Take a look here. Sorry, Dutch only.

> @Ronald_de_Boer Ja, dat heb ik ook net werkend gekregen. Mijn situatie: Google speaker staat in de keuken en vriendin vindt het fijn om daar radiostreams op af te spelen. Als Homey iets te melden heeft met een gesproken boodschap, dan wordt de radiostream onderbroken en de radiostream herstart niet uit zich zelf. Maar omdat Homey ‘weet’ wanneer de gesproken boodschap is afgelopen en ook ‘weet’ of en - indien ja - welk radiostation er werd afgespeeld, is Homey in staat om de radiostream opnieu…

I dont have that issue, but perhaps there is a loop of somekind?

The flows are exact copies of your flows…

The message is played on the Sonos Arc.  
If I am watching TV while testing this flow, the message keeps playing over and over again.  
What I would like is that the sound of the tv resumes after the message.

Not sure if that is possible…

I have the same problem.  
Audio keeps running until i stop the Sonos speaker.  
It looks like only new flows have this problem.

Not sure if it’s the cause of this issue but when I open the TTS device while the message keeps on playing, at “tijdsduur” there is a very high number , like 800 or something.  
Not sure what this “tijdsduur” means….  
Do I need to set this this time somewhere in the settings?  
In the screenshot it’s not there yet, because I didn’t start the flow yet.

Thanks for a great app.  
I tried the SSML coding and it works fine. But when used in the “Start saying (text) with volume gain (gain)” the gain it played with 0dB instead of the -5dB I have entered. Without SSML it plays at -5dB.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

This is a picture of the flow. If I change the text to “Dette er en test” (this is a test) it works.

I’m trying to setup the Google service - text-to-speech - I have created a project on Google Cloud and all seems fine here.

But my problem is that I can’t choose anything in Voice selection under configuration. The dropdown is just empty. Can anyone help. I have tried to restart the app but nothing helps.

When you press save, is there a message in the Homey App - timeline?  
If so, what does it say?

Hi,  
I have a question: I have the new Homey Pro 2023 and I am trying to add the non-cloud tts device in the app. However, when I go to devices - add device - google services - tts (non-cloud) - connect, I get the message there are no new devices found. I tried the same steps with the older homey I there I am able to add the tts non-cloud device. How can I solve this or is this function not available in the new Homey?
