Automation script for activating tts.google say at specific time

Configuration
1

Hello I am new to the home assistant and have very few things linked. I have tried checking the wiki’s and YouTube videos as well but I am having trouble getting an automation script to activate at a certain time.

I see the automation script in my home assistant page and can activate it manually from the front end. But it does not trigger by itself. I am on a Lubuntu 18.04 computer. Any help would be appreciated.

see that blue bar on top? Can you use it to format your code please?
At first glance however you set Google TTS but you don’t provide an entity_it (a media_player) to play the TTS sound over…
It should look like this:

    - service: tts.google_say
      entity_id: media_player.google_home_mini
      data:
        message: 'Good morning'

Thanks for the reply and for the suggestion. Unfortunately I have tried before putting the exact entity ID and it still fails to trigger.

(update)

So I saw my logs this morning and it says that it triggered. So I tried changing the time and it didn’t. I found out in my config log that it said my time zone was UTC. I changed it to America/Chicago and well I guess that was what was wrong!
