Um =96 well not so simple, I also have HomeSeer speaker saying a few
things=
, so need to include this in the trigger too.

=20

I can either:

=20

a)       get all HS TTS speech routed through xAP TTS =96 can this be done?

b)      Set a second trigger event for the HS TTS

=20

My thoughts are it would be best to get ALL TTS going through one TTS app =
=96 so they get queued rather than spoken over each other.

=20

What do you think?

=20

I=92ve now got my Russound CAV6.6=92s working =96 fab bits of kit.
Unfortun=
ately the audio paging input doesn=92t respond very quickly as is senses a
=
signal on the audio line and switches relays over to page all zones. This
m=
eans the first word or two are lost. I could pad the text out with
somethin=
g at the front but this isn=92t very elegant.

The alternative is to use the 12V trigger input which should work ok =96
bu=
t I need to work out how to trigger it.

I think I=92ll use HomeVision to do this but I=92m unsure of the best (and
=
quickest) way to get HV to switch an output. What I need to do is somehow
i=
ntercept EVERY xAP TTS message and trigger the output before TTS speaks
and=
close it after it=92s finished.

Any bright ideas?

Thanks,

Paul.
