good morning, i use NodeRED3.0.2 on docker i installed node-red-contrib-alexa-cakebaked i have mosquitto and domoticz How do I make an alexa logger, that is, make alexa upon receiving the word 'external', activate the (working) procedure below? ▶ Summary

To do this you need to either create a "virtual" thermostat device, or make use of the Q&A Skill, so that Alexa knows what you are asking it for. I see your flow comes from this post trying-to-get-alexa-to-read-out-a-temperature Did you read it all ? It provides solutions and also links to anoth…

I have this problem ie, when the temperature is below zero , alexa does not read the indication - (ex: -3.3grades) I think there is some problem in the function node: // Get the flow variable(s) to be used in the message var temperature = flow.get("temperature") || 0; // Convert them to a strin…

Does it need the word rather than the symbol?

in the way I wrote above the temperature announced by alexa is always positive, this morning for example we were the thermometer read -5 degrees but alexa announced 5 degrees above zero. I tried to write just so: var message = temperature ; and alexa correctly announces the temperature. Of course ,…

[image] franz: var message = k+"la temperatura esterna è di <break time='0.5s'/>"+ temperature + " gradi celsius <break time='0.25s'/>"+l; Just tried this out and can agree with you it ignores 'saying' the minus. If you insert a 'space' after temperature and before " gradi celsius........" …

thanks dave ; i modified as you said so it seems to work: var temperature = flow.get("temperature") || 0; temperature = temperature.toString(); var a = " la temperatura esterna è di <break time='0.1s'/>"; var b = " gradi celsius <break time='0.25s'/>"; //whisper message var k, l; if (msg.payload…

To read the daily power consumption always with a flow similar to the one above I had to round the today variable like this below. ▶ Function This is because if alexa is given a variable with three decimal places it announces a number without the decimal point (ex: 5.436----> 5436) .It seems to work…

I'm continuing to refine the flow of external temperatures of Dave, I made alarm flow, which based on a certain temperature sends a voice alert with alexa and a telegram message, it all works. But I have an annoying effect, that is timing the 'iniect every 2 seconds, when I do a deploy or reboot the…

ok thanks for the info. i solved it with the directions in this post Trying to get Alexa to read out a temperature - #41 by dynamicdave . Basically , it reads the mqtt info from the sensor, turns it into a voice command for alexa which announces it from echo device you are querying it from. I would also like to make it work from smartphone but I am not able to do that.
