Sound Effects

I hope this can be done. I would love to be able to have the remote's speaker play an arbitrary audio file. It would be neat for customized notifications, but what I really want it for is to provide an audible cue when a user touches a screen element since the remote lacks haptic feedback capabilities.

Exactly....the original ask was to play a simple sound or .wav file on the remote when a button is pushed.

Haptic would also be great if available. I want to have an audible cue that the button or macro was activated.

Next SmartRemote Template update will include the ability to update a variable with an audio file path that can then be played on the SmartRemote speaker when a command is issued.  That command could be an automation event that "Someone is at the Front Door" or a "Ding" when any SmartRemote hard button is pushed (button feedback).  The latter will be up to the end user to configure your hard button commands as you need this functionality.  By default it won't be enabled.

Excellent! David, you are THE MAN!

Today's Designer update
1) provides an option to turn off the annoying "Your Offline..." popup you've been seeing. Look in the properties of the project and you'll see the new checkbox option to disable it.
 

2) Adds the ability to play local sound on any client. The syntax is
      Local Client command:     PlaySound|<<sound file>>~<<optional volume>>
      myServer command:         ClientCmd|PlaySound|<<sound file>>~<<optional volume>>

      where:
                   Sound File is the path to a local or remote music file.  Remote files must be a valid http url. Local files can be relative to the current project.
                   Optional volume is a number between 0 and 100;
      example:
                   PlaySound|images/beep.mp3~50
                   PlaySound|http://someplace.com/somesong.mp3~33

 

Just want to confirm that I have this up and running and it works as expected.

I can't even begin to tell you how much FUN I'm having with this already! I've added click sounds to soft buttons and I already have the remote speaking the name of activities as my transition animations switch to them. Thanks guys this is AWESOME!
