Sonos is a bit spendy, so my solution is Home Assistant + Alexa media player + turning off the Echo mics + 3D-printed caps to hide the red light rings

Alexa + MyQ = Announcements?
When you use https://www.home-assistant.io as your Home automation hub, you can integrate it with just about anything. For example, Alexa integration is via https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alexa/ and having Alexa speak through automations is accomplished by using HomeAssistant Add-on https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player and you can integrate myq hubs to it via https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/myq/ - Then via automations you setup you can have Alexa speak (announce) when doors are opened, closed, etc. for any state change. You can also use the Alexa integration to have Alexa voice routines invoke scenes which are tied to Home assistant scripts, etc.. to open, close garage doors and so much more. HomeAssistant is all about integrations, see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/

Integrating the Hashnode API with my smart home
As you can see, I have the latest articles returned with their title and id because these are the only fields I requested. For my scenario I need the first one because that is the latest article. Now I am going to use a HACS component called "home-assistant-variables". Go ahead and install this, because we're going to save the id in a variable.
