Hi,
I would like to play audio clip through my doorbird speaker instead of speaking through their app. I basically just want to play a clip that instructs someone to pull the gate.
Does anyone know how this might be possible?
This works ok assuming you have appdaemon:
Hi,
Thank you very much for your work! I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a long time. I managed to connect to my Doorbird device, the audio (tts to mp3) is streaming, but it comes out as complete crap. Some chunks do get through in an understandable fashion though. Can the streaming be optimized in some way?
Apparently this audio transmission is an integral part of the doorbird binding in openHAB, seems the wait time could be the issue? Checking the code of their binding I found this: openHAB binding
Did you find a solution here?
I got the same issue - the AppDaemon script is working proper but the Audio Quality at the doorbird is totally disturbed / chopped.
My files for test purpose have been converted to μ-law WAV (8Khz, Mono, μ-law) as described in the API documentation
