you can also make a timer....so that it only speaks again after a certain number of seconds not at my coding computer but psuedo code is this (translate to C#) datetime lastalert = now if time difference seconds (now - last_alert ) > 10 // only voice every 10 seconds { speak lastalert = now } the Ninja Alert has a built in rearm capability, the voice does not, you have to code it like above

@vantojo, Im not a coder and have now spent at least 16 hours on this apparently simple problem. Even your code above must be short hand that a coder would understand, i.e... make something a variable, put this piece of the code here and not there.

If anyone visits this thread again and figures out how to limit the speak to a single alert I would apprecate if you would mention me so I can try and fix this. For now I fear I have wasted the weekend. Thanks.

These problems were addressed a while ago. See if anything in this thread is helpful.

That thread and this one should be combined into one.
