Speak via JSon weird issue

HS4 4.2.14.0

This one is wierd.

This command works (can launch straight from browser for test)

http://192.168.86.xx:81/JSON?request=speak&phrase=this is a test&host=LIVING ROOM HUB DISPLAY:[GOOGLE NEST HUB]


if i remove the spaces thisisatest it will speak "this is a test"

if i put a space any where ie: this isatest then it will speak: "The this or A is a now a test"

this happens with all text with a space regardless of the words used. If space then it starts with "THE"

cant for the life of me figure out where the "THE" comes from.

It's a bug which has been around for ages (including HS3). Try using dashes instead of a space.

Thanks. I call it from a function and I already replaced spaces with "". Works fine but I posted question because it was driving me mad 😂

Another interesting command to use is:

"/JSON?request=voicecommand&phrase="

This runs the phrase through the speech parser in HomeSeer, which is what the original skill for the Echo does.

This allows you to use text phrases directly with HomeSeer locally, so you can take a speech to text system and send the text to HomeSeer.
