You make very long days...
I still can't make it work using Hstouch, no sound... And I received a post from another user with the same problem. I still like to know how you got it working.

Ow sorry for the delay...
I use the following scripts
See the attached HSTouch screendump which are associated with scripts.

Thanks. I will definitely use this, after... I got the sound working.
I did describe the problem earlier in this threat, here:
http://www.domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.p ... 033#p59499. The problem is: playing the voicemail works with the speaker client, and it doesn't work from HStouch. Tried both the Windows and Android hstouch client...

Ok, but as far as I know it is implemented the way that it will only work with the HS speaker client. So it will not work with any HStouch client device in this release !!!!

Well, that would explain a lot. I was under the impression that a (recent version of) HStouch would also act like a speaker client. All other homeseer audio operations work fine using HStouch, but not the fritz plugin.
Robert, is this true? Because there is no seperate speaker client for android...

I can see the HStouch client as speaker client in my Homeseer setup. So I don't think you should do anything specific to allow audio output to a HStouch client. Unless you do something non-standard...
Not sure how we can fix this. I know you don't run homeseer, and I assume you don't have access to HStouch right?

It's not possible to play 'main' audio through a hstouch client, like an ipad, see also
domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=26& ... mp;start=0
If you add speakers to your HS server you can hear that audio but isn't related to hstouch.
In my case it works fine with speak commands on my ipad and play wave files which you have to upload first in speak event, like announcement tones.
The problem isnt't related to the plugin but a missing feature in Homeseer.

sddroog,
It seems that you're not the only one that has problem with playing WAV files on Android:
http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=157375
I use the .MEDIAPlay() function of Homeseer to play the wav file, that's the only thing I found that successfully plays the wav file here.
If there's a better way, tell me. If there's another way that will lead to success, tell me.
(not just you of course, but anybody for that matter)
If a plugin user needs to be able to choose between different "wav-play-methods", I'll extend the Plugin so that he/she can.
But for now, the only way to play a wav file (known to me) is the method mentioned above.
I do have HSTouch and Android, but not enough time to invest it in something that looks like a dead end as long as I don't have a clue what to do about it.

Hi,
I am not sure that is the same problem. If I recall correctly, playing a wav file from android HStouch works fine. I will test again this weekend.
And it is not limited to HStouch for Android. HStouch for Windows seems to have the same limitation. But then the simple solution is to add the speaker client... but for testing purposes, you can use the HStouch for Windows as well.
I do understand that there is no easy fix, and time is limited. Let's hope Homeseer will fix this sooner or later, or someone knows a workaround you might be able to implement.
Thanks!

I think this sound issue is a littlebit offtopic, maybe it's better to start a new one?
If you have limited time you can try Airfoil, that is a solution for me.

No, it is not weekend yet but I found some time to test it
Playing a wav file from HStouch (Windows and Android) works fine.

I spend some time today working with Airfoil. Nice concept, and... after a long time I got it working. Because it needs a soundcard, and Homeseer is running virtual on Hyper-V, there is no soundcard...!
I was able to solve it by using e2esoft virtual sound card. So just because there is no homeseer speaker client for Android, and HStouch is not a full speaker client as well, I need two additional programs
After I do some more testing I might even consider buying Airfoil, for 25$. However, the virtual sound card driver costs almost 30$, and I think 55$ is a bit too much. Anyone knows a freeware virtual sound card and/or an alternative to Airfoil that works without a (virtual) sound card? Thanks!

Rien,
Can you explain me how to use your 3 voicemail scripts.
It looks very nice and i would love it to use it in homeseer.
Thanks,
