Spotcast starting "ding" on google home device

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I have setup a whole wake up script with increasing sound level on my google home speakers and it all works fine with one exception: when starting up the google speaker starts with a confirmation “dong” that breaks the atmosphere.
Is there any way to avoid that confirmetion “dong” on the google device?

Thanks

Only by playing a silent sound file every minute or so to keep the connection alive.

Best Alternative I have found so far is a daily automation setting the volume of the device to 1% every evening (automation).
I still have the startup dong, but relatively quiet.
