Using the family bell sound on a google routine

[mishmatta]

Since Family bell is being discontinued, I use family bells for alarms.  What gets the attention is the music.

When I create a routine, it allows me to use music, but how do I use the chime sound from the family bell, or something similar, so that it just plays a jingle sound while announcing something.

My family Bell:
Time To Wake Up
Jingle Plays while this is said automatically

Routines:
Announce "Time To Wake Up"
Play music "wants to play a song on spotify or youtube music".  I don't want a full song.  I just want a musical jingle to catch my attention to wake up!  The words said once will not wake me up.

If I choose a song, the routine goes like this:

Time To Wake Up
Ok, playing "song name" on spotify now

I just want a notification sound to play while my announcement is made so I don't sleep thru it!

• Add Action 

• Get info and Reminders 

• Play a delightful chime (before or after announcement)

If you had Alexa you would be offered numerous different sounds to choose from.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work.

It says "I looked for a delightful chime, but either it's not available or can't be played right now"

You're not using Gemini (AI), are you?

Are you set to US English in Assistant Settings- Languages?

[mishmatta]

Gemini is not an option yet on my home app.  I have it on my phone.

US English in Assistant settings - Languages.  Yep.

I have this same question! Hoping someone has ideas 

[mishmatta]

Found it - @SmartHomeH-TAGS was correct, just needed to play around a bit to find it. 

Here's some screenshots (I'm visual lol)

So add a routine and choose whatever starter you want.  I chose "a certain time".  Then add your first action.  In my case, my first action is "Announce: Good morning!".  Then I added a second action:

This is what my routine looks like:

I have 3 "delightful chimes" played after "good morning!" and then it tells me the time, then 3 more "delightful chimes".

Hope this helps!
