Latest version Soro - For Sonos: 1.4.2
Minor additions to improve the first run experience and to fix issues with the Speak Text action when running it on multiple speakers.
Update notes from version 1.4.1:
This quick release adds the following updates to the Speak Text action:
- New parameters Override Volume and Volume; volume of the announcement, message or audio file playback independent of the current speaker volume. Please note that Sonos may have set internal upper and lower limits for the volume level in order to prevent the audio clip from being too loud or inaudible.
- New Parameter Priority; A High priority audio message can interrupt another high priority one if the latter has played for more than 10 seconds. A high priority audio message can interrupt a low priority one at any time.
- Notifications if incorrect file formats are being used for the URL and Audio File parameters. The URL parameter only accepts .mp3 files due to technical limitations. Other audio formats are supported by the Audio File parameter.
- Updated the internal logic of the action to make it work more reliably and efficiently.
Also updated the Walkie-Talkie example shortcut as it was returning an error in some cases.
