Speak Variables/Device States

Anyone know if/how to use the Speak in Actions to speak a Variable and or Device States?

Have you tried https://wiki.indigodomo.com/doku.php?id=indigo_7.3_documentation:plugin_guide?

%%d:12345:someStateId%%

I had tried %%v:472339010%% which works in sending iMessages but not in the Speak function of an Action - how did you get it to work?

I haven’t tried it, I was just pointing you to the “how” of how to do it.

Ok

No problem, I'll keep digging.

I had found that section and read it, thanks for the link.

Got the iMessage to work with it was trying to get Speak to work too.

Not a big deal at all

If you don't mind constructing a short bit of Python code, you can do this easily with a script:

Code: Select all

# Variable value
var = indigo.variables[1308289177]
indigo.server.speak(var.value)

# Device state
dev = indigo.devices[1990702686]
indigo.server.speak(unicode(dev.states['Forecast_High_Temperature']))


Thanks Dave,

Getting into Python is on my todo list, not there yet - but will give it a go.

Thanks

The built-in Speak text area on the Action dialog doesn't support the device/variable substitution, so the script @DaveL17 posted above is the most straight-forward way. I did tweak it in place to make sure that a string was passed to the speak command.

Good call Jay.

The coffee hadn’t kicked in yet.

Not here either really - very surprised I caught it... ☕️
