Audio for routines is playing out of the incorrect speaker despite the correct speaker being selected in the routine setup.
I've got a nest hub in the kitchen and a nest mini in a bedroom. I have a weekday routine that runs at 8:45 every morning. It was working fine. I took some time off so I turned the routine off so that it wouldn't wake me up.
I reactivated the routine, and the audio is now coming out of the kitchen speaker when it should come out of the bedroom speaker.
In the option for "run this routine on," the bedroom speaker is selected. I figured I would jiggle the handle a little bit, so I edited the routine: selected the kitchen speaker then saved the routine; then I went back into the routine and changed it back to the bedroom speaker.
Audio is still playing out of the kitchen speaker.
I know that the bedroom speaker is set up correctly because it responds to commands, and if I choose the broadcast option and broadcast to the entire house audio comes out of both speakers as expected.
I also tried creating a speaker group. I placed both the kitchen speaker and the bedroom speaker in the group. I assigned the group to the routine. When the routine runs, audio comes out of the kitchen only.
Things that aren't a solution: I saw an older post that mentioned a somewhat similar situation, and that user fixed it by creating a custom routine for this rather than using a built-in routine. If there is a bug in the built-in routines that is causing audio to play on the wrong speaker, we should be able to delete the routine. But built-in routines can't be deleted despite users not actually using them.
I would appreciate any assistance or ideas you folks have. Thanks!
