I’m trying to get HomePod mini as the audio out for one of my shortcuts:

1. Get contents from URL
2. Set playback destination to HomePod mini
3. Speak contents of URL

Even with this shortcut, the audio output is only through my phone.

Anyone know how to get this working?

I’m new to HA, which devices do yall consider must haves? I definitely want a voice assistant - any suggestions?
