Verbal notification / Doorbell automation operating time

Cupertino, March 31, 2024

For those of you doing the HomeKit solution where you trigger Apple Music sounds/custom sound bites (via Scenes), I have a few questions: - What is the average length of time you have to wait before the automation works? I don't take into account the inevitable delay between the doorbell ringing and the contact sensor changing state. I'm talking about the time between finishing the automation and then successfully triggering it. I have found that this automation solution sometimes takes hours before it starts working. There's something about how long it takes for this kind of audio output automation to update in my HomeKit ecosystem. - Have you found a difference in this response time if you make an Apple Music sound (something from an alarm album) versus your loading something in your library?
