Your issue us caused by Spotcast. Are you on the latest version there?

To update replace everything below the settings part with the same section from my package file

854

I’m using 3.7.0 via HACS

855

I’d like to use your script as well. Is this also working for a sonos one running google assistant or is this not possible in this case?

I try to execute your script, but unfortunately it is not working.

I am running a spotify song on media_player.wohnzimmer

Then I execute the following in the ui services window:

alias: "Play sound when there is someone at the door"
service: script.google_home_resume
data:
  action:
    - service: media_player.play_media
      target:
        area_id: 'Wohnzimmer'
        entity_id:
          - media_player.wohnzimmer
      data:
        media_content_type: music
        media_content_id: "media-source://media_source/local/audio/JingleBells.mp

And I get the following error.

Fehler beim Aufrufen des Diensts script.google_home_resume. invalid slug resume_script_active_ghresume_01GTWKF5H26E258B5RFJABH3TA (try resume_script_active_ghresume_01gtwkf5h26e258b5rfjabh3ta) for dictionary value @ data['object_id']. Got None

I also tried it with a call I found in this topic:

alias: Play sound when there is someone at the door
service: script.google_home_resume
data:
  action:
  - service: tts.google_say
    data:
      cache: false
      entity_id: media_player.wohnzimmer
      message: Za pĹŻl hodiny bude 7 hodin.
  mode: single

But there is the same output.

Am I anything doing wrong?

856

For Sonos you can use the snapshot service provided by the Sonos integration.

I can also have a look at what’s going wrong with the script if you send me a trace of the script

857

I just tried it with my Google Home mini
This worked for the google Home mini

service: script.google_home_resume
data:
  action:
    - service: tts.google_say
      data:
        message: Das ist ein Test
        language: de
        entity_id: media_player.studio

On Sonos it is not resuming:

service: script.google_home_resume
data:
  action:
    - service: tts.google_say
      data:
        message: Das ist ein Test
        language: de
        entity_id: media_player.wohnzimmer

I added the trace here: dpaste/Tz97r (JSON)
The helper is not called with my sonos. So it seems to be stuck before.

Maybe it is a simple fix but nevertheless in the meantime I will chec k the snapshot service.

858

The script only works for media players under the cast integration.

859

Ok thank you for your response. I checked the sonos implementation and this was not working for spotify but the hacs plugin sonos cloud was very helpful. So it is working now with both types of speaker. Thank you.

Since the new version of Spotcast was recently released, continuing to play from Spotify stopped working. Your automation will start, but Spotify will no longer play. In the log is this:

For example, if I listen to internet radio, everything works fine. It only does this when I’m playing Spotify

861

That’s out of my hands, you need to log that as an issue on the Spotcast repository

862

Ah, I thought there was a problem in connecting your script to the new version of spotcast.

863

:rotating_light: USAGE OF THE AUTOMATION :rotating_light:

The automation to start the resume is intended to be used as a backup. If you already know you are going to send (like a TTS or mp3) and know you want to resume what was playing afterwards, I strongly advice to start the script yourself, and not rely on the automation, as it is a bit flaky.

See here for instructions how to do that.

Update

2023.5.0

:recycle: RESUME SCRIPT

:star2: Improvements

  • (2022.5.0) Target determination now only works if Home Assistant speaker groups are used in the speaker_groups setting.
865

I’m having some issues where it fails to resume and was about to follow these instructions but i’m unable to use the link. Not sure if this an issue on my side or the link is broken.

866

Which link do you mean exactly?

867

Wait, my bad. I copied the readme from GitHub, but forgot to fix the links
You can follow the link to the GitHub repo at the bottom, there the links will work. I will also correct them here.
The links are fixed now

868

The link is still broken for me. Just to confirm, I’m referring to the ‘here’ link where it says 'See here for instructions how to do that.’ It works at top of the page however.

869

Yes, that one should work, you probably need to reload the page.
Otherwise go the linked GitHub page where the same information is posted

When creating the script to not rely on the automation, where would this script go? would this be within the script I use to start everything (like below):

alias: gate announce
sequence:
  - service: script.google_home_resume
    data:
      target:
        entity_id: >-
          media_player.main_bedroom_room_speaker,media_player.living_room_speaker,media_player.grace_bedroom_speaker,media_player.kitchen_display
      action:
        - service: tts.cloud_say
          data:
            entity_id: >-
              media_player.main_bedroom_room_speaker,media_player.living_room_speaker,media_player.grace_bedroom_speaker,media_player.kitchen_display
            message: The gate has been opened
mode: single
871

Yes, this should work, although I would suggest to provide the target entity id’s as a list.
You also don’t need to provide the target, as you already supply it in the service call

alias: gate announce
sequence:
  - service: script.google_home_resume
    data:
      action:
        - service: tts.cloud_say
          data:
            entity_id:
              - media_player.main_bedroom_room_speaker
              - media_player.living_room_speaker
              - media_player.grace_bedroom_speaker
              - media_player.kitchen_display
