HiI have an automation for presence that I am trying to get to TTS a message when someone arrives home.
I am trying to read a line from an external txt file randomly to play.
I seem to have it all working, but an receiving a file not found to the txt file when it tries to read the file
See the example function below
def getWelcomeMessage(self, name):
with open ('welcome.txt') as f:
welcome = f.read().splitlines()
random.shuffle(welcome)
quote = (random.choice(welcome)) %(name)
return quote
I have welcome.txt located in the apps directory where the App is located. I get the following error in the log
2018-03-03 10:28:43.368401 WARNING Unexpected error in worker for App auto_turn_on_off_presence_lia:

I am using Hassio and AppDaemon2 - What Path should i use to the file? Or should I located the text file in another location?
