The “wait for idle” step doesn’t progress. Is this still working for others?
THis works pretty well for a single speaker but not when broadcasting to a group.

Actually, it may be because of the lawsuit with Sonus and this:

This does though. I now mirror my google speaker groups into HA groups (annoying but they don’t change much) and use those to drive the volume changes. Works most of the time. maybe 90%.

Hi @keithcroshaw,
Where you able to disable chime using a node in node-red? If you did could you share how you did it?
Remind me.
It didn’t really work. Often it would fail to turn the volume back up before TTS. That was a while ago. Used to it now.
FYI the original didn’t work for me as it still made the “wakeup” chime sound after the choose action. I had to add 1 second long delay after the second mute in the sequence and then it works (you could still hear the chime sound very little when waiting just 800ms).

How can i remove the litle google chim ?

I updated the script originally shared to include friendly fields when using the script in your automations.
- Copy the script below.
- Create a new script in HA.
- Go to the … menu and select Edit in YAML.
- Select everything and Paste the script you copied from below.
- Use the “Cast Media…” script as an action in your automations.

It looks like you probably didn’t use the script as an action in an automation. When you do that, you select the target and the media file. I Tested it and it works ok, I still hear a little tone if the speaker was idle. There is a little delay but not too bad. I wish there was a way to just directly play an audio file using the Google Assistant SDK instead of casting.
I know this is an older thread, but I’m wondering if anyone has figured out how to mute the beep from the Nest Mini when the volume gets adjusted. OP’s script for muting the power-on chime worked perfectly, but I’m still left with the volume blip.
Hello! Thanks for the script. I put in a silent mp3 and it plays, but you can still hear a volume adjustment sound, a small beep sound. How else could this be turned off?
As far as I know, this is native to the Nest mini speaker, as it’s the same sound when manually adjusting the volume using the touch buttons on the speaker.
If there were any hope of disabling that, I’d look at native solutions in the speaker to do so, or search for info regarding the Nest mini speaker, completely outside of Home Assistant. At a glance from the speaker settings itself, I’m not able to find anything. But I’d be curious to know if someone else is able to dig up any info on this.
I wasn’t sure of the issue at first but taking another look at this I think I may know what’s going on. It appears as if you are filling out the script from the script edit page. The script is meant to be used within other automations or scripts and the fields are filled out within the automation. Doing so should ensure the fields are filled out correctly.
I did notice a bug which I’ve edited. volume: required should be set to true, not false, as all fields need to be filled out.
