Hey everybody. My progress with Node-red is coming along nicely, I think. I am still having a hard time grasping Javascript, but that is another issue entirely.
My current issue is twofold: first, in my current automation, I am wanting to send a tts message through my google home mini when it is either sunset or sunrise. When I activate the automation with an inject node, the google home mini makes that little noise like it has a notification, but does not actually say anything. The telegram message that is also connected to the change node works just fine. Am I missing something in the change node or somewhere else that is making the google home miss the tts?
My second problem is that the sun events are not triggering the automation itsself. I guess I just don’t know what I need to put in front/behind the switch node in order for it to keep moving down the line.
