a simple example would be:
body="tts.speak" & chr(10)
body=body & "{" & chr(10)
body=body & "say=hello" & chr(10)
body=body & "}" & chr(10)
hs.plugin("xAP Conduit").sendxapmessage
"tts.speak",body

How do you use xAP messages in a standard HS script i.e. what would the
syntax be for sending a TTS message?

Hi,
When the plugin deals with a BSC device, such as x10,cbus,netiom, you
will find the state changing as expected from 2,3,4 to represent the
usual on,off and dim states.
When it handles other schemas, like the message.display from zoneminder,
it has to deal with them as text devices. This is why the state never
changes from 17 as it's not on or off or dim. What you'll need to do is
trigger a HS event on a device status change and use a simple script to
read the new value of the status text and trigger whatever is needed.
I am looking at 'fudging' the text parsing so it could change the device
value/state but it's gets quite tricky when dealing with the possibly
limitless variations of data that could be provided.

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I have installed the MI4 Homesser pluging and I am having one
particular problem:
Even though the xAP device shows a status change on the HS status
screen, I can't trigger an event from that device change.
I am using Zoneminder to send xAP messages when a camera detects motion.
Using the HS xAP plugin, I created a device that shows the alarm
status. It shows "off" when no motion is detected and
"on" when motion
is there. I created an HS Event with a trigger based on the xAP Device
changing to "on", but it never triggers. When I query the device
with
hs.devicestatus, it returns 17 (unknown). If I set this device to on
or off manually using a script, my event triggers fine.
I am wondering if the xAP pluging actually changes the device values
and/or status or if it just changes the device string?
Any advice on how I can get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
