Hi all,
Thanks to latest input_text component now I was able to store scores and announce them to Google Home when ever ESPN sends updates via IFTTT. Also used a script component to announce these updates on demand.
Final score text from ESPN
Final: Cardinals 7 Pirates 0. WP: STL M Wacha (12-7) LP: PIT I Nova (11-13) (ESPN)
Here I used only strings before WP.
In progress update from ESPN
Cardinals lead the Reds 6-1 at the end of the 3rd. Pitching: CIN R Stephenson, STL L Lynn (ESPN)
Here I used only strings before . (period). In this instance ‘3rd.’
Here are few snippets of the logic.
input_text:
espn_score:
name: ESPN Cardinals Score
initial: SomeText
espn_baseball_in_game_update:
name: ESPN Cardinals ingame update score
initial: SomeTextInGame
sensor:
# store baseball score to announce that later on that day
