Control where Homey gives its feedback

roel_hendr

Hi, 

When I trigger homey via the phone app, sometimes the homey speaks back to me via the phone and sometimes via the homey device. 

 What is the idea about this? Can I control this somehow?

Build-in is replied through the device which receives. For the apps, it depends on whether or not the dev added that to the app. But do you have some examples?

Well, sometimes when we are watching TV or listening to music and I want to ask something to Homey via phone, I want the receive its feedback on the phone and not from the Homey device.

For example I ask what will be the weather tomorrow or I enable some flow where I want to hear some feedback which I added to the THEN step in that flow. The Homey itself is placed near TV and I am sitting outside in the garden, so in that case I want to feedback via phone and not via Homey device.

When using speech through action cards, speech will go out through homey. That is because homey doesn't know where else to send the output to.

Would be a nice feature to be able to configure on the action cards where the speech must go

Should be an issue for that but can't find it now. You could use the line-out. There's an issue though where someone asks to not use line-out for speech.
