Alerts to occupied rooms via ECHO SPEAKS

[nsmurray]

Trying to decide on the best way to achieve something in ST/Webcore and wondered if the community could help here.

I have just implemented ECHO SPEAKS to provide voice announcements using some Echos dotted around the house and would like to find a way of only making announcements into rooms which are in use.

So, for example, if one of the presence sensors arrived i would like to only announce it into rooms which are currently occupied.

What would be the best route to achieve this? Using Room Manager or by checking motion sensor status and then delivering the announcement to an echo in a room with motion in the last x seconds, etc.?

I’d be grateful for any advice please.

I haven’t tried Echo Speaks yet but I’ve been doing what you describe using an app called Zone Manager Player in ST.

I send announcements via ST to the zone player and it only distributes it to active zones.

Thanks very much! This looks like just what I need.
