New Tone Detection and Finder Software - Python Based

xicarusx · Sep 8, 2022

Hey,

So as you all know I have been writing scripts for both TTD and FD-Tone-Notify. During the process of developing a web ui for my iCAD Pi image for FD-Notify. I kind of realized the amount of work I had put in to doing it, and the numerous changes needed to make it work properly.

So I decided to start on journey in a different direction and create my own tone detection program. One that incorporates my previously made scripts for alert notifications and a web ui for configuration. It is Python based and will run on Windows and Linux including Raspberry Pi. Bundled in to a single executable file

I have Motorola QCII 1+1 two tone decoding and detecting working perfectly currently. Have not written alerting scripts yet, and before I do I want to ask the community here for two things.

I would like to ask for requests, what do you want to see in the program?

Second, I am interested in adding 5 Tone detection and finding as well. Since I know that is becoming more popular through out the US. I have some questions about it for you.

What is the standard for 5 tone in the US and Canada? I have seen a few different standards and have written a decoder for EIA, but am not sure if that is correct standard to include.

Lastly, do any of you have audio samples of 5 tone paging, and the codes it is paging?

I have released an alpha version of iCAD Tone Detection.

Current Working Features:
Two Tone Detection and Finding
Web GUI to manage and configure configurations and tones.

Sending Pre Recording MQTT messages
Sending Post Recording Emails
Audio filters for recorded file.
- clipping filter
- noise filter
- - multiple modes for removing noise, heavy filter even mostly removes included tones

When trying to run the Alpha 2 I get the following error:

Redownload and try again. When I compiled and built for Windows I forgot the MySQL python library. I have rebuilt and reuploaded to the same link.

It seems Pushover is not working on it I put my group key and app key in and it's set up for the tone I want it to alert to. Another thing that could be added to the Pushover side of things is a custom alert sound selection from your pushover custom sounds upl;oaded like "Moto Min VI Standard alert tone". Also when trying to create a MySQL server database it says the following:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

CDTbolt10033 · Sep 18, 2022

Oh, I forgot to add this since I can't edit my post above anymore but would it be possible to add an editable subject in the tone config in emails and pushover alerts for example:
Subject: Example Township Fire Dept
Body: Example Station Page Received at 13:41 on 3/5/20

TTD has the subject able to edit and I use that to label what township/county fire dept that page belongs to.

Fixed the issues keeping Pushover from sending.

You can edit the subject and body of the emails using the web gui or directly in the config.json.

For pushover find message_html_string. That is the body of the pushover message.

Code:

"message_html_string": "<font color=\"red\"><b>%detector_name%</b></font><br><br><a href=\"%mp3_url%\">Click for Dispatch Audio</a>"

For Email there are two seperate pre and post recording:

Code:

        "pre_record_subject": "Dispatch Alert - %detector_name%",
        "pre_record_body": "%detector_name% Alert at %timestamp%<br><br>",
        "post_record_subject": "Dispatch Alert - %detector_name%",
        "post_record_body": "%detector_name% Alert at %timestamp%<br><br> %mp3_url%"

variables

- %detector_name% - gives the detector name
- %timestamp% - gives a human readable timestamp
- %mp3_url% - gives link to uploaded mp3 but only works for post recording emails.

For MySQL, you need to be running a MySQL server somewhere and have a user, database, and password created. Then add those credentials to the config.json as well. Which can be done via web-gui.

For Windows - you can install XAMMP which comes with MySQL and phpadmin. Then create a user and a database for that user. Then add to config.json via webui or manual editing.

For Linux - install MariaDB or MySQL, Nginx or Apache, and PhpMyAdmin and create a user and a database for that user. Then add to config.json via webui or manual editing.

If you would like help, come to my Discord Server. We can figure out if it is an error with config or an error with code.

How are the audio input and output entered into the json? Can you post a syntax?

It is in the format of two integers one for input and one for output. If you change these to 99 and run the program, it should use whatever is default, and you can change via WebGUI under iCad Config->iCad Config->Audio Tab.

Code:

"audio": {
        "input_device_index": 12,
        "output_device_index": 12
},

Can I ask why you had to remove BCFY Calls support?

I removed it due to the fact BCFY Calls isn't meant to be using in the way I was using it for this software. It is frowned upon to just post only detected toneouts via BCFY Calls. They want a full audio stream seperated by transmissions.
