Excellent addition to a SmartThings security system. I use it for chiming when a door is opened and to alarm (in addition to louder zigbee/z-wave sirens). I also use it to issue voice alerts about intrusions, AC turned off, and even to announce when I've arrived home--my kids like to swarm on me when I open the door. Setup is relatively easy but does require the SmartThings IDE and either some programming knowledge or the ability to follow directions very carefully. You can send commands to LANnouncer in many ways, such as using CORE, but I simply write my own scripts in the SmartThings IDE. I like this so much that I went ahead and donated $10 to the developer. Great work! Understandably, the developer does not make this app professionally, so in the year or more that I've used it I haven't seen added features or anything like that. But I know how much time it takes to update an app like this--I've done it myself--so I don't expect anything more than for it to keep working. And, in fact, it has always continued to work very reliably. One last thing: You need at least Android 5.0 lollipop for this to work. I bought a cheap Android tablet that I have mounted on the wall.

Can't get it to work. Keep getting an error 5, and since I can't find any error documentation it's impossible to know what to do. Sigh.

About this app

LANnouncer runs in the background, listening on LAN (local), SMS or GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) to announce events from your home automation system. LANnouncer supports TTS (text-to-speech), so that events can be fully spoken, plus a few basic alarms, strobes and text notifications. It can also take photos or prepare them from local IP cameras.

Alone, LANnouncer isn't very valuable. But with the help of a Home Automation System, IFTTT recipes or scripts, it can bring events to life.

New features

Google has deprecated Google Cloud Messaging. This version moves to Firebase Messaging and fixes a few issues caused by other recent Google API changes.

Previous versions of LANNouncer will stop working soon, probably around end-of-May 2019, when Google shuts down GCM. Consequently, this is a mandatory update.

If you have Premium, ensure "Enable GCM" (still called that) is on, rather than "No IFTTT Support", or the additional slots will not display.
