No, the default Google TTS is not setable, been trying to do that for years šŸ˜‰ Homey talks like a girl out of my smart watch with that Dutch female voice. ---

Since a few days Google TTS isnā€™t talking to us. Read several posts from others on Facebook, but no one found the cause and the solution. So I am hoping to find it here. ---

The Homey app GoogleTTS has stopped working since a few days, no voice to Google Home mini and Google Nest mini, do more users also have problems with this? Or do I have to fix this locally? PTP and app reset and app reinstall already done. I still can cast to these speakers. On facebook also many complains. ---

Donā€™t think itā€™s a problem created by Homey/ app, but probably a google firmware update. Maybe @denniedegroot can solve it? ---

After many messages on FB groups I can say, but itā€™s not hard evidence: It _seems_ ziggo users experience more tts issues than kpn (v10) users. I use the tts app since oct '20 without any hickups and several V10 users confirmed this. ---

It is a really strange phenomenon, Jan. If itā€™s Google, or the app, every user would experience the errors. Iā€™d say it has something to do with datafiltering of some kind, but itā€™s guessing. Iā€™ve got a home mini, nest mini, Lenovo alarm clock and a chromecast ---

Just chiming in to confirm I am experiencing the issue as well, but just on one of 2 Nest Miniā€™s (both on 1.54.250118 FW). I do hear the ā€œpongā€ start sound that indicates the device starts doing something, but no TTS voice.
