I am using Echo Speaks to create some announcements as reminders (and it is working out well.) However, is there a way to have the device play some "chime" instead of speaking? Possibly some predefined string(s) that will cause Echo to create different type of alerts?
A search on the web got me here:
Alexa Skills Kit Sound Library | Alexa Skills Kit (amazon.com)
but not sure if these sounds are available within Echo Speaks...

You can probably do it in webcore, but there was discussion about this in another thread and RM strips out the HTML tags you need to use these type of sounds on the Alexa device.
@terminal3 I'll check it out. I am a software guy, but quite clueless on the magic that makes Hubitat tick. Thank you for the guidance!
No reason to set up a whole webcore thing for this, use the play sound by name function of echo speaks
Agreed. I am just so entrenched into webcore that I find it easier.
Edit : Now that I have read through the ES documentation (again), It certainly does offer many more options and an easier process than webcore.
I was also confused whether webcore was required by Echo Speaks for this functionality. Thank you for clearing that up. I, too, would prefer to use just Echo Speaks.
I did not have webcore set, but I added it and tried @Pantheon 's example and it worked. I am also looking at the doc @brad5 pointed me to and this page: Description - Echo Speaks Documentation (tonesto7.github.io) , but not making much headway so far. Let me spend a bit more time to try to figure this out. I will check back if I cannot get this going...
