date time in say commands

jjtbsomhorst

Hi, 

I couldn't find it in the docs but what do I need to do to let homey say the date correctly in a translated sentence? For instance if my sentence would be something like: 

"I will reserve a table for you on __date_ at __time__ at the __restaurant__" or should Homey auto detect that the string i'm passing is a date?

Have you checked this discussion https://forum.athom.com/discussion/1276/how-to-get-access-to-time-in-the-then-part-of-a-flow#latest

I checked that discussion indeed. I played around with the time a bit and noticed that when I do the follwing

Homey.manager('speech:output').say('__time__') or Homey.manager('speech:output').say('__date__') all works fine but if I do this: 

Homey.manager('speech:output').say('The date is __date__ and the time should be __time__') the time will be interpreted as number colon number colon number. Strange..
