Hi, is it somehow possible to send a string (from external http command for example) so Homey speaks this string?

For example is send a string: “Warning, humidity is to high in bathroom”  
All my devices are controlled by Domoticz and my own scripts running on an Intel Nuc.

I bought before a Homey, but it does not what i want it to do (personally), so i want to use the speaker 🙂

Have a look at the HTTP Request cards App

> HTTP request triggers, condities en acties voor flows
> 
> Start a flow with a simple HTTP Get request, use HTTP response codes as a flow condition or execute HTTP requests as a flow action with this app.
