Background:
a) the doorphone response is always called by Misc Events
b) Alarm 25 Doorbell is only called when Security is armed and can dial out
c) Reminder messages can be called and played on a specified keypad/door station
d) There is only one Comfort greeting message to invite leaving a message for both phone and doorphone
I recorded a very generic phone greeting "Sorry we can't get to you leave a message"
Reminder 1 was "Welcome someone will be with you shortly"
Reminder 2 was "Welcome nobody is in, parcels can be left in the shed"
Reminder 3 was "I am trying to connect you by phone if this fails I will take a message in 30 seconds"
The Misc Events doorphone response is:
If AwayHoliday=0 Then
Reminder 1 on Keypad 0
End If
This does the normal greeting if someone is home but skips the response if security is armed.
Alarm 25 response is:
Reminder 2 on Keypad 49
If Flag Doordial = 0 Then
Limit Dial out
Record Mailbox1 after 10 seconds
Else
Reminder 3 on Keypad 49
Record Mailbox 1 after 40 seconds
End If
This play the "Nobody home greeting" and takes a message unless a flag is set to try and dial the owner.
A couple of tips. Text to speech (TTS) is great for doing these messages.
https://mdn.github.io/web-speech-api/speak-easy-synthesis/
is free and "Google UK English Female (en-GB)" is a close match for "Kate" vocab.
Use OpenSource Audacity to capture TTS wav/MP3 file off directly your computer sound card.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/
Audacity can then be used to play the phrase back into your phone handset to be captured as a reminder message (could do with a direct file download option in Comfigurator please Chiu). This is really easy and sounds much better that my voice.
