
Ah yes of course, forgot about the fixed map for sounds. Working now, thanks!
-
I was wondering if you could make the path to the folder which contains sounds and picture configurable? Further s.th. like
play file picture.jpg" for x seconds on device
currently I useplay file picture.jpg" on device and play stop on device
which works, but the other one is more intuitive. -
The folder for sounds and pictures is used for an internal webserver to stream the content. It can be changed to another directory, but what would be the advantage, all the file still need to be in that one directory.
As an alternative I could copy any path/file to the sounds directory for streaming. That way you can use per play command different file locations.I will look into a rule duration option for playing content. Not sure if the for x seconds can work.
-
and you probably know that you can copy with shell-execute a file from anywhere to the sounds directory with
execute "cp \"/x/y/z/filename.ext\" \"/home/pi/pimatic-app/sounds/filename.ext\" 2>/dev/null"
-
But i made the sounds directory also configurable in the plugin settings.
The default is a directory called sounds in the pimatic home directory.
-> version 0.1.10If you want to change the default sounds directory, you can put in any relative or absolute path/directory name. The relative path defaults from /home/pi/pimatic-app.
