v1.9.6

iOS TTS Support

iOS doesn't support Text-to-Speech in mobile notifications like Android does. This release adds support for speaking announcements via smart speakers.

New Features

• TTS via Smart Speakers: Configure a media player entity (HomePod, Google Home, Alexa, etc.) to receive spoken announcements
• Works for both iOS and Android users who want speaker-based TTS
• Test notification now also tests the TTS entity

How to Enable iOS TTS

1. Go to Routinely options
2. Enable "Speak announcements via smart speaker"
3. Enter your media player entity (e.g., media_player.homepod)
4. Test with the test notification step

Note

• Android devices continue to receive TTS directly via the notification
• iOS devices will hear announcements through the configured smart speaker
• Both can be used together
