Audio alerts from Node-Red in a completely headless environment? Possible???
Hi, I've not had luck with this. I read a lot of forum posts where sound is played on command line but won't play when triggered by node-red with "exec". I have the same issue. What I want to do is have a totally headless Pi 5 server (signalk server with node-red plugin) on my boat with speakers attached. No clients attached. I want audio alarms from the Pi/Server. Is this possible? I want to fire up a client or dashboard view only AFTER I hear the alarm. Thanks!

Take a look at the fusion plugin
Alarms I plan to create are AIS, radar (from mayara eventually), depth, etc.
ANd I think there is another plugin that does Audio alarms
THe fusion plugin will play audio alarms, even if you don't have a Fusion stereo
The Fusion stereo's are a great wayt to do this if you can.
It will switch the input to the AUXIN, and blast the alarm througout the your speakers on the boat
FYI there is also this plugin... https://www.npmjs.com/package/signalk-notification-player
