Automation time.delay bug

Sigik — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 10:43:32 GMT

Hey everyone,

when I use an automation script, everything works perfectly except for time.delay, as soon as a time.delay is added the automation stops. it doesn't matter how long I set the delay, seconds, minutes , etc.

example:

actions:
- type: assistant.command.Broadcast
message: first message
- type: assistant.command.Broadcast
message: second message

-------------- everything below gets cut --------------
- type: time.delay
for: 1min
- type: assistant.command.Broadcast
message: third message

This seems to be a bug.

Hello, can you check the execution history?

I have had the same problem, after looking at the execution log, it was clear that the time.delay was working fine. The broadcast message did not reach the speaker.. Reason not known by me.

This is still a problem when the routine is invoced by voice.

It's a shame that Google still has not fixed it.

Google just doesn't care.

I am having the same issue. I did notice that some commands after the time.delay command do work, but the broadcast command does not.
