Alarmo and Google Home Mini Speakers

[crisp tendon]

guys, do you know how I can set up Alarmo so that when there is a trigger Alarmo would play an audio file on my Google home Minis.
I cannot find them as entities/devices. Are they incomplatible maybe?
Thanks

I believe you'd want to integrate them via the Google Cast integration.

Then they'll show up as media players

I believe they should be auto discovered though. You don't have an option to add them on your integration page?

You might want to provide more information on what you've tried already

@prime parcel they are inside HA already and I am already using them with Music Assistant...both individual speakers and also as a group.

You're gonna have to provide more detailed info. For instance you said "I cannot find them", but now you're saying they are in HA already

[crisp tendon]

you are correct....my apologies 🙂 they are in Ha and they work as expected. I am trying to use the same speakers so that when Alarmo is triggered, they would sound a specific sound. I am creating an Action in Alarmo but I cannot find the speakers in the device section. I am able to see door sensors, smoke sensors etc...but not my speakers

Ah ok, so yeah I think you're looking in the trigger section, but you want to look at the actions. You might want to review Alarmo's docs

What you're describing sounds like what's in the "Sensors" tab

I think maybe I see where the confusion is, you're not able to define or call an action here directly

You'll either want to create a notify entity in HA and then create a notification from that in Alarmo, or create a script in HA and then call that as an action in Alarmo

If you want to pass inputs to what you're calling, I think you'll need to make a notify entity

Alarmo calls them "actions" but the term is being overloaded/conflated here because HA also has "actions" (previously named service calls). In Alarmo you're only able to call on/off actions

So like flipping a switch, or triggering a script. Hope that all made sense

[crisp tendon]

ok, I'll check that! thanks for now and have a nice evening!

Let me know if you still have any trouble with what you're trying to accomplish

[crisp tendon]

I think I did it but I am getting this error when I do 'Try it'. need to figure out why...

[prime parcel]

Hm maybe take a look in your logs for more information?

Also just try calling the notify action from dev tools to make sure it works there
