RE: Meteor caller id help

["Ian Davidson" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I have tried to find out why I have the TTS error. I downloaded the
xapsend app and the xap speech app and installed onto my main pc.

I tried sending other xap tts messages, they worked fine and were only
spoken by the xap tts app and not homeseer. I then started changing the
xap message to see what caused homeseer to speak it. Below are two
messages the first one works normally and the second gets spoken by
homeseer continuously until it is terminated.

1st message
xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF812800
class=tts.speak
source=KCSoft.Send.Anya
}
tts.speak
{
Say=this is a zap speech test.
Volume=100
}

2nd message
xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF812800
class=tts.speak
source=mi4.switchboard.GALEFORCE9-MAIN
}
tts.speak
{
Say=this is a zap speech test.
Volume=100
}

The only thing that has changed is the source but I don't understand how
this could be causing the fault. Can anyone tell me what's happening or
suggest any other tests to try to eliminate this.

Thank you

Ian D

Hello Kevin

Ok I managed to grab 1/2 hour to see if I could see what was happening.
I installed the viewer onto the server and everything was correct.
However I did find the exact text which was being spoken and logged. Xap
switchboard was sending out a tts message. I did not realise the
homeseer plugin would automatically speak a Xap tts message, and I do
not know why it is repeated until homeseer is destroyed.

Anyway I looked at the Xap switchboard confg but could not see how to
disable the sending of tts messages. After looking in the install
directory I found

Tosend.txt

And removed the following lines

'<start>
'Type=tts
'Target=>
'L1=*Direction**LineDescription* Call from *NameCompanyNumberSpace*
'<end>

Problem is now cured although I think I would sooner get to the bottom
of this, it is likely to come back and attack again!

Hmm curious - I must admit I use xAP TSS for my incoming call
announcements and not HomeSeer , and that works fine. What would be
useful is to look at the xAP messages in xAP Viewer and see if you are
getting a flood of those, if so which ones and which specific one
triggers the situation. I will also try this myself and see if I can
reproduce it, although I am currently running HS v2 . The interaction
with xAP Switchboard is quite 'stateful' as the call progress messages
go through a sequence and this might make it awkward to identify the
issue, it may also confuse xAP SB if the messages arrive out of order.

The install version of xAPTel is slightly out of date - I will send you
the latest offlist , although the changes are minor and I don't think
will have any bearing on this. I would also recommend disabling "Basic
CID Schema" in the configuration box (save and restart xAPTel). This
occasionally causes duplicated announcement messages as xAPTel is
sending two callerID schemas if this is enabled. However you would have
only got 2 and not continually repeating announcemnets. Which version of

the xAP HS plugin are you running BTW ? I need to also work out just how

that announcement happens - the ' incoming call from ....' bit - is that

generated in a script or is it an inbuilt aspect of HS. xAP SB can
generate very similar TTS messages but as the speech is hapening from
the HS server machine and you dont have xAP TTS it is curious .
