I have managed to get this working with my Sonos Speaker, however my Google Speakers seem to be a bit hit or miss. Mostly miss i'm afraid.
@bptworld , is your setup primarily with Google Mini's? If so what is your recommended config in the Follow Me child task?
I have several mini's and two hubs. I use the 'Initialize Google devices every X minutes?' set to 4. They still drop off every now and then but they have been much better. Anything over 5 and they drop right off.
Until Mike throws us some more magic with the Chromecast integration, there isn't anything else we can do to keep them alive.
Nope, just the every 4 minutes.
By the way, I am using the tile which indicates the speaker status, although during my tests I have removed follow me child tasks but the speaker status that the child task relates to is not removed. How do you reset this?
Please update the driver 'What Did I Say', the reset switch is in the new version.
BTW, I assume you mean child apps 
Any tips on getting Sonos to work? I'm getting this error
[dev:270](http://10.0.1.45/logs#dev270)2019-04-07 08:25:51.629 am [error](http://10.0.1.45/device/edit/270)groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: user_driver_BPTWorld_What_Did_I_Say_355.playTextAndRestore() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.Long) values: [Garage Door is closed, 50] Possible solutions: playTextAndRestore(java.lang.Object) (playTextAndRestore)
Ok I'm getting real close here.
I've got my speech properly displaying in "what did I say" but I can't get it to output at my speaker using "follow me". Here is my current error
2019-04-08 07:43:13.871 am [error](http://10.0.1.45/installedapp/configure/372)java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "7:30" on line 476 (lastSpokenHandler)
Line 476 has to do with times that speech is allowed.
I do have this section filled out in the child app
Thoughts?
Please make sure you're on the latest version, V1.1.1 as of 4/8/19. Just tested mine again and everything seems to be working.
If it doesn't work after installing latest version, please post a debug log.
Here is mine, showing that it worked.

Also curious why yours looks so different? This is what mine looks like using Chrome.
Thanks
Thanks. Updated child works now!!!
Mine is safari.
Thanks for the app!
Just got some google home minis to dedicate to announcements. Testing this app out tonight. Just starting, but looks promising!
Very minor, but I thought I'd mention the first green label appears to be incorrect:
I'm having some minor trouble with the app. Been playing for a while and I think I have it figured out so it can be reproduced. I've noticed some similar comments in this thread.
I have a speaker being enabled by a light being on. When I first create the child app for that speaker, even though the light was on when I created the child app, the speaker doesn't talk. After playing with it a while, I noticed if after I create the child app I change the value of the switch from off then back to on, it will start speaking. Almost like it doesn't register the switch value until the first change?
I also tried using the pause app switch at the top of the child app. It appears to have a similar issue - if I turn on the pause with a speaker based on a switch, the pause does nothing - the speaker still talks. However, if I then change the value of the switch it appears the Pause command is then recognized.
Hope that makes sense!
Using the info in my last post, I've been able to get all the speakers initialized by toggling the switches that control them. Took a while to figure out why I was having trouble, but now they all appear to be working well!
If I could suggest a feature: I'm not sure if others would find it useful or not, but I love being able to control apps from dashboards. You already have an option to disable the child apps via switch. Would it also be possible to link the volume to a level device? Then once you had the app set up, you could modify it from a dashboard without ever having to log back into Hubitat. Obviously not critical, just thought it might be a good idea!
Thanks for the great app! I'm looking forward to making my house lousy with announcements!
I'm getting this error.

My settings for time restrictions are
Any thoughts on what else I should check? I'm on version 1.1.2
Please try V1.1.3 - 04/30/19 - Attempt to fix bug in checkTime
Be sure to have Debug logging on. If you still get the error please paste in the logs. Also please do not format (</>) the log, simply paste it in.
Thanks
Version 1.1.3
So this speech would have been outside the permissible time frame, but it is still giving an error.

Also, I do not have priority set up for this zone, but it seems to think so in the log
Here are the app settings. Which shows priority is not set. But I also notice that the from time is -5:30pm instead of the 7:30am that is set.
Can you try deleting this child app and recreating it? Something just doesn't seem right with the times.
Thanks
Deleted and reinstalled, same error

It definitely something going on with your From Time... it's saving as 'fromTime:7:30' when it should be something like 'fromTime:2019-05-01T06:00:00.000-0400'
I can't seem to reproduce it, so for now just delete the child app and recreate it without the times to get you going. I can't work on it today, going to the Red Sox game (day game), so won't be home until later tonight.
Thanks
This is a test child app I just created and it's saving just fine... I'm at a total lose right now...

Yeah. removing the time restriction makes everything work fine. Adding it back in breaks it.
What is really weird is that I have another zone with a time restriction and there is no error.
Thanks for your help, I'll just leave the restriction off for this zone
