Google home routine for chromecast audio

onsuk — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 12:42:12 GMT

I have a Chromecast audio connected to some speakers, If I ask the assistant to "play radio 1 from bedroom speakers" etc all works as expected.

But if I try to create a routine to play radio 1 at 7am every morning, I get a "you don't have an available audio device" message.

Seems a bit nuts to me that one of Google's own products wouldn't work in this way?!

Hey! I had the same problem, but adding "on (the speaker you want it to play on)" after the radio channel fixed that.
