        @suvan no. it is timed, from IFTTT (If This Then That), and then uses GoogleTTS ( Text To Speech) to announce the text sent

        I don’t know what catches the IFTTT event notice, maybe

          @suvan no… just ifttt, notification trigger, and google tts…
          You will need to go for port forwarding, I went for Dataplicity(a service similar to port forwarding to open my 8080 port).
          I have followed this particular link and followed the steps, this is the link to follow for the steps of
          You give it a try and let me know if you need more help. The steps here are pretty clear.
          Note: 1. ifttt used to be free but now it’s paid. You can use upto 5 applets for free and if you just want it to tell you the time and I guess the free tier is okay.
          2. Google tts, you will need to enable billing in your project, although you won’t be charge for that, there is an api counter in that particular module.

            I think it’s possible with MMM-GoogleTTS, MMM-NotificationTrigger and cron

            cron

            0 8 * * *  curl --data "notification=YELL_TIME" http://localhost:8080/webhook
            

            This is an example of a daily 8 am execution.

            MMM-NotificationTrigger

            {
              module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
              config: {
                useWebhook:true,
                triggers:[
                  {
                    trigger: "YELL_TIME",
                    fires: [
                      {
                        fire:"TTS_SAY",
                        payload: function(payload) {
                          return {
                            content: "It is " + new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-US", { dateStyle: "long", hour: "numeric", dayPeriod: "long" }).format(new Date())
                          }
                        },
                      },
                    ],
                  },
                ]
              }
            },
            

            MMM-GoogleTTS
            whatever…

            I haven’t tested this on real machine.

            Instead of direct using cron, you can use MMM-ScriptScheduler or MMM-ModuleScheduler. I believe when you are using MMM-ModuleScheduler, MMM-NotificationTrigger might not be needed.

              @sdmydbr9 perhaps off-topic, perhaps an idea. I have homeassistant which does thse kind of announcememnts daily. It’s connected with my alexa (works also with google). I know it’s not related to MM but still, it works without the need for much coding and it’s quite modular for controlling various elements of my home
