Are there speakers that work with smartthings, to announce stuff? (no alexa)

Devices & Integrations
1

I know alexa can be linked and used, but it for some reason misses a lot of announcements, sometimes it just stops working.
Are there alternatives that work?

2

Sonos, Bose and Samsung smart speakers can be used in SmartThings Routines to make voice announcements

I have a bose. Just yesterday it migrated to Edge. The app finds it continuously disconnected, the notification volume cannot be adjusted. The SmartThings integration is useless to me!

Samsung R3 works. Not sure if they are still selling those.

I use Google/Nest Home with @TAustin’s Cast Web API driver which has been amazing.

this just reminded me that i havent heard my symfonic/sonos speakers announce things in a while. upon investigating they needed to be re-paired/updated with the sonos app, but were still linked to ST on the backend. they were around $75 from ebay a couple of years back.

i have been using Bose integration for long time, recently the integration is disconnected and i tried to reconnect again but the device is not found.

Anyone facing this problem? or can help on this? thanks
