Variable altered

Hey!

I thought this would be simple ; perhaps it's me?

I have a variable that once changed activates some speech - works great!
The problem is if I wish to trigger the same speech again it won't as the variable string hasn't changed.

So in the control page I have an icon that once clicked changes the variable and hence the trigger occurs. I've tried clearing the variable afterwards (i.e. nulling the string) but this seems to cause problems. I'm assuming Sonos is still speaking and of course the trigger keeps activating (i.e. it's changing ).

Is there a neat/more elegant solution? (I've got a suspicion it's gonna be something obvious!)

Cheers

Actually a thought.

In the python script.
If I could read the announcement length; I could disable the trigger. Pause that amount of time. Clear the variable. Re-enable the trigger.

Hmmmmmm; seems a bit erky!

The way I have got round this is to change the variable (after you have invoked the speech) to a known value e.g. 'ACTIONED'.
Then put a condition on the same trigger to only action the trigger if the variable does not contain value 'ACTIONED'.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ! Now that sounds like a plan :/) thanks !

..or simply blank it and have a condition that the trigger not fire if the variable is blank.
