Sound Effects

I want to add a "Startup" sound effect to my "Power On" button on the remote.  I'm assuming it's a client command...what is the syntax for the command?   Can you add it to a Macro, and control it?  The usecase is simple, when the button is pressed, start the .wav file and when a section (action) of the macro executes, stop playing.

I hope you get a solution for this. I've wanted this capability almost since Day 1.

This can be done today...what media player will be rendering the analog audio? It can be the Raspberry Pi.  Or are you saying you want the speaker in the SmartRemote to play the tune?

The speaker in the Smartremote. It's a sound associated with a button or task.

If you use the automation side of myServer this might be useful for more than AV control related sounds. You could have the remote play an alert when the washing machine is finished for instance.

I agree, leverage myServer's automation rules and macros et al to choose the appropriate time and audio clip to play.  For now, there is the FindMyRemote command that will wake up the SmartRemote and make a notification (it's loud).  You can then use a Toast myServer message to that client to post what the notification is for ("Someone's at the Front Door").  I am sure there are better ways to do this.  We'll chew on this and advise the better way.  I am sure it exists.

Here is a sample Automation Rule I use:
Condition:
// Creates message that SmartRemote (Prod) needs charging.  Replace smartremoteprod with your own SmartRemote's clientname!
WHEN:
{{smartremote_battery_smartremoteprod}} <= 20
AND:
{{smartremote_charging_smartremoteprod}} = false

Action:
Macro|
WebCmd|all~Toast|warning~SmartRemoteProd~Put SmartRemoteProd on charge.  {{smartremote_battery_smartremoteprod}}%~5000!
FindMyRemote|SmartRemoteProd!
SetVariable|message_1~Smartremoteprod {{smartremote_battery_smartremoteprod}}%

You can choose to omit the FindmyRemote command if you want a silent notification (just the toast message on the touchscreen).

Now, what other remote control can do the above?
