I have several VPEs throughout the house. I have an MP3 file that I want to play on all of them at the same time. It is a burglar alarm sound and I’m setting up alarmo. Until I can get an actual siren set up, I want to play this MP3 file on them all.
Here’s what I’ve currently got set up. Every time I click on Run Action, it says “Action ran successfully”. But no sound came out of any of them. The volume is fine as just before running this test, I had it run the same mp3 on the two VPEs that are nearest to me and I heard them just fine.

Definition of All VPEs:
I added this action to the automation. It makes an announcement on the same All VPEs group – it works fine.
