[OBSOLETE] BigTalker 2.x

[RELEASE 2.0.2]
I’ve pushed 2.0.2 to GitHub.
The 2.0.1 BigTalker icons should now be reflecting that a new version is available.

  • Corrected major issues with time based events (issues introduced in 2.0.1, sorry about that!)
  • Each event now calls sendTalk() instead of direct calling parent.Talk() for further analysis.
  • Modified child app description seen in the mobile app new Smartapps list to clarify, do not install the child app, needed by BigTalker2 (parent app). Will not be seen unless the user accidentally publishes the child app instead of just saving.
  • Added error detection to processPhraseTokens() to help detect invalid user input (logged in parent logs, error announced verbally)… ie: if someone actually uses “%weathercurrent(00000)%” instead of using a proper zipcode in place of 00000.
  • Corrected an issue when calling %description% from Talk Now.
  • Corrected an issue with non-zip code locations in weather phrase tokens/variables.
    ** ie: %weathercurrent(France/Paris)% was saying this phrase instead of translating it. The issue was phrase casing.

Tagging those that mentioned some of these specific issues: @dlloyd242 @joelw135 @greg @llcanada

You can now also easily install and update by installing @tonesto7’s.
Community SmartApp Installer. Install the code once using the IDE/GitHub integration and then after that, you can do it easily from the SmartThings mobile app (or mobile browser) from that point forward. It’s pretty cool!!! Thank’s for making this Anthony! (Note: it’s in beta, but it works!)
