More than one speakerhub?

[xlurkr]

Does anyone have more than one speakerhub in a single home?  I'm thinking of using them as annunciators for various rooms and/or floors.  From reading reviews on the Yolink site I'm convinced it's possible to set up more than one in the app, but I'm not sure how well that will work with this plugin.

@GeddyThanks for the link.  I remembered reading a post about someone with multiple hubs, but my search turned up nothing.

Unless I'm misreading the post you linked to, it doesn't say anything about how multiple hubs are handled in the plugin.  I'd want to be able to send a TTS command to 2 or 3 of them with the same message at the same time.  Not clear if I'd be able to do that.  This is related to my doorbell thread in the IoX Support board.

I have not tried it, but I guess it should e possible as long as you can share the TTS  definitions

@xlurkrI am using 4 speaker hubs with one yolink hub and one node server. They are scattered throughout the house on different floors. They announce for things like packages at front door, back shed door open, gate open etc. I believe  that I leave a few seconds delay between sending the same message to each speaker hub but not sure if this is necessary (just a precaution to prevent confusion - like 2 people speaking at the same time). I only wish the node server could allow for more than 9 possible messages. @Panda88any chance for this; does the local hub allow for more than 9?

I think the number of messages is arbitrary - I can likely increase it but it has been a while since I looked at the code  - I'll put it on my list when back from vacation

@GTenchThanks for the first-person account.  I think I'll get another speakerhub based on your experience.  The Yolink stuff works great, and the plugin has worked well for me too, @Panda88 !
