Is there a way to play differnt sound snippets triggered by flows ? e.g. play a door bell sound if a button is pressed or a audio confirmation after having armed a zone ? I saw some notes for Sonos only. Is there a general approach to play sound on different speaker ? Thx Gerhard ---

Yes, you can play audio through several speaker systems but the HP23 does not have a built-in speaker for some sad reason. What speakers do you have? ---

I have Sonos and a Google Home Speaker. ---

Soundboard app installed and uploaded a MP3-file. But Homey Pro says: cannot play sound. How to link a Google home speaker for sound playing ? ---

I use Sonos to play the SoundBoard, or internal Sonos sounds (bells, dogs) or a voice. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/5/054e0ab6a6e8641288399d89ac97f9b6f236a82d.png) ---

Is the file under 900kb? Thats the limit of the app. ---

Google does not play well in general due to protected eco system. No way to play sound from Homey Pro using Google device to my knowledge… I tried Google Chromecast app but no such option. And you can not send a “command” from Homey Pro to Google device, like on iOS Shortcuts app. ---

You can use the Universal Media Player app if you have a NAS / UPnP. ---

Also, you can send an URL to Google devices right. Use the Universal Media Player app (or FTP client) to generate URLs from files on a NAS or Homey and send it to the Google speakers. ---

I stand corrected. You can play sound on Google device using Soundboard + Google Chromecast. 🤣 I wish this was part of some basic intro communication…
