#Voice PE not working as media player in Assist Satellite

I have an issue with Voice PE and the automation that triggers an Assist Satellite conversation. I currently have one Voice PE in my garage (defined in the area Garage) and I also a Google Nest in my office (defined in the area Office).

I have created an automation that should trigger when I have been in my garage for more than 3 minutes. No other conditions. As action I have chosen the Voice PE in the garage as target and that it should start the conversation with asking ‘Would you like to listen to radio?’ (entered in the message field).

In the extra system prompt field I have entered ‘if the user answers yes, then play (a specific radio station through radio browser) in the garage’.

The automation works well, BUT the radio plays on my media player in my office (the Google Nest) instead of on the actual Voice PE in the garage, even though I have the conversation on it.

I have tried to change the name of the Voice PE in the extra system prompt, It is currently named 'media_player.garage_media_player' with the friendly name 'Garage Media Player'.

I have tried to - in the extra system prompt:

use area for the radio to play (play X in the garage)
the exact entity name of the media player in the garage (play X on media_player.garage_media_player)
the firendly name of the media player in the garage (play X on Garage Media Player)

..but nothing works.

How would I have it play on the actual Voice PE where the conversation takes place?

When not using the automation, I can ask the Voice PE to play radio X and it will play on the Voice PE through a script I made. In that script I used the friendly name Garage Media Player. So why doesn't it work in a conversation (with the extra system prompt).

Thanks for any hints and ideas!
