1) Give a description of the problem
I don’t know if it’s possible to even do this.
2) What is the expected behavior?
What I would like to do is based on a trigger, play one four sayings that I have stored as variables. Basically whenever the trigger happens, randomly choose one variable and play that back.
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston
I was playing with random() in my Echo Speaks pistons and it doesn’t work well for me. Alexa always says bravo in this expression…
"Its " + @WeatherCondition + " and " + @WeatherTemp + " degrees outside. " + "The garage door is " + [GarageDoor : contact ] + random(" alpha "," bravo ", " charlie ")
I just tried the following and it popped up alpha once, then bravo… so it seemed random:
'My text is ' (text1) + random(" alpha "," bravo ", " charlie ")
That’s weird, in a quick test piston I did it worked great. Should not be different that I was calling defined variables rather than just text.
This is very intriguing to me. At first I couldn’t get it to work, but now I think I got it. Does it look right to you if I wanted to use something like this to randomize speak? Your code just looks so much cleaner and less cluttered then mine. In my instance would the wait command be neccessary?
