Haiku Haiku - Console Beeps

[brianjames]

I am trying to setup a "Trash Day" message and I want like to be able to send audible alerts to my Haiku devices every hour when the message is unread. I understand how to program it but it seems Haiku does not beep when sending consoles beeps. Am I missing something? If it does not respond to console beeps can you add a button option to turn on Haiku to respond to console beeps? It does beep when the message is originally sent.

1. TIMED 6:00 PM Trash Day
THEN SHOW Trash Night WITH BEEP
2. TIMED 7:00 PM Trash Day
AND IF Trash Night IS Displayed
THEN All Consoles BEEP 1
3. TIMED 8:00 PM Trash Day
AND IF Trash Night IS Displayed
THEN All Consoles BEEP 1

Console beeps are not delivered over the network, for this reason Haiku cannot respond to them. A work around would be to dismiss and redisplay the message using a bit of automation logic.

I see. I thought about doing the automation below but the message does not clear in time before it shows the message again. Wish there was a way to insert a pause in the code.

1. // Trash Day
2. TIMED 6:00 PM Trash Day
THEN SHOW Trash Night WITH BEEP
3. TIMED 7:00 PM Trash Day
AND IF Trash Night IS DISPLAYED
THEN CLEAR Trash Night
THEN SHOW Trash Night WITH BEEP

I changed it to this and got the response i am looking for:

"Trash Night" is a Message
"Trash Day" is a User Setting
"Trash Day Flag" is a Flag

1. // Trash Day
2. TIMED 6:00 PM Trash Day
THEN SHOW Trash Night WITH BEEP
3. TIMED 6:59 PM M------
AND IF Trash Night IS DISPLAYED
THEN Trash Day Flag ON
THEN CLEAR Trash Night
4. TIMED 7:00 PM Trash Day
AND IF Trash Day Flag ON
THEN SHOW Trash Night WITH BEEP
THEN Trash Day Flag OFF
5. TIMED 7:59 PM Trash Day
AND IF Trash Night IS DISPLAYED
THEN Trash Day Flag ON
THEN CLEAR Trash Night
6. TIMED 8:00 PM Trash Day
AND IF Trash Day Flag ON
THEN SHOW Trash Night WITH BEEP
THEN Trash Day Flag OFF
7. TIMED 8:59 PM Trash Day
AND IF Trash Night IS DISPLAYED
THEN Trash Day Flag ON
THEN CLEAR Trash Night
8. TIMED 9:00 PM Trash Day
AND IF Trash Day Flag ON
THEN SHOW Trash Night WITH BEEP
THEN Trash Day Flag OFF
