Google Routines: Switch Phone to Do Not Disturb (Multiple phones)

[awkwardmeow]

Hello,

I have two Google Pixel phones, a 7a that is for personal use and 5a that is part of a research program I partake in as a side hustle. At night I say "Good night" and Google Home turns all the lights off, turns my fan on, and loudly informs the house it is "Switching Google Pixel 7a to do not disturb mode."

I have spent so much time trying to figure this out so I assume it can't be done (which is kinda stupid...)

Two Questions:

1)  Is there ANY way to make Google Home routines switch MULTIPLE phones to Do Not Disturb? If not? Why not? I own both, both are are linked to same Google Home. I don't get it. Shouldn't she be capable of saying "Switching Google Pixel7a and Google Pixel 5a to do not disturb mode?"

2) If this is not possible, can we shut up the weird announcement? How insane that google thinks a BEDTIME routine should come with a long, forced announcement that my phone is being switch to DND. If 1 and 2 are both not possible, I'll just remove the automation and go back to switching both phones manually and let Google Home handle the lights and fan - which it can do quietly...

Thank you! I'm sure someone on her is smarter than me.

Disappointing. Seems every feature I want on Android still doesn't exist. This is one, the other is my Pixel Watch and Pixel Phone should have synchronized notification sounds / ringtones and I think it's insane they do not have the capability. So much work. Thank you for the response, I will submit feedback.
