Google has deprecated Google Cloud Messaging. This version moves to Firebase Messaging and fixes a few issues caused by other recent Google API changes.
Previous versions of LANNouncer will stop working soon, probably around end-of-May 2019, when Google shuts down GCM. Consequently, this is a mandatory update.
If you have Premium, ensure "Enable GCM" (still called that) is on, rather than "No IFTTT Support", or the additional slots will not display.
LANnouncer runs in the background, listening on LAN (local), SMS or GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) to announce events from your home automation system. LANnouncer supports TTS (text-to-speech), so that events can be fully spoken, plus a few basic alarms, strobes and text notifications. It can also take photos or prepare them from local IP cameras.
Alone, LANnouncer isn't very valuable. But with the help of a Home Automation System, IFTTT recipes or scripts, it can bring events to life.
