What automations do you use Google Home in? Let us know below!
I like the idea for having google announce when a leak sensor is triggered
Exposing devices in Home Assistant and seeing the devices in Google Home works great with Nabu Casa! Can control them and add them to a room. But Google Assistant keeps saying the devices still need to be set up in the assistant app. So no voice control via Google Assistant, works with voice in Home Assistant though.
I'm curious, if I have a matter device added to Home Assistant, will it also be visible and controllable in google home if I scan the QR code? in other words can I view and control a matter device from both HA and Google Nest/Home interchangeably?
I wonder if there are limitations to the send text command because when I try to put the text command "play sex and the City on Netflix," it doesn't work. Same thing when I try the text command "turn off ambient EQ." A command like turn on the light worked but I don't need Google to control my devices cuz that's what my home assistant is for. I want Google to do what Google does using an automatic command from home Assistant That way I don't have to use my voice. Anyone have any insight?
Great video, especially thankful that you put "hey Google" as text on the screen instead of playing it out loud in the video.
i think this was the best tutorial in my whole life
Ha, well thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video
My kinda video. Long, detailed, to the point. ❤️ Thanks dude. You're a hero. 😁
Glad you liked the video!
Great video, well explained. Gave me some new ideas for automations to use with my Lenovo smart clock 👍
Fantastic tutorial!
Step by step, the steps match the actual interfaces you'll see.
Thank you!
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Everything works perfectly, thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you, master skywalker 🙏
Absolutely fantastic tutorial. Very much appreciated.
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Very helpful. But your head movements make me spin out.
Outstanding Guide!!!! Thank you dude
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Great video, thanks!
I'm having issues while trying to add the Home Assistant to Google Home. I can find te service ([test]MY PROJECT), but when I press continue to add, it loads perpetually. Any ideas to why?
A++++++ Thank you! 🙏
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video! I noticed that the Conversational Actions by Google have been sunset in June 2023. Any alternative ways? Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks so much. You tip solved my problem where i could not play on Google locally, I've put HA container on host network and now it is wonderfull.!
I was considering cutting that section to try to shorten the video but I'm glad I didn't!
@@BeardedTechGuy I'm happy that you didn't 😎
Another great video!
Glad you liked it!
Love the specifics of how you do these videos...asking prematurely as I haven't attempted this yet, but maybe I'm not the only one with this question: Can you simply set up a media "helper" group that you want the messages sent to for say when the window is opened rather than adding each media player separately? Just curious but again, thanks for the granularity of the videos...helps so much!!!
I'm glad you liked the video, and great question!
I setup a media group helper and I am able to control some things to devices in the group. I can for example call the Google Assistant SDK: Send text command service to have google commands run on multiple devices. I cannot however, get the send notification service to work or send a lovelace dashboard to the group.
@@BeardedTechGuy Got it! I finally figured out how to use an Ikea 5 button remote to send a "Please come downstairs" voice message through 3 Nest Hubs and 1 Echo Show so wherever my son is upstairs, he'll hear it. That's what I took from the video, so again, thanks so much!
@@pcampane99 Oh that's clever, with all those buttons you could have each button be for a different house / person notification. Thanks for sharing!
This was a great tutorial. One issue though, how could i enable the google asssistant on home assistant to access personal information. Like my calendar or name. Whenever i try it says i need to enable it but it never works when i try. Ive followed the official guides on HA but nothings worked. Any tips?
Great video and easy to follow along and set up. Thanks so much for doing this. One quick question if you have minute, I want to run a automation where I turn off the tv for the night and then my google speaker starts playing relaxing sounds for a set amount of time, say 2 hours. I can get all of it to work except the speaker never stops playing no matter what amount of time I entered be it 2 hours or 2 minutes. Do you know if a times command like this command is possible?
Glad you found the video helpful!
The easiest way would be to make your own "relaxing sounds" music file that is the correct length you want and upload it to YT Music and call it for your automations. That might now fit your use case though / could be annoying.
I had another idea of creating a virtual switch in HA that could trigger a Google Home Routine that then triggers the relaxing sounds with a timer but I can't figure out how to get a virtual device to be usable as a trigger in Google Home (the virtual devices show in GH but cant be used for triggers with everything I've tried). If there is a way to use a virtual device as a GH trigger that would probably be the easiest way to accomplish what you want.
I don't know about home assistant, but in the Google home app, I created a "try your own" automation and wrote "play ocean sounds for 8 hours". I created a separate action to start at 10 PM. It's been working fine for me for 3 years now. Hope this helps.
You are a hero. Thanks for this great detailed video!! This video could really help me out. But i run into a problem. I just cant create a project on the Google Actions console. It keeps giving me the message that something went wrong creating my project. Tried everything, log out and in again with my google account, different browser, clearing cache, incognito window.. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Hi, thanks for the video. Very well explained. I am wondering if you can give command through google home mini speaker to play music from Jellyfin server ? If you can make a how-to video would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Very interesting - thank you. Question: how should the google home commands look like? Say, i want to turn on the airco in my car (that is supported). Is there an overview of possible commands? Should I set up these commands in HA or in Google Home, or is there no particular setup required, after the installation proces?
The commands you would send through home assistant would be the same exact commands you would speak directly to Google home to accomplish your tasks.
