Greetings, Just a thought that a better way to do this instead of messing with audio files in var and, have you script assign temperature to a variable then have a macro cart in your log that would read the variable and run rmlsend MN to load the correct cart, this is just one of several ways I can think of to accomplish this without recording over var and audio or even using rdimport, if the files are there, just pick and play the correct one. Just some food for thought gentlemen.
