How to use Microsoft voices combined with Sonos speakers Options: voice, speaking speed, pitch, langauge. I made a combination of advanced flow and Homey script. Azure account with a Speech services key needed. There are multiple alternatives, but this is mine: - step 1: Homey script (see below) creates a mp3 variabele - step 2: app “FTP client” creates with Micro web server app a mp3 file for the Homey device - step 3: Micro web server creates an url for this mp3 file (see app setup [here](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-ftp-client-control-ftp-servers-through-a-directory-based-ui-in-the-homey-app-or-web-app/70876)) - step 4: play this Cloud url with Sonos (local api) app. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/b/fb689bdbbe586a63b8d2df38b6dcd56b1a158454.png) Create in Microsoft Azure a key for speech services. Use this TTS key in Homey script below. Try different Microsoft voices and languages [here](https://speech.microsoft.com/portal/voicegallery). This is the Homey script based on my use case (I’m not a developer and it works for me): ```auto //read a flow variable (text type), here the variabele is //called TTSAfTeSpelen. //This variabele contains the text to play on Sonos let Variabelen = await Homey.logic.getVariables(); let sNieuwsVariabele = _.find(Variabelen, (object) => object.name === "TTSAfTeSpelen"); // Fallback for empty or not existing variable let mijnTekst = sNieuwsVariabele ? sNieuwsVariabele.value : "Geen nieuws gevonden"; //SSML commands can't escape texts: //replace ampersand (&) with "and" (in my case "en") mijnTekst = mijnTekst.replaceAll("&", " en "); //Call TTS (Text To Speech) in Azure Cognitive Services //mp3 format audio-48khz-96kbitrate-mono-mp3: nice sound on Sonos speakers //and small size //NL language: lang='nl-NL' //voice: en-US-JennyMultilingualNeural (see Microsoft TTS setting). //this is a US base voice, //but can be used in multiple languages without accents. //narration-professional: speaking style (for news messages) //prosody rate='-10%': speed, in my case 10% less than standard speed //pitch='0%': default voice pitch const antwoord = await fetch( 'https://northeurope.tts.speech.microsoft.com/cognitiveservices/v1', { method: "POST", headers: { "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": 'fill here your Azure tts key', "Content-Type": "application/ssml+xml",

Error("TTS-aanroep mislukt met status: " + antwoord.status + " " + antwoord.statusText); } // Get TTS buffer (this is raw data, not yet base64 format needed for Sonos) const ttsBuffer = await
