Broadcast messages with google home, without interrupting music/video

[ronyn77]

Hello,

I made a flow in node red which casts a message using google home with tts.google_translate_say service.

The problem is that it does not resume the previous state. If it is playing a music on Spotify, it does not resume it. If it is playing a video on youtube, it does not resume it. Furthermore, on google nest, the screen remains black with the cast icon on the center…very annoying.

Any idea how to cast a message without interrupting the previous state of the google device?

Broadcast message on Google Home without interrupting music and without "Incoming broadcast"

I just want to share a “new” easy way of broadcasting notifications from Home Assistant without interrupting music that is playing on the Google home speakers. (tested with Spotify) This is not a step-by-step tutorial but more like a hint of what to do. If I posted it in the wrong part of the Forum, please tell me where to move it. EDIT: Important, you will get rid of the Incoming Broadcast message Here we go… Start by creating a template switch in HA switch: - platform: template …
