I previously had BigTalker working fine. I removed it and added BigTalker2. Now I am having a problem. When I try to configure it, the Talk with is grayed out and says “You can’t currently add this.” What am I doing wrong?
What is BigTalker? Is it an official app?

I am not sure if it is official. It is a smart app that can be added via github.
No, it was created by a community developer.
Best bet for getting support is to post in the developer’s thread for the smartapp.

When SmartThings is paired with a compatible audio device (such as a Sonos, Ubi, LANnouncer, VLCThing, AskAlexa, etc) and Big Talker SmartApp, your house can say what you want it to say when events occur.
