Hello - Very new here so my apologies for the wrong vernacular.

While listening to music on my Sonos Fives, my goal is to have a cabinet open, the voice say “what’re we drinking?” over the same speakers, pausing the music, and having the music start again. Currently the automation stops the music but does not restart it. Thank you in advance.

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

look at using music assistant to play the music. then you can just send TTS to the speaker and music assistant will automatically "duck" the music whilst playing the announcement without you having to do anything manually.

Thank you for your reply. I’ll look into music assistant. This would be used to play the music itself and not the voice action correct?
