Newbie CID question

[zs_ima]

I have my CID info in a device (s10) and I would like to have it announced at just some of my speaker clients. How would I do that?

I can create an event to speak but when I say speak s10 it just says s10 instead of the CID.

Is there a replacement variable for CID info?

Thanks

To speak to a particular Speaker client:
hs.speak hs.devicestring("s10"),0,host:instance < see online help on this >
or to speak to all:
hs.speak hs.devicestring("s10")

Thanks for your reply,

I tried the statement but it seems to play on all of the speakers not just the one instance.

also the log seems to have this error

There'a an example in the HS help files:

Thanks for your reply, I have followed the example you cited but despite the fact that I try to speak out of only 1 instance all my speaker clients speak.

I used the following statement

hs.speak hs.devicestring("s10"),0,IBM_LENOVO,laptop

but my other instances ( some on IBM_LENOVO as well as on default) all seem to speak.
