i think being able to pass audible notifications would be a sweet feature.

Are you speculating or have you actually seen the API or the feature documented? I will admit that I do not check daily, but to my knowledge as of a month or so ago this was not possible as I did not come across the api.
Maybe I missed it....HomeSeer 2, HomeSeer 3, Allonis myServer, Amazon Alexa Dots, ELK M1G, ISY 994i, HomeKit, BlueIris, and 6 "4k" Cameras using NVR, and integration between all of these systems. Home Automation since 1980.

You can push notifications to your Alexa with the Notify Me skill (https://amzn.to/2DOsuor). It won't speak your message aloud without prompting, but it does make a "bing" noise and illuminate the LED ring to let you know you have a message.
You can learn more about it at www.notifymyecho.com. The VB script I've successfully used with HS3 running on a RPi3 is as follows (you pass your message as a parameter to the script):
Code:Sub Main(ByVal notification As String) dim accessCode = "[COLOR="Red"]ACCESS_CODE[/COLOR]" dim host = "https://api.notifymyecho.com" dim path = "/v1/NotifyMe?notification="+notification+"&accessCode="+accessCode dim result = hs.GetURL(host, path, TRUE, 443) hs.WriteLog("msg", result) End Sub

I'm a little surprised because I expecting to have to modify the script to convert spaces into %20 since the parameter text is being passed as a URL.
Very nice... Thanks for sharing.

Thanks but do you place the script in your script folder or put it in the sub or function part of an event
