[SOLVED] Get Alexa to speak a variable text

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

Hi H102

Thanks for the reply.

I got confused about the “echo” text, thought it was used for executing to command line :thinking: as my item is called “Office_Speak” without the echo bit.

I have been playing around and got it working now.
I was going about it all wrong, assuming I had to convert a variable string into text from within a rule in OH when all I needed to do was send a string msg.payload to Office_Speak (speak item linked to the echo) in node red and it reads it out no problem.

Thanks again for your help. :-):grinning:
