Lannouncer works in Big Talker but not WebCore

Bboy486 · 2018-02-04 04:01:45 UTC

1) Give a description of the problem
WebCore isnt working but Big Talker is. Error with lannouncer set-up

2) What is the expected behavior?
Text commands via Lannouncer.

3) What is happening/not happening?
My piston is not working in Lannouncer via WC.
I do have Lannouncer running.
I have setup the devices
I tested in Big Talker and it works.
It is not working in WebCore with the set-up above.

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston![image|45x37]This is just my test piston

This is the non-working piston

**5) Attach any logs (From [ST IDE](https://graph-na02-

Well, first of all, you don’t have any triggers. You have all conditions. “Is open” should be “Changes to” open. Otherwise what is triggering your piston to happen?

Also, I don’t think the speak text and resume works with Lannouncer. What is Lannouncer going to resume? that only works with Sonos speakers because the same program that is doing the notification is also the one playing the music or whatever you’re doing. Lannouncer isn’t the one playing your game so it can’t “resume” anything.

Wouldnt my condition be when if $device contact is open? line 33 in my larger piston and 23 switch 3s switch is on in my smaller test piston?

Ryan780 · 2018-02-04 05:04:59 UTC

Exactly, that’s a condition, not a trigger. A piston has to have a trigger.

See the red lightning bolt in your first example. There is none in your second.

Your statement : “If a variable is false” doesn’t contain a trigger either. Think of it this way…the If statement “If this variable is false” is true until the variable changes, correct? That means the piston would run over and over and over and over and over and over. It has to have some type of even trigger it to occur. That’s just the way it works. On your first piston, your speaker continues to notify you over and over again while the switch is on, almost like it’s stuck in a loop, right?

Ok that does make sense. Let’s stick with my first piston. That still isn’t working (this is a simple Piston). I changed this to when switch physically changes and that got me a different error.

I seem to be missing your point i suppose.

Ryan780 · 2018-02-04 05:15:19 UTC

Can you get a new snapshot of the piston?

Bboy486 · 2018-02-04 05:17:46 UTC

Sure.

Ryan780 · 2018-02-04 05:20:54 UTC

You don’t need to have the physically. All mine are set to change by any method.

Also, you set the variable after you speak it. They’re in the wrong order. Plus, you should have your variable set as a time only. Then you won’t have to worry about formating.
You can speak the following expression:
“You’ve fed the dog at " $time”."

Then you can set the variable = to $time and you won’t have to do any formatting. That is of course if you don’t want to track the date too. If you do, just set the variable to $now Make sure you keep the double quotes.

Bboy486 · 2018-02-04 05:32:55 UTC

Thanks. I get the variable. Even if I take that to LA isn’t passing to my tablet.

I am still getting the error

I am going to start from scratch without any extras and add on slowly. Thanks for all your feedback.

Ryan780 · 2018-02-04 06:50:54 UTC

Well, what piston are you trying to run now? Did you fix the things I pointed out?

Bboy486 · 2018-02-04 16:48:19 UTC

I have a few pistons I am working on.

this is what I have learned.

Lannouncer does not like the speaker devices set in a variable (ex device Speaker = Speaker #1, #2) and called later in the piston - ex. with {Speaker} …
I was able to have my tablets work when I used the actual devices with Speaker #1, Speaker #Design-help
Lannouncer doesn’t like Speak text and Speak Text and Resume. It works with Speak + the text you want to use.

I was able to get the really simple piston working so I am working on my more complex ones (see below)
