speaker-route — Route Jarvis Audio to Sonos
Discord/phone stays the input. Jarvis's spoken response comes out of whichever Sonos speaker you choose instead of (or in addition to) the phone.
Examples
"Say that on the speaker."
"Switch to bedroom speaker."
"Follow me to the kitchen — speaker mode on."
"Speaker mode off."
"Play that downstairs."
Speaker Targets
| User says | Target | sonos-say arg |
|---|
| "kitchen", "downstairs" | Kitchen Sonos | down |
| "bedroom", "upstairs", "bathroom" | Bedroom Sonos | up |
| "everywhere", "all speakers", "whole house" | Both | all |
| (no location, mode on) | Default (down) | down |
Modes
Per-message routing
User says "say that on the speaker" or "send that to the bedroom" — route only the current response, then return to normal.
After generating your response text:
- Call
sonos-say <target> "<response text>"
- Keep the Discord text reply as normal
- No persistent state change
Speaker mode (persistent)
User says "speaker mode on" or "switch to [speaker]" — all subsequent Jarvis responses also play on that speaker until turned off.
- Write the target to
/tmp/jarvis-speaker-mode (e.g. down, up, or all)
- Confirm: "Speaker mode on — routing audio to [speaker]. Say 'speaker mode off' to stop."
- On every subsequent response: read
/tmp/jarvis-speaker-mode, call sonos-say with the response text
To check if speaker mode is active:
cat /tmp/jarvis-speaker-mode 2>/dev/null
Empty or missing = mode off.
Turn off speaker mode
User says "speaker mode off" or "stop speaker mode":
rm -f /tmp/jarvis-speaker-mode
Confirm: "Speaker mode off — audio back to Discord only."
Response Routing
When routing to speaker, the response text should be:
- Natural spoken language (no markdown, no bullet points, no emoji)
- Concise — trim any lengthy formatted sections to a spoken summary
- The same Jarvis voice: warm, direct
Keep the full text response in Discord as usual. The speaker gets a clean spoken version.
Script
sonos-say <up|down|all> "response text"
Persistent State File
/tmp/jarvis-speaker-mode — contains: up | down | all
Missing or empty = speaker mode off.
Always Check on Startup
At the start of every response, check if speaker mode is active:
SPEAKER_TARGET=$(cat /tmp/jarvis-speaker-mode 2>/dev/null)
If non-empty, append a sonos-say call after generating your response.
