Hello Nathan,

Thanks for the clear explanation.
I thought a simple update with an on/off button in the Plugin to switch off the speech mode would fix this.
But I understand this is not possible.

Thanks for the script I appreciate that! It works!
I'm not a "scripter", the Plugin was great for me, but I can live with this solution :D

Now our Hue bulbs does a color loop every hour with the sound of an old clock :-)

Thanks again for the help.

John

Great! Glad that script worked for you.

Yea, adding a "simple" button requires significantly less "simple" coding behind the scenes, so I'm afraid I won't be able to add something like that, at least not any time soon. At least the script worked though.

Happy automating!

Hi!

I can use a Swedish voice but can't use Swedish text (åäö), the "announcement action settings" wont let me save. Is this fixable?

Hi L.

What version of Indigo are you using? I'm also assuming you also have the latest version of Announcer installed (available from the link in the main Announcer announcement thread).

Okay. Thanks. I'm not sure if it's something I can fix (it probably has something to do with Unicode characters which have always been a source of frustration in Python), but I'll look at it to see what I can find. It may take some time though.
