Any way to play a sound alert on a Tablet?

I’ve got a rooted Amazon Fire tablet on the wall and I can send TTS to it no problem (works reliably) but I’ve not found a way to play sound files on it (like a security alarm siren). Anyone got this working? Fully Kiosk is on the app. I use HTTPS because of DuckDNS so not sure this would work as I don’t think Fully would be able to access the file…? I have tried it, by the way.

You could try this:

Browser_mod - turn your browser into a controllable device, and a media_player

From the readme: Make the camera feed from your front door pop up on the tablett in your kitchen when someone rings the doorbell. Have a message pop up on every screen in the house when it’s bedtime.

Ah. Sorry now I get you.
I think I tried that and it didn’t work. I’m using DuckDNS, that complicated it I think. I tried LOADS of iterations of URL filepaths until I found the magic one. So given that it’s working reliably I’m not going to try changing it now!

doing the same using browser_mod didn’t work for me. I use similar setup as daneboom. DuckDNS. https URL. But when i try to call the URL, i see nothing. Any ideas?
