@bamarayne I had to add an Execute Piston to get my Echos to run the @ReceivedMsg. Works now very odd how your’s works without it.
Curious if it is possible to have the Echo change its volume if it is playing music. I dont see a webcore capability that says music playing so wondering how I would do this.
Use case - If Echo plays music (any streaming service) change the volume to 80%.
I’m looking for a way to have my Echos act as a Door Bell when a Button is pressed outside our door, play a Ding Dong sound. It is an Aqara button in my ST.
Problem I can’t find a way to have a DING DONG sound play… I have Amazon Music, Spotify Premium.
I can have play a song, using the Search - but even then it takes a while for the music to play - I would rather have it point direct to a Sound Effect… is that possible ?
I liked the dog barking idea, but I don’t have the premium spotify and that’s apparently the only way Alexa will allow it to be linked. Any alternative options?
This is extremely complex, but I absolutely love the idea! Since I am such an amateur at WebCore, if my trash goes out on Tuesdays and Fridays, would I just need to simply change the $dayofweek to 1 and 4? Thanks for any help!
Edit: Also, is there a way to slow down Alexa’s voice when you have her ‘speak’?
You are correct. For the Day before reminder event, change $dayofweek to 1and 4, (Monday and Thursday). The the after midnight/day of event reminder change $dayofweek to 2 and 5, (Tuesday and Friday).
There is no method for speed control of voice.
Also, I made a cleaner version for Trash Reminders for changing day of week in one place.
This is awesome, so if I only have trash picked up once I week I only need dayofA, right? I can delete all the dayofB references? Is there any way to have it too you about recycling every other week for the same day? For example I get trash picked up every Tuesday, but recycling is picked up every other week.
Also, I see that it checks every night at 8:09 and then resets the variable every night at midnight, but what times is the notification sent and spoken? Thanks in advance!
Change the second Event with dayofA announcement at 12:05 AM to 7:00 AM.
The first event is the night before reminder dayBeforeA, which is the 8:09 PM reminder.
If you only want one the AM reminder you could remove the 8:09 PM Event reminder.
Thank you so much, this is going to be very helpful. Can’t tell you how many times I rush to put the trash out when I hear the trash truck. Would you have any idea how to modify to remind for trash and recycling every other week?
Thanks, this is great. I did have a ton of errors after I imported it though. For example, no garage-openxtime variable was established and I get an “invalid double quote termination” on the speak portion?
Does anyone know how to do a simple “beep or ding or notification” sound prior to Alexa speaking? Two family members were startled when, from out of the blue, something started talking behind them.
