Hey folks,

I am currently looking into configuring a text-to-speech alarm notification system. Ideally, when an alarm triggers an associated message is played through a speaker system (for example: "Tank 4, Critical alarm, Liquid level is currently at 20%").

I found Ignition's built-in Voice Notification Module, which utilizes VOIP over a SIP gateway. This seems like the optimal solution for phone call notifications, however, in my situation I just need the audio to be outputted to a field speaker device. I am also aware of the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech AI, which seems to require more work, though is another solid route.

Curious if anyone has any insight or lessons learned from using the Voice Notification Module / Google TTS, or if there are better ideas on how this can be implemented. Thank you!

Actually, scratch that, as that one was for vision. You may be able to still use it as a proof of concept.
