So I’ve got kind of a weird issue (aren’t they all?) - I have a bunch of Google Home Minis and Echos of different sorts and only one of them was working either with Spotify or for TTS. After messing around I found somehow the Google Home Minis had been disabled in integration - fixed that, all good and they now work fine for both TTS and Spotify. Mysteriously (at least to me) the Echos now work with Spotify, albeit a little patchily. However they still aren’t working with TTS, whether I call it through Nabu Casa cloud, through the developer tools TTS say message with cloud service, or the Alexa notifications service. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, restarting a zillion times, you name it, but I have no idea what’s wrong or even where to look.
There are a couple of curious things that maybe will help someone understand what’s going on. If I go to TTS say message cloud and google_translate all of the Echoes are always blacked out, other than the Show (which is only sometimes blacked out). It doesn’t work, but at least it’s not blacked out permanently.
Anyway, if someone has a tip as to what might be happening or even where I can look to start to understand the problem I’d be pretty grateful.
