Spoken Word "Attention" Repeated Twice in Speech

[razorwing]

I am bringing this up again because it is still happening. It happens in Rule Machine and in Basic Rules. I have the following rule. Followed by the Log and the Settings.

This rule speaks the word Attention when it supposed to but at the end of the second speak it repeats the word Attention again. If I change the delay to 2 seconds it works every time.

ALSO: (after a hub reboot) If you run the rule 3 times manually it works fine. But on the 4th try it starts to repeat.

Please let me know what else you need.

Here is the Rule.

Here is the Log.

Here is the Settings.

This is from Application State.

I think this happens twice because your trigger is “changed”. The Rule runs when garage reports “closing” and when it reports “closed”.

Try changing your trigger to closed.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and I get the same result. Need help from staff to look at it.

Okay, but I don’t understand why you are using two notifications. Why not just say “Attention, the garage door is closed”

The comma will make the TTS pause like natural speech.

Also if 2 sec pause works, just do that.

May be a bug here but not worth chasing.

I have tried using commas, first with 5 commas then 10 commas but it never has any pause between the words. It is nice to have a break between Attention and the rest of the speech so it gets your attention (no pun intended) and that way the entire speech doesn't seem to run together.

Why doesn't 1 second work? It is the whole reason behind this post. Also, why does it do it in both Rule Machine and Basic Rules (created based on rule machine) if it is not a bug!
