Announce time every 5 minutes

[cjt7777]

I use my phone whilst in the gym but its awkward to access my phone and there's no easily visible clocks. So, I'd like a simple flow that announces the time every 5 mins so I know when I have to leave to get back to work.

Any help is appreciated!

From your trigger, place a "Speech Output" action of which text is like:

Code: Select all

The time is {getDate(),dateformat,HH:mm}

Then simply connect it to a "Sleep" action for the x-amount of minutes.
And loop this one back to the Speech Output action.

You probably want to have a look into this trigger:

You can configure it to run every 5min. The connect this trigger to the speech output action as indicated by digitalstone.

The main problem with the "sleep+loop" approach is that the flow keeps running all the time, thus consuming more energy.
The periodic timer should - as far as I know - be more efficient.
