Time-triggered Home Announcement Routines Not Activating On Any Device

[Camilo]

I am trying to set a routing at a specific time. The only action is to anounce a message "It is time to take your medication" .  

The problem is that it doesn't work at all. What am I doing wrong?

in general, I haven't found the way to trigger voice reminders (or tasks if you want) at a specific time by any means. It is very frustrating.

Hi, this code works. You also can do it in the Google Home App.

Interesting. I am a programmer but I don't know about this type of script. Where does this code go?

[Pitsom]

You have to go to Google Home Web. home.google.com

Use the script editor and paste the code. Validate Save and Aktivate the Script.

In my experience, the Home Automation Scripts do not currently do this reliably; however, the Google Home App works flawlessly for this. I set this up for my elderly mother and it works perfectly everyday. Just create a 'Household routine', choose a 'time of day' and 'day of the week' starter, and choose 'Announce to household' action.

Does it announce the message out loud on the google nest mini device

It announces it on both of her speakers. One is a nest mini and the other is a nest audio (the bigger one).

Hi, 

In Google Automation (https://home.google.com/), you can also set the volume.
