Routine with news and media

MrBrownie
Community Member

When making a routine, the play media option is always last and cannot be used more than once. I want a "good morning" routine that tell me the news and then start my favourite radio station. This seems impossible.

The media option "news" is always last and can't be used twice, so even adding manual command like "start radio channel" will be in front of the news and the news will be never heard.

Does anybody have an idea to automate this?

Hey there,

Thanks for bringing this up. I know how important it is for you to include your radio station on routines and I'm happy to help.

A few questions - Are you able to listen to these radio stations alone on the Google Home device? Have you tried to use a different phone/tablet to create or add the action on your routine? This is for us to further isolate the issue. 

 

Make sure that your Google Home, Google app, and Google Assistant app is up to date. You can check it on Google Play Store for Android or Apple Store for iOS devices.

 

Please let me know if you have any further questions. 

Best regards, 

Garrett DS

Thanks Garrett for the reply. 

The routines are working fine. I can start the news, I can start a radio, no problem. The issue is that the media option (to start news or radio) is the same function and can only be used once and at the end of a routine. 

So for me it looks like it is impossible to make a routine that plays the news AND ends with my favourite radio station.

Greeting,

MrBrownie

Hey Garrett,

 

Thanks for the respons. It's a potty that it doesn't work, but stuff like that are continually in development so hopefully we will see extra functions in the near future.
