Same here…seems Google implemented new stuff… @Glenn_Dijkstra , are you please looking on it ? Hmm…but maybe you can’t fix it even because now I see even Casting audio do not work… (not related to GoogleTTS…) ---

Maybe try the [Google Services App | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.qluster-it.GoogleServices/Google-Services/)? You can cast those voices to Google devices. N.b. You will also get nicer voices 😉 ---

I switched to the Google Services App this morning. While I appreciate the alternative very much, for my basic needs the configuration and setup is much more complex than the TTS app. But once the initial Google setup is done and you have created the devices + trigger flows for each hub it’s not too bad though, so great for now! 🙂 ---

For me it was stopped working for 1 of my speakers. A couple of weeks ago, it suddenly start working again. But since today none of the speakers (5) work anymore. Maybe the end of this app, its a pitty… Downloaded google services today, but i dont understand it (yet). Dont know why it has to be so complex. Google tts app is much more straight forward. Hopely there will be fix (or a simple version of google services). Dont get me wrong i appreciate all the effort both developers put into it! ---

Finally it hit me too. The “Your pizza is waiting” msg worked days longer than “Fridge door is still open” msg, but now I only have the bleep, on my Nest mini, Home mini, Chromecast and Lenovo alarm clock. ---

Find it a bit strange that @denniedegroot is not replying, if he does not want to fix the problem, it would be good to inform us, maybe another programmer can take over the development of this app. ---
