I have a couple of apps (29) and some flows that poll apis every 15mins but speech has been running ok for some time. Recently though, homey takes a while to say something. I have homey speak some lines with a variable I preset depending on who comes through the door. This variable is triggered by a flow based on presences. When I open my door, I see homey’s Led turn orange (meaning speech is happening) but most times it can take up to 10-15secs before homey speak. Homey also stutters and a sentence of around 15-20 words takes a min to complete speaking with homey taking Long pause to speak. Is this because of the server or something happening that I should take a look at to prevent this? ---

I have a slightly different problem, homey does not speak at all anymore only if I do a reboot then he talks again for a few hours … no idea what the problem is … ---

I have similar problems. When Homey wants to speek, the yellow ring burns for about 1-2 minutes, then Homey stutters and speaks very poorly. Speaking out a simple line like “I switched on the light” takes a few minutes… Did not try a reboot… Gr. Remco ---

Have the same problem, made a ticket for the problem. This was some where in May and Athom repleyd it would be soon resolved when homey v2.0 is released. Soon… is relative … hope for a solution soon… ---
