Tasks Integration Stopped Working

[Greg Taylor]

This is really odd, but I’m going to ask anyway. I’m also asking in the HomeSeer forum.

I have a number of tasks set up on my panel, to speak phrases. I use HomeSeer and the Ultra1MG plugin to call them and it’s worked fine for years. Years. And then, with no changes to HomeSeer or the plugin, they no longer work. I can activate them on the Elk panel using automation and they work, but not when being called remotely. Any ideas? All other remote commands/comms work perfectly.

I’ll just add, I’m running 5.3.14 and have been for a number of years now.

I found a workaround. If I create a Rule that says ‘when task x is activated, announce ‘

That works. But the voice description for the task itself does not get announced if the task is called directly. It always used to.
