I am trying to figure a way to call hello home phrases from the dashboard. I can create a virtual switch, put it in the lights and switches dashboard and then associate the big switch smart app with it. Triggering the virtual switch would trigger the big switch and if the big switch could run a hell…

Yes, and to be more specific, something like: def onHandler(evt) { log.debug evt.value log.debug onSwitches() onSwitches()?.on() sendNotificationEvent("Big Switch On") } def offHandler(evt) { log.debug evt.value log.debug offSwitches() offSwitches()?.off() sendNotificationEvent("Big Switch…

I feel like I am really close (not a coder)… definition( name: "The Big Switch HHE", namespace: "smartthings", author: "Ben Goodman", description: "Executes a Hello Home Phrase based on the state of a specific switch.", category: "Convenience", iconUrl: "https://s3.amazonaws.com/smartapp-icon…

@bgoodman Give this a try :smile: def onHandler(evt) { log.debug evt.value log.debug onSwitches() onSwitches()?.on() location.helloHome.execute(settings.HHPhrase) } sendnotificationevent only sends an output to the hello home log.

Here is what I have now… AM I properly capturing the state of the master switch? preferences { page(name: “selectPhrases”) } def selectPhrases() { def configured = (settings.HHPhrase) dynamicPage(name: “selectPhrases”, title: “Configure Your Hello Home Phrase.”, install: configured, uninstall:…

Are you trying to actually turn anything on? You’re referencing the function: onSwitches(), but you’ve stripped it out of your code. def onHandler(evt) { log.debug evt.value //log.debug onSwitches() //onSwitches()?.on() sendNotificationEvent(HHPhrase) } That should work, I’m testing your cod…

EDIT: Messed up the define variable. You need to define the configured hello home phrases there. I forgot those. woops :frowning: This should get you what you need. Tes it and let me know if it works. I am at work right now and the emluator in the IDE doesn’t work from my office. Darn Firewal…

here you go. A few things changed: the ‘configured’ value needed to be set to ‘true’ the way it was being used in the dynamic page, I think that was the biggest problem since it wasn’t allowing the events to fire. using Tim’s comments around using ‘location.helloHome.execute’ will actually set th…

also. in reply to my last reply. If you want hello home to tell you what it is doing. add this to each event. sendNotificationEvent(“Performing “${HHPhraseOn}” because ${master} turned on.”)

OK, used the code from at @leftride and added @tslagle13 's notification (Thank You guys both so much)… No errors in the simulator. Also no reaction in the console when the master switch flips… Should I see one? I am guessing the simulator may not support Hello Home to see the results there.

Can someone modify the big switch app to call Hello Home Phrases?

When the Master switch turns on, I want to fire the configured Hello Home Phrase… The Hello Home Phrase should do all the turning on
