Hi,
I am trying to write a device handler which will get a “text” attribute to “speak” command, process TTS and then send URI to my Sonos speaker.
Everything was going well until I got this error which states that I should not call a device from another device.
Now I understand (from this thread) that I need to use a SmartApp between those devices.
But I don’t know how to write a basic one which will read the attribute from device. Can anyone guide me plase ?
my device handler is:
/**
* Alexa Simulator
*
* Author: SmartThings
*

if (message){

message = message.replace("#s", ttsMode == "Alexa" ? "Alexa, Simon says":"")

return message

}
I want to send the attribute of speak command to another device in line “sonos.playTrack”
