Google Home text to speech issues

I am having some issues with Google home text to speech. I have it set up when a door opens with a contact sensor it tells me the door is open. The problem is the Google homes tend to work about 50% of the time. Sometimes it says the message sometimes it doesn't? Any fix to this?

I always put in an 'initialise' then a delay of a couple of seconds before the notification text as a way of getting round this.
Seems to work for me OK.

Any chance you could explain how you do that?

Using RM.

I also have a refresh in there which isn't actually necessary.

There is also a user app by @bptworld called 'Chromecast Helper' which can be used.
This is available via HPM.

Thank you very much!!

For the initialize what is the parameter type?

Just leave it blank.
You should then end up with initialise()
