Hi, Would love to connect my [Xiaomi Mi Smart Speaker](https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1638992/xiaomi-mi-smart-speaker/reviews/) to Homey however it seems there is no app to get this to work. There is a Xiaomi app, however there is not an option to connect the smart speaker. The device is connected via WiFi. Is there a different way to get this connected and execute flows/actions? Any search direction / help is much appriciated. Cheers, Jack ---

@Jackass, is it possible to send speech messages to that speaker which then plays that ---

Yes, is possible. In Dutch: ‘Hey Google, roep om’. ---

I ment from a flow for instance. If the fridge is open for more then 60 seconds then send voice message to that speaker. In dutch: Hee sluit de koelkast het wordt een beetje warm hier binnen! ---

With the Google TTS app you can play text-to-speech to any Chromecast enabled device which are added to Homey via Chromecast app To stay with koelkasten 🙃 , an example ---

Can’t find that as an option in the Flow-Cards. Not optimal but you could create a place where you store your sounds and make use of this card: ‘cast a sound url’. ---

There’s a character limit, don’t know the number. It don’t play the TTS card _at all_ if the text exceeds the limit, without any error message. So then you know. This is about the max: ![Screenshot_20220308-221741_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/e/de25bbd09047a815c7a3e7ec1d7bc3e52e7b329c.jpeg) If the message is longer, I just add another TTS card with additional text, with a delayed start ---

Step 1 reboot Homey step 2 install Google Chromecast app from store, step 3 install your chrome cast speakers. Keep in mind that sometimes you lose connection and have to ad them again. Issue is now to Atom and thy are working on a solution for it. Regards Frans Claassens
