Unwanted delay after exciting 10 actions.

Bear5 — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 17:37:41 GMT

I have expanded the “bedtime” routine on Google Home Automations. it now has 13 actions. Upon execution, after the 10th action it pauses for several seconds before continuing to execute the remaining three actions. I can’t figure out what is causing this pause. Does anyone have any ideas about what is causing this delay?

A screenshot of the automation could help us work out your issue.

The routine has a long pause between “Tell me today’s tasks” and “Announce Tomorrow, ”. Other than that, the routine works fine. (see link below)

Try rearranging the actions to see if there's a conflicting action.

Or try copying (using copy feature) that automation and removing actions where the problem occurs.

That Google drive media can only be accessed by you.

The community here has a picture icon to add them.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them and let you know if they work. Also, for some reason the icons on my reply box does not include the picture icon. I set the access to the file to “Anyone with the link”.

When I clicked on the link my phone asked me which of my Google accounts I wanted to use. I didn't select.

For me it's easier to use the community website.
