I have the “original” Hub, and for years I’ve had Rule Engine 5.1 applications that sent a notification to my phone and (via Chromecast integration) my Nest Mini speaker. A couple of months ago, I noticed that my wake-up message was coming maybe a minute after the lights came on. Now I don’t get the message at all. I still see the phone and the speaker in the “Speak” action list, but no sound on either. Any ideas?
Have you rerun the chromecast app to rediscover the speaker? If that doesn’t work, delete and re-add the speaker. You can use a virtual device to hold the original speakers “in use by”
I have tried both, and they didn’t help. What I’ve ended up doing was to simply share a switch between the hub and Google Home, which causes Home to run an automation to speak a message. That has worked, though it’s not as flexible as being able to speak via Chromecast would be.
Is the problem limited to the nest speaker?
Or do you not receive the notification on your phone as well now?
I don’t get voice notifications sent by the “Notify” verb in a hub app on either phone or speaker. I can send a notification in text form to the phone’s hub app.
