I recall having this issue a little while back before I quit using it. I think the component might be broken. Might be we should make an official issue request for it.

Thanks Guys

I gave it a while after a reboot and it works now.

Hi, did you ever get this fixed? I’m having the same problem since I moved to 56.

It worked for about a day then I had to reboot the Lannoucer app on the Fire Tablet.

I don’t think it’s HA.

You may be right, I just rebooted again and this time it worked.

I’m experiencing the same issue. I get the occasional error in the logs and a portion of the time I trigger voice nothing happens, even after restarting Lannouncer. I’m trying to set up some testing to further narrow down the scenarios where this occurs.
