Just configured google text-to-speach using the docs. Everything seems to work because i can see the following in the logs:

the loginfo doesn’t show any errors and it says the mp3 has been cashed. When i try playing sound to the same chromecast audio it does work, so the CC is ok.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: OK, just changed the command to :“say(“waarom niet?”,“googletts:nlNLStandardA”, new PercentType(100))”. Now when i trigger the rule i can hear not a normal chirp from the chromecast but more something like morse dots in two tones and then something that resembles a burp, but very quiet. I kid you not.
When i change the text to be spoken to a longer tekst and listen very well at 100% volume i can make out the first one or two words very quiet in very poor quality and then it stops, even though te text is 8 words long??? Again when playing mp3 with playSound() everything workes as expected.
EDIT2: for some mistirious reason the quality got better, but the volume is still really low, much lower then using playSound(). vollume is set to max in TTS configuration using paperUI
