Actually, the createTimer() examples won’t work as desired, they spin off threads that come from a different thread pool from that used by Thread::sleep() and immediately return, which is to say there is effectively no delay to the calling thread when createTimer() is called. Your rule could actually be coded something like this:
rule "Test"
when
Item itmTestSwitch changed
then
echoKueche_TTS.sendCommand('Test Küche')
createTimer(now.plusSeconds(1), [|
echoWohnen_TTS.sendCommand('Test Wohnzimmer')
createTimer(now.plusSeconds(1), [|
echoFlur_TTS.sendCommand('Test Flur')
createTimer(now.plusSeconds(1), [|
echoArbeit_TTS.sendCommand('Test Arbeitszimmer')
])
])
])
end
Warning, the above may have typos and is untested, but should serve to illustrate the use of createTimer() in your rule.
[Updated to correct missing right paren at each plusSeconds() method call. Thanks for spotting that, @H102! ]
Hello michi,
do you now if there is a way to access the alexa alarm clock events? I would like to fire some actions when my alarm clock(echospot) is ringing…make coffee, start hue sunrise etc…
At the moment I’m looking for Echos Player changes when my Presence Mode is set to sleep,
but this not a very elegant way.
Is there any plans to control items directly, not via routines? I would like to control a thing that has on and off as an option in the app but is a thermostat thing. When setting up a routine it only allows me to change the temp of the thing which doesn’t actually work and no on or off option. I’m talking to the developers to see if they can fix but if I could control the thing direct it would prevent a bunch of one step routines (and fix my problem and not rely on the vendor)
Good afternoon,
I’m using Version 2.5.0, but for some reasons the “Off” command for turning the Alexa Radio “off”
seems not to work. I’m getting the following errors:

one case I want to use is to tts my temperature items. dont think that lastVoiceCommand helps for that, or I dont understand what the feature does / work.
what I tried to is:
rule "Read Temperature Living Room"
when
Item TestSwitch changed from OFF to ON
then
var moep = TemperatureItem1.state
EchoDotLR.sendCommand(moep)
end
but seems that the item object doesnt work with that tts feature a normal string does work.
oh you are right. .toString solved it. thx a lot! [“Temperature”] Tag I will also try
edit: maybe one more question: is there a way to tts room temperature on keyword “alexa, what is my living room temperature” ? and what could be best code design for it?
I edited the post to point to yours.
a normal string does work.
I think it’s [ “Thermostat” ] but honestly I don’t use it but here’s a link to test your tags.
there are several examples.
