Has anyone come up with a way to have events trigger google home speaker. For example, the driveway sensor is tripped–so google home announces that someone is pulling in the driveway. Or there is unexpected movement–so google home plays audio of a dog barking… Any ideas?

This would be fantastic. I have 3 GH’s and would love to be able to push announcements to them. Arrivals, departures, sounds when my SkyBell rings, etc.

Has anybody been able to get the GH hack that @flakhany posted about to work?

I did this using the Generic MediaRenderer app, bubbleupnp server on an android tablet and “big talker” (or other Sonos compatible media app in the smartapps).

Yeah - I have been having some trouble with delay and also kicking my chromecasts off my network. Was a good excuse (and it was time) for a new router. I’ve got the google wifi on its way, so I will see what it is like then.

Got it working. Noticing the same 5 - 6 second delay. Another thing I guess is if you have music etc playing on GH, it will interrupt and won’t continue playing after the announcement. That’s a bummer.

How do you like your new router? Been thinking about getting one.

I got this working but I have long delays before any sound/text to speech is played. About 6-10 seconds before I get any sound using Big Talker.

What kind of delays are you experiencing with this?
