[ANSWERED]Event trigger speach to remote room

Anyone figured out a way for an event (say basement door open) to trigger an event to speech (say "Basement Door Open"). The only kicker is that Indigo runs in my basement and I need a way for the speech prompts to be voiced in the upstairs bedroom and also kitchen. Is there a device or way this can be done?

Many users use Airfoil for the Mac and have your Indigo Server's sound go out to any Airport Expresses and/or Apple TVs that you may have. An Airport Express is about $100 then you can add some external speakers. Other users are using the Sonos system with the 3rd party plugin.

You would still need AE/AppleTVs or a computer running iTunes, and have to record a message and import it into iTunes but you could edit the following to your setup:

Code: Select all

tell application "iTunes"
   -- set theDevice to (get name of AirPlay devices) -- {"Computer",  "AE Server"}
   -- set current AirPlay devices to AirPlay device "AE Server"
   
   -- # possible values for kind are computer/‌AirPort Express/‌Apple TV/‌AirPlay device/‌unknown
   -- set apDevices to (get some AirPlay device whose kind is computer)
   -- set current AirPlay devices to apDevices
   
   set apDevices to (get every AirPlay device whose available is true)
   set current AirPlay devices to apDevices
   set sound volume to 100
   try
      play track "Interruption Sound" of playlist "Alerts"
   on error
      beep
   end try
end tell
