And nothing happens. However when I remove announce: true, the file plays back fine.
The speaker has S2 firmware, and is on the same network as HA with no firewall that would interfere.
I know that I can instead snapshot, play media, and restore but I would rather get the overlaid audio working. It seems from reading around that others have had success but I canāt see where I am going wrong.
Take a look at this post. The user experienced a problem with using announce in the recent release and has a work around. Check to see if you have the same issue.
Thatās the one that was released for use with the latest version of the Sonos app (version 80, the half-baked one thatās laggy and missing features and downvoted into oblivion in both app stores).
Honestly, not sure how to check in the app, I cannot see anything in the system pages in the new or old app.
Iād presume the latest as it arrived on the launch day of the new app and an update was required as part of the setup.
A little upset with my choice to re-buy into Sonos at the moment. It doesnāt work with Qobuz very well, so Iāve sideloaded the old app onto my phone - until that stops working anyway.
In Home Assistant, go to Settings ā Devices, pick one of your Sonos speakers and its firmware version will be displayed in the Device Info section at the top of the page.
