unwanted verbal responses during an automation

[oconnor_jb]

I have an automation to turn off all the devices in the downstairs of my house. I usually trigger it before leaving the house or going upstairs to go to bed.

Recently, my Google Home speaker has started responding with verbal output like "Downstairs Bathroom is already off" and "Office Ceiling is already off".  so, what I would prefer is a silent automation (since other people in the house may have already gone to bed) is getting very chatty

some of the devices this happens with are new smart switches from TPLink Kasa, but it's not happening with all of them, just a few of them

Move all the devices you have into one room on the app. Even though they are dispersed throughout the house. When you trigger a device you will hear a chime only. Not a chatty voice. 

For instance all my devices are in "Bedroom" even thought they are in fact in the living room, hallway, bathroom etc. 

I hope this helps you.
