using automation scripts with typpe : assistant.command.Broadcast. Now it stopped working completely there is not broadcasts is spoken even though script logs shows "Action attempted for Assistant command: [assistant.command.Broadcast]".

This is very much required feature to make automation's more useful in Home.

Hello, the same thing with me since this morning, whether through the script editor or a classic routine. From the moment the broadcast is automated, there is a crash. On the other hand, no problem for voice broadcasting.

Hi, my scripts have the same problem, occurred overnight, the hub issued sometimes the message : sorry i do not understand this, but mostly nothing. Only voice activated commands seems to be working. All scripts worked fine before.

Hi Found work around for the Broadcasting issues.

In My original scripts I have multiple Starters and Conditions by reference "-name" with combination of 7 different automation scripts.

Now I have made each script for each automation then Broadcasting is working. It solved the Major Problem. But it is wise google can fix the issue having multiple use cases in single script file
