Hey Tom,
Great job in fixing the many minor issues in the binding. I’ve been running it for a 5 hours and everything is working great! From what I can tell you have reduced/eliminated the need for the thread::sleep after the TTS commands when there is a bunch of different TTS commands being executed back to back?
This below is something I always had to create thread:sleep between the paragraphs because of the length and timing of it and now I don’t. BUT there is a strange long pause between the 2 TTS’s commands which I’m assuming your binding is doing? I’m NOT asking you to fix it because this is a one off with such a long TTS command. Just wanted to give you a heads up on it.
BTW, I’m running OH 2.4 with this binding w/o any issues.
Once again, great job!
