I would like to get a feedback of some actions with message spoken by my google home.

e.g. "night mode is on!"

trough my dashboard I can play a "text to speech" on my google home speaker.
Is there a way to trigger something similar with automations?
Tried to use the speaker as an action but the UI doesn't seem to offer any action on that device.

the speaker appear in the dasboard as a tile and in that tile there is a button that open this popup with various options

humble eagle
#

not sure what you mean for setting.. but in this tile I select text-to-speech

#

then I'm offered two options

#

google translate seems to work for me
