TTS and how to do it?

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Guys,

I'm thinking on TTS to make announcements around the house etc. TBH,
I've been thinking on it for a while but I need some pointers I think.

I will, eventually, have a separate audio system in each room of some
shape and form which will be capable of receiving whole house audio, so
that's not an issue. The is how do achieve voice announcement around
the
house, *without* powering up all the systems in the home?

My initial thought was to use just a PC (the server) which is running
anyway 24/7 for HA/security cams/MP3 and various other bits 'n' bobs
and
just to use the sound outputted from that. However, I don't know that I
could do that and if, say, I wanted the volume to go down and chop of
certain rooms from receiving announcements at night, how would I do it?

Looking for ideas folks.

K.

...with a fully ON TOPIC post ;)
