Google minis on new C7 - no talkie

I have 3 google minis in my home. I have used them for a long time on myC4 and also a C5
I recently plugged in one of my C7s and thought I could use the google minis like always.
But they didn't speak when I tried to manually activate speech through the device page.

The C7 is accessed with Chrome. It has platform 2.2.5.131 installed.
I installed chromecast (beta)
let it run discovery
checked all 3 of my devices that it found
clicked DONE
From one of the GM device pages I clicked init, refresh and Speak "text" and no joy

Thinking I could do it another way I
Removed one of the GM from the C7
turned on Hub Mesh for that GM in my C4
had it show up in my C7 and it responds to manually telling it to speak.

So my questions is why didn't it work in the first method on the C7?

No replies? Is this just a dumb question?

I something like this happen once on my hubitat, and I found that the ip addresses of the mini's had changed on my local lan. Fixed dhcp leases were applied, and then discover re-ran. I've never had a recurrence since. Probably does not apply to your case though.
