EDIT: Managed to get AR back in business. I do not understand what happened. It was solved after multiple Python installations and uninstallations. Thanks for your help!!
EDIT2: Should “Cast Sandbox” work? I’m having same problem as @Ryan780 did but with Windows. Select device doesn’t list any devices. It shows just “no data”. At the same time Chrome browser lists all devices that are available to cast.
I’m also getting “update available” line for some reason.
I’m using: “You are running version v3.3.1b.” It should be latest
Ok so more that I use AR more it breaks down. Now AR seems like it is running just fine but no audio is still passed to my Home minis. Stopped suddenly and I get no errors. All minis are online and working normally, AR makes POST but nothing comes out.
EDIT: Did some testing with sandbox and sometimes POST goes to all google home devices, sometimes just one of them, sometimes none of them. This is weird. Also noticed that there was another topic where users said that Google integration has some problems.
Not sure if it has anything to do with this but fyi. I remember when I used Amazon echos (EchoSpeaks) and Amazon decided to limit how many announcements can be sent to Echo devices. This feels exactly same problem but there should be no limitations right?
So, Google released a major update to assistant back around Valentines day. Since then, all sorts of assistant issues have been popping up. It may be related. Not sure. I just know that over the past week, I have had 3 bugs with assistant (One of which I am going to have to roll back my phone to deal with as it has been a known issue for a while and Google doesn’t care to make the fix urgent)
Yep, I’m able to broadcast just one message in 5 minutes. Web interface lists all broadcasts and they are shown in log POST /Assistant -> Conversation complete but nothing comes out.
What a shame. Of course… if I’m the only one having this exact issue then it has nothing to do with Google or AR. I felt like everything was working normally 5 hours ago.
But still nothing comes out. Didonce again fresh install and right after adding user I managed to broadcast all 8 messages succesfully to my minis. After that it stopped and now the situation is that nothing goes through. Have to wait 5-10minutes and then Im able to broadcast once.
I was just reading that same discussion… could it be…
It destroys …everything… oh jesus…
I have three Google Home minis.
I did some testing …
Broadcast 1: all three works
10 sec wait
Broadcast 2: all three works
10 sec wait
Broadcast 3: all three works
10 sec wait
Broadcast 4: just two works
10 sec wait
Broadcast 5: one works…then small delay and second works…
20sec wait
Broadcast 6: no broadcast anymore.
So what could be the limit. 10 in 1 minute? After that 5 minute freeze…
After 5 minute wait I was able to broadcast once again to all those three devices but after that I have to wait 5 minutes again.
Why don’t you just cast to an audio group? Broadcast seems useless to me since it won’t play through all the speakers at the same time. Plus the annoying annout it makes prior to any message?
Same problem for me, broadcast was working in the morning now it sometimes dont broadcast anything and other times take like 5 minutes to broadcast to a single home… I have 11 google homes
Does it multiply depending on the number of google homes? Ex: 1 = 11 in my case?
But, I don’t think so since I’ve waited many minutes and it still not working.
I created a new google account only for the assistant relay and it do not work thru webcore nor thru the debugging website, earlier it was working but I can’t confirm if it is broadcasting thru all my 11 homes at same time. I noticed some delay in the kitchen a few times.
Right now I tried to say “broadcast test” thru my google home app using my original account and it didn’t do anything.
If I ask a google home device to broadcast something it works and it broadcast with my voice
My average broadcast per day is 30.
Not sure about that multiplying (3x) cause then it would mean 90 announcements per day.
Usually I’m broadcasting along the day but there is situations where 10 broadcasts could happen in 5min. It doesn’t need even that because now I’m missing even those single broadcasts sometimes.
I have hit a error 500 with the Cast Sandbox, it pops up a message on the top, and it shows in the log too. And of course, no devices are listed.
I have a guess, it has something to do with my RPi3+'s network setup. I use the Wifi on the same network as the Google Home devices and the Ethernet connection with another, “non-internet-connected” device. Assitant Relay gives the IP of the eth0, but accessible from the Wifi. My guess it tries to search on the eth0 IP range, but not on the Wifi’s range. Any way to force the IP? @ghesp
