Time-triggered Home Announcement Routines Not Activating On Any Device

Camilo — Sun, 11 Feb 2024 19:03:30 GMT

I am trying to set a routing at a specific time. The only action is to anounce a message "It is time to take your medication" .

The problem is that it doesn't work at all. What am I doing wrong?

in general, I haven't found the way to trigger voice reminders (or tasks if you want) at a specific time by any means. It is very frustrating.

In my experience, the Home Automation Scripts do not currently do this reliably; however, the Google Home App works flawlessly for this. I set this up for my elderly mother and it works perfectly everyday. Just create a 'Household routine', choose a 'time of day' and 'day of the week' starter, and choose 'Announce to household' action.

Interesting. I am a programmer but I don't know about this type of script. Where does this code go?

It announces it on both of her speakers. One is a nest mini and the other is a nest audio (the bigger one).

You have to go to Google Home Web. home.google.com

Use the script editor and paste the code. Validate Save and Aktivate the Script.

Hi,

In Google Automation (https://home.google.com/), you can also set the volume.
