Sonnounce Home Assistant voice announcement app, Digi Mart USA News: A new third-party app called Sonnounce is now available for users of Home Assistant and Sonos speakers. The free-to-use app can be downloaded for various iOS and Android devices and is designed to broadcast announcements throughout a home using Sonos speakers.
Users can record a message in their own voice using a hold-to-talk function and choose which speakers the message should play through. If music is playing on a selected speaker, the music volume is lowered while the announcement plays and then increases automatically afterwards.
Announcements can also be saved for reuse.
According to the source report, the recently released Sonnounce version 2.2 adds an integration for Home Assistant, the open-source smart automation software. This allows users to make voice announcements while away from home.
The app supports multiple homes, with speakers from each home displayed in a single list. Sonnounce can also detect a Home Assistant installation and prompt users to connect the two.
The app is available free of charge from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. The original report was published by Notebookcheck and was not independently verified.
