Whole home mic system

I capture the TTS response as an .mp3 file and have Sonos reference an SMB share (with a little bit of unpn).

Alternatively I can hook into Google TTS via my automation and have VC -> EventGhost (TCP Broker / Output from Shure via digital capture card for Sonos room selection variable) -> Automation (Sonos) to make the announcements (there is a little delay however)

are you converting the original tts wav that vox commando creates to mp3? I would like to know whats the easiest way to convert to mp3 so sonos could play the file. having trouble with this one

From what I've read, Sonos can play wavs without any problem.

It would be greatly appreciated though if Vangelis would explain the steps required.

... Our users who're sending TTS to Sonos via their Vera controllers are also playing wav files, to my knowledge.

If you still want to convert wav to mp3 anyway...

thanks James, the conversion solves my problem. for some reason sonos isnt able to play that particular wav file that voxcommando creates. Looks like I need to kick off a conversion right after the wav is created which might add a longer delay to a response from voxcommando. interested on how others came up with a work around. 

thanks again for your response
