I tried setting Fully's start page to the beep file. That works.
I called Load URL with the beep file and that gave me:
The webpage at file:///sdcard/Download/beep08b.mp3 could not be loaded because: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND.
(Yes, the file no longer had the - in each case.)
So, I am only more flummoxed.
google loads fine with the load url command.
The beep command is what I have been trying to get working with the Tone Audio File URL all along. So, no.
I've only stored the file on the device, but it should work with any URL. However, if it's not on the device it must be uploaded to the device from wherever it may be, and that may cause a delay.
I tried using the external url where I got the beep file. It works. So it definitely isn't the file.
It seems it has to be either permissions, which I am tending to doubt, or it is Samsung and their SD Card alias for sdcard. I need to find a non samsung device to try this on....
Weird.
Back when I converted this device to work on SmartThings I loaded these files to my website. Do they work for you if you download to your device, set Tone Audio File URL and save Preferences, then Beep command, or in LoadUrl?
Nope. Same results. But if I put your website url, it is fine.
It has to be the SD Card vs sdcard thing Samsung has got going here. I will see about setting this up on a Fire tablet tomorrow and trying again.
One of my working Fully dashboards is an old Samsung J3 phone with Android 6. I also have two Fire HD8s, and an old LG phone in the garage with Fully mainly for announcements and the Alfred camera app monitoring the space.
No.. Neither sdcard or SD card worked. SD card was encoded as SD%20card. I really thought the second one would work as that is the one I though the tablet was looking for and was encoded wrong at first.
Again, if I tried an external URL, like the previously used chime.mp3 above, it plays fine. So, it is just not accessing the device's file although I can set Fully to use it as the startup url.
Ok, The command does work. And I have figured out the problem.
For whatever reason SD card and sdcard are different in samsung. If I use My Files on the Samsung tablet, it is giving me a different file list than if I put file:///sdcard/Download into chrome. I never really looked at the contents before when I was trying out the commands. Now I have and have realized that Samsung is messing with me.
I couldn't upload pictures of it, but trust me, it is frustrating to see two different content lists of what you thought was the same location.
Thanks for your help.
Using the FKB's Universal Launcher setting "Select Items to Show", selected Rapid Ring, the app's start name on Fire devices with Fire Rapid Ring version is com.ring.answer.fire, that works.
I still have to tap the app's button to actually view the camera, but that's way better than attempting to catch the initial Fire's Rapid Ring notification that quickly disappears from my always on HE dashboard display.
Already have Alexa set a HE virtual switch when Ring Front Door camera detects motion, so this will be a simple RM displaying the Rapid Ring app for 90 seconds, then relaunching the fully StartUrl. I know there is a method to do this 100% in Alexa with Fire Devices, however I also have non-fire display devices and want to keep as much of the logic in HE as possible.
I have 2 tablets running Fully. Using this controller to interface to HE. Everything seems to work fine on both of them. But one of them gives me an error every day at 4:25 pm. Here is the error in the log:
