HouseBot

Good evening,

Any way of creating a scene, which can be activated by a key on a remote control.

Would also like integrate Text to Speech in a script, if this is how it is done.

For the first request you can do it in a multiple ways but basically in all of them the remote control will update a device parameter in Housebot and with this change you will set a condition to run the scene task.
1. If you want to use an IR remote you will need something like USB UIRT to detect the command and change a device parameter.
2. If you have insteon, you can use the insteon remote to set the scenes without using housebot.
3. You can use an X-10 remote control with a W800RF to change a null device parameter when a specific code is received.
4. etc.

For the second request if you want to use the text to speech device from a script you will simply use the SetPropertyValue(name of the t2s device.Text to Speak , "what you want to speak") and that should do it.

Hope it helps,

Victor

Thanks Victor,

I will have to remember that, in comes time, to proceed.
