Making TTS anouncements on google home device has stopped working this week. It dings but then doesn't say anything

jogle · September 18, 2024, 9:53pm

I’ve got several different automations that send a phrase to my google home device. A couple of examples below.

They worked up until this week. Now it’s sending something as the home device does it’s Ding sound but then nothing follows that.

Has anyone had this or know how I can get it to say stupid things when the washing machine finishes again?

  entity_id: media_player.living_room_speaker

action: tts.google_say

Hmm, I’ve found something else in the logs that might be related

Have your tried tts.speak also (piper and local)? Does anything work when going to dev tools > actions > choosing tts.cloud_speak or tts.google_speak, then choosing the device and typing in some text to see if that works?

While it shouldn’t matter I always put the action first but it should work either way

action: tts.cloud_say

  cache: false

Hmmm, frustratingly it’s started working again after 4 days and no changes.

The goog’s must have changed something
