Store and play wavenet voice message

This flow stores a custom Google Wavenet voice message locally and plays it on your Sonos and Google Cast devices.

Flow flow

(If you are satisfied with the standard node-red-contrib-cast voices and only use Google Cast speakers, this flow is not relevant for you.)

Copy the flow below to your clipboard and then import into Node-RED using the Import From > Clipboard (Ctrl-I) menu option.

Remember to install the required nodes before importing this flow into Node-RED (check out Node types box on this page)

Note: some third-party nodes may appear with blank styling, and not as they appear in the Node-RED Editor.
