Google Nest Audio problem with playing Radio

[Glenn_L]

Good day,

I have the following problem:

When I have an automation, and I want to start listening to the radio, I doesn't work (anymore).

Starter: "Studio Brussel"

Actions:

When I choose "Play Media" > Radio > "VRT Studio Brussel" ... it doesn't do anything.

When I choose to have my own command "Speel VRT Studio Brussel via TuneIn" ... nothing happens

This worked perfectly before 😞

Thanks for the help!!

It could be that that particular station isn't playing nice with TuneIn or Google (it happens sometimes)

• Try without the TuneIn. Radio app is another option with Google. You shouldn't have to include "Radio app"
• Try contacting the station directly
• or replacing with a different station in the automation.

Thanks for the reply SmartComeH-TAGS. Funny thing is, that without automation, it works. When I just say “Hey Google, play VRT Studio Brussel via tune in” … there is no issue. It’s just in the fact that it’s in the automation. I want my radio to play in my goodmorning routine 😉

This is what I did and it has worked on multiple occasions. I live in Australia.

Thanks, creating it via Automation instead of Routines does the trick ... One thing I miss in Automation ... How to start the automation on the device you are talking to? Seems to be removed in comparison to Routines ?

Now you can only choose 1 device to start playing ...

Yeh, it's not all there yet in Early Access. Fortunately we are still able to create new Personal/Household routines from that editor.

We need both options... The device we speak to and a specific device 

I used that command there too as I didn't know which editor you were using.
