A technical question

Hi
Is there a way to somehow communicate with a variable? I want to send text to a variable from a mobile phone. Like a grocery list or something. Like sent “milk” and it would be added to the list.
It would be cool to present it on a sticky note or something.
A haven’t think this through, so maybe it’s a stupid idea.
Best regards, Bosse

You can use an HTTP Trigger in a rule and then update your variable in the rule flow as you see fit.

Not a direct answer to your question but if you’re actually trying to easily build a grocery list take a look at Our Groceries. It’s a free app IOS and Android. It’s Alexa enabled so easy to add to the list by voice. It syncs with any other user you add to your account.

A cool use is to create a geofence around your favorite store and trigger a message to your spouse you’re at the store and to add anything you need to the Our Groceries app. The app syncs with all users Immediately.

Hi
Ok, maybe that’s the easiest way to go. I only have google nest smart speakers but maybe l need to test Alexa.
Thank you for your reply.
