Is there any ways to make the sonos text to speech another language? My homey is in norwegian and the speaker speaks in norwegian, but i would like it to speek english even though my homey is in norwegian. ---

To my known there is no other way then changing the language setting of your Homey. If you change Homey from Norwegian to English, your SONOS will speek in English as well. ---

I know that Google also requires a payment method for other applications like Google Maps. While it’s free to use to a certain amount of requests. It’s so make big users pay for it. My guess this is the same situation here, you get X free credits and have to pay if you want more. ---
