Anyway to push voice alerts/notifications to Home?

On the portal the "Alexa Variable" is a Device/Contact sensor, under address it says 3(Close:0).  In the app it also says the "Alexa variable" is a contact sensor.

I used the motion sensor option. I had trouble with the contact sensor and when I tried the MS it worked so I stuck with it.

I created a group of state variables with names like.
$sSayGarageDoorsClosed
$sSayGarageDoor1Oopen
$sSayDryerHasStopped

I stuff a 1 in them and then a 0 a few seconds later.

Ok the delay was my mistake.  My program was when the kitchen light turned on, the variable went to 1 then waits 10 seconds then goes to 0.  In my Alexa routine, I had it activated based on an off instead of an on.  So it waited 10 seconds after the light was turned on then I guess more dely.  I now switched it to an ON and the delay is only 2 seconds.  Thanks guys.  Now I hope google can do this in the future.

Hi guys... I made my own way of sending command to google to speak... its a funny way though:

I finally got around to adding the HomeAssistant to the RPi that hosts the polyglot.  

Decided to use binary sensors from the ISY and create automations on the HA.  Now when my the sensor changes value, it broadcasts messages to the google home.  The only issue is that it does not abide by which speaker (have 5 google home devices) that I set.  But it still works.  The delay that GH had versus Alexa was less.

Nice!  I had previously setup https://github.com/greghesp/assistant-relay which is what HomeAssistant is using, but there were many problems, now there is a new version that looks to be much better.  It's on my list to look at again and add to the Notification Nodeserver someday.

I would be very interested in being able to make this happen as well, so I am looking forward to seeing post updates.  I am new and would love to be able to have Google tell me when and what door is open (or other sensor triggers).  Currently I just flash the light by my bed if any door is opened, then I have to look at my email to see what door triggered it.

Currently using Home Assistant to do this.
