Kenneth,

What I am working on is this:


1. Audio Out from PC connected to Veronica FM transmitter via a mixer, mixer to
take audio signals from MisterHouse for TTS and my MP3 server.

2. 'Bare Board' type FM receivers in each room custom built with an amplifier
and an X-10 Appliance Module.

3. MisterHouse then controls which receivers are turned on and off through the
X-10 module. (Time Lag remains acceptable for now)

4. Volume still a problem for me but working on some ideas for controlling
volume from MisterHouse instead of from the receiver.

FWIIW,


Mark

Guys,

I'm thinking on TTS to make announcements around the house etc. TBH,
I've been thinking on it for a while but I need some pointers I think.

I will, eventually, have a separate audio system in each room of some
shape and form which will be capable of receiving whole house audio, so
that's not an issue. The is how do achieve voice announcement around the
house, *without* powering up all the systems in the home?

My initial thought was to use just a PC (the server) which is running
anyway 24/7 for HA/security cams/MP3 and various other bits 'n' bobs and
just to use the sound outputted from that. However, I don't know that I
could do that and if, say, I wanted the volume to go down and chop of
certain rooms from receiving announcements at night, how would I do it?

Looking for ideas folks.

K.

...with a fully ON TOPIC post ;)
