I am using the Chromecast + TTS app to let a Google Mini say a predefined message. But I was wondering if there is any way of starting a flow from a mobile device that asks for user input to send a custom message? Or at least select from a dropdown list of predefined messages? From what I could fin…

In tasks you can send webhooks. That way you can sent a webhook, and make a flow for google mini. Probably it will also be possible to make a list in tasks, but don’t know if you can send different webhooks. Android probably has also a sort of tasks as ios has.

I don’t have this card. Is this also working on iOS devices?

Maybe a homey bridge? In that case you probably don’t have this card. Or you have to go to settings/experiments/power user. It’s the THEN card push notifications

I have the Homey Pro (early 2019) and an Apple device but not this card available. Even not when I activate the experimental option.
