Can Google Home resume playing audio after a local HA MP3 is played?

Configuration

So I have a bunch of Aqara door and window sensors connected via MQTT. When one of those is triggered while the system isn’t “armed” I play a 1 second local MP3 with Media Player on HA on all of the Google Home Speakers. The problem is, if someone is listening to Spotify/Tunein etc. the stream doesn’t resume on the Google Home after the local HA MP3 is played. Is there a way that I can only temporarily interrupt the stream and have it continue playing once the MP3 has played?

I don’t know of a way to get the previous music to resume but a way around it is to use the Broadcast function as this automatically goes back to the previous audio after an announcement.

Assistant Relay is what you want.

That will work perfectly. I’ll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks a lot.

So another question. I’m guessing I’m not able to skip the broadcast sound and “Broadcast from Username” message that happens before the MP3 I’m playing can I?

I don’t think so. I created a Google user called ‘Home’ so that the broadcast says ‘Broadcast from Home…’ which kinda sounds right given that it is coming from my home automation.
