Trying to play music for five minutes as a "clean up" routine, but the music won't start


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
My kids and I have “5 minute cleanup”, where we set a timer for 5 minutes while we pick up the living room/house. My piston is supposed to say “Five minute cleanup starting”, followed by music playing for five minutes, and then turn off. However, it only says the first part and music never starts.

2) What is the expected behaviour?
Press the switch in ActionTiles, Alexa says “Five minute cleanup…”, music starts playing, five minutes later the music stops and Alexa says “Cleanup complete.” Then the switch turns itself off.

3) What is happening/not happening?
When I press the switch, Alexa speaks but nothing else happens.

5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full

I would probably add a 5 second WAIT after the first speak command. We want her to stop talking before a new command is sent to that device.


#3

have you tried to test “searchapplemusic” to see if it works by it self?


#4

Yep it does, we use it to play music when we arrive at home.


#5

That worked, thanks so much!

instead of using “Music Player 1” 4 times, just use once.

With 
  Music Player 1 
  Speak text "blabla"
  Wait 5 seconds
  Searchapplemusic "blabla"
  Wait 5 minutes
  Pause
  Wait 5 seconds
  Speak text "bla bla"

and with the first WITH, change TCP to never cancel tasks.
