Sonos Beam and text to speech

Add-ons Text-to-Speech
1

I’m running OH3.3.0.M6 on RPI4 with openhabian/bullseye. I’m looking to send text to speech to a sonos beam home speaker. However I’m not seeing an obvious way to do this through the sonos binding. The sonos beam does have integrated amazon alexa but this is not detectable via the amazon echo binding so I can’t use the amazon echo speak channel.

Any guidance is appreciated.

I don’t have a beam, but as far as I know all sonos speakers, once added via the binding are registered as audio sinks with OH. You don’t send audio to it through the binding directly, you use one of the general audio actions and set the speaker as the audio sink for that action.

Nice, thanks. I’ll work through this and report back.

And confirmed this works fine using my sonos beam as a default audio sink and the VoiceRSS service. Thanks so much for the push in the right direction.

Cheers
