So, I never really used the Google Home app much except for linking up a speaker group.
I recently bought a pixel 7 and came across automations. I like the idea of setting these routines up and trying them out but since I don't have any smart home devices I apparently can't right now?
I saw another forum discussion from last year with multiple people having the same issue and the generic go to settings options not working for them either. But there was never a fix posted there.
After setting anything up it will just show me on bottom left that I have no audio devices connected. No amount of setting hopping or reinstalling fixed this, and anything to do with audio will not play. Only when I set that it gives me notifications when it starts do I see that it tells me it can't play the action with the audio.
Has anyone encountered this and managed to fix it? I'm not buying a seperate speaker just to use this functionality.
Googling and looking through both home app and phone settings did nothing.
Thank you in advance!
