Currently Streamsheets does not support playing a sound. The easiest way to achieve what you want to achieve is currently to run a small web application in another browser tab, where you can trigger sounds via webhooks. You could then trigger those from within Streamsheets with the HTTP functions, e.g., HTTP.GET()
or HTTP.POST()
. Probably this "small web application" would need a small server side as well:
To summarize:
I don't know if there are existing solutions for (2) and (3) though.
Playing sounds in the browser is a little bit of a pain, you typically can't play sounds until the user has clicked a button or some other action that directly leads to playing a sound.
That's true. But on the custom web application you could provide a button to init the audio context (AudioContext
) once by the user.
Awesome! Much thanks. I already thought of using a custom web application. The idea of triggering the sound through an HTTP function of Streamsheets is new though, so is the concept of WebSockets! Thank you for the ideas!
I will close this issue now, but will take a note on the idea of playing sounds natively with Streamsheets formulas.
Question
Does Streamsheets have a Sonification function? Meaning: Can I play a sound file
True.mp3
when a certain key of a received JSON object holdsTrue
and a sound fileFalse.mp3
when a certain key of a received JSON object holdsFalse

We want to create a system for a company with a factory, where the temperature of a component of a machine in the factory is within a normal interval most of the time, but can suddenly come out of this interval. We want to alarm the overseers of the machine as extravagantly as possible.
