Flow speak text on Google

Warning: Currently the Node-Red will crash if the copnnection to the chromeCast will fail. I'm working on a solution to that.

With the node-red-contrib-cast node it is possible to let the Google Home speak any text.

How to install Extensions?

• open Manager palette
• go to Tab Install
• search for node-red-contrib-cast and install

Example Flow:

Example Flow with Text to speach:
