Would love a direct Plex playlist solution, or an m3u8 solution where I could tell Alexa to play "such and such".

Would that also eliminate the need for individual speaker TTS control as you mentioned?

But "Too many devices" could become an issue for some users - especially the once having HS for many years - it becomes slow, there are posts about GetDeviceEnumerator function taking a minute...

I am beginning to not like groups in the Google Home App myself.
I think the individual TTS on/off as well as using the Device Control Might be a solution for my situation. Both might be overkill.
Going to test to find out!

Personally I don't like the groups anyway - something strange about their behaviour.

I would appreciate any input

I have a combination of Google Chromecast and speakers.

Anyone else have any ideas?
