Well, many brackets 
Cool that it works. The only thing I’m not sure about is the paused and off state.
Might just be states that their API has and maybe the writer didn’t know what to do? Not the end of the world. Basically when my cat goes into the litter robot, I get a google broadcast of the event now. Only issue left is figuring out how to manually disconnect the broadcast as it looks like home assistant hangs onto the device for 1-2 minutes.
How does that manifest?
You can see that my google nest hub has the media casting icon up for 1-5 minutes after the TTS is completed. I would ideally like to tell the automation to stop as soon as it’s over, but it’s hooked in for some extra time for some reason.
To talk at large: Could it be the service call itself? Have you a corresponding notify service created?
no notify service created. just seems to hang for an extra bit. not sure why it doesnt release it once the TTS is over.
In Developer Tools ——> Services you’ll find a service update entity.
Just type entity into the service selecttion field.
i see that. what do i do though? confused what you are saying.
If your Google device is hanging again, call the above service in Developer Tools and see if it works.
Or you could try the media_player.turn_off command.
this is really handy! thank you
anyone know how to translate this into just a simple template? so i can have the value of the code as per the lookup matrix?
What’s your use case?