Thank you for this video. It helped me out a lot. I couldn't figure out why Google devices wouldn't broadcast from my HA. Thank you, thank you! Can you do one on linking the ring doorbell camera to HA? That's my last headache, lol.
Glad you found the video helpful!
What issues are you having with Ring integration?
@@BeardedTechGuy I can't get the video of whose at my front door to appear on my nest hub when the doorbell rings.
I don't have a ring doorbell so I can't try this out but seems like you'll need to run the Ring-MQTT add-on and then from that you should be able to use home assistant cast to display a dashboard that has the camera feed displayed when the doorbell is rung. Here's a forum thread talking about it a bit community.home-assistant.io/t/live-view-of-ring-doorbell-camera/428933
Again not sure if this will actually work but that's what I was able to find and I hope it helps get you in the right direction!
@@BeardedTechGuy awesome, and thank you for the support. I'll give it a shot and let you know.
This is helpful, but how would you approach the following:
I want to ask google a question and then I want it to report back the status of some devices. I have made this automation in home assistant, but now I want that automation to be triggered by google assistant (which I have figured out how to do with helpers) but then I want google assistant to read back the custom response ive made in HA. how do I get Google to see my custom response and read it?
Cool video, thanks a lot!! :) uhh i missed part where to get private key ID and private key,for service acount config in the option of conencting withought home asssistnat cloud
Hi The Bearded Tech Guy:
Thanks for your super useful video.
I have a different video idea for you.
Here is my scenario. I bought a VeSync plug. That works well with the Google Home Echo system. My problem is this plug isn't visible to the Home Assistant.
So, is there a way to link Home Assistance with Google Home-managed devices? If yes will you please do a video on it!
I cover doing this very briefly at the end of this video actually! 31:45 goes over setting it up. You'll need the Google Assistant SDK setup as well
not working with google nest mini speakers, I added them in HA, but no sound when I call TTS service
Nice vid thx
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. I am about to migrate from Hue to Home Assistant and still want to use Google Assistant - this tutorial really helped me.
I'm glad the video was helpful!
@@BeardedTechGuy Really was :) - however I am stuck at the Actions on Google part since for a few days now I am not able to create a new project there. Every time I try, it just tells me "Something went wrong, try again later". Actions on Google Support is not very helpful unortunately, so my integration project is on hold for now :(.
Hi! thanks so much for this video. Question: If I have my external URL aetup as a sub domain, do i use that for the auth url and do I still add in the :"port" as well? I keep trying and getting the error message "invalid redirect url"
i'm facing same issue
Great video, very detailed
Glad it was helpful!
@@BeardedTechGuysir pls i need a help, got blank white screen after linking device on google sdk method
i follow same stuff in method-2 also check home assistant official doc. but couldn't get it there error
couldn't reach [test] project name , please try again please guide me what is issue i try multiple times check all things to make sure all is ok but nothing works
do you know more in the meantime? i'm running into the same "couldn't reach"-issue. just keep trying or what does help?
sir can you help me, i got blank white screen after linking device on the input url section from the last method. the callback not running, just white screen
Do I need public IP for this? Because not everyone has public IP, in our country is paid service. In 9:25 mins is that IP. Thanks for the answer.
hi, i am stuck when i try to add [test] home assistant to google home app. i am getting error when loading the page : ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. anyone can help please? what could be the problem?
I wonder if there are limitations to the send text command because when I try to put the text command "play sex and the City on Netflix," it doesn't work. Same thing when I try the text command "turn off ambient EQ." A command like turn on the light worked but I don't need Google to control my devices cuz that's what my home assistant is for. I want Google to do what Google does using an automatic command from home Assistant That way I don't have to use my voice. Anyone have any insight?
Could not reach [test] HomeAssistant. Please try again. 😢 Some help please 🙏
I use duckdns and self made certificate
I have same error, any solution?
Same problem here
@arnetr1987, @DominikPrucha, @RadoslavMalinov
Same Issue here, did you gues manage to resolve this?
@@Kindtnick no
@DominikPrucha , i deleted (all of my Google projects and started all over again. (i entered a wrong url in the first project and I already had a Google project for reading out my nest devices) .
Now eventing works.
After that I created a new project for reading out the nest devices. If you have them I suggest to create the api in another cloud project and not in the same project of the assisten @
I have integrated google home into home assistant, but I have problem with google nest mini 2 , which does not play media nor TTS
I'm getting a "Could not reach [test] xxxxxx. Please try again." error in google home. What do I do? (I've added a description, app logo and privacy policy)
Nice explain, When I try add device In Google Home , I got this error, could not reach [test], please try again, any luck for this problem solution??
I've got the same problem. I can reach everything, see the login-screen etc. But after 5s "your test ... account will be linked" i get the same error: could not reach...
a trouble-shooting-video would be great ^^
@@waldemarfech my HA URL start with http and not working with https in Google Chrome, so chance of not working Google Home in my case??
Yeah I have the same problem, any solutions?
Same problem, and I have https
Did somebody find a solution for this? Same issue here
I can never get any cast devices to appear..........
THANKS for mention to set up the DOCKER CONTAINER in HOST mode
I Think if you simplify and explain custom url and how to get it, that will be awesome, because that is a missing piece for some of us i guess.
I followed your steps one by one. When I connected to Google Home, I could enter the Home Assistent login screen, but after entering my account and password, it showed: Could not reach [test] myapp. Please try again
is it have solution?
at 29:19, I'm having a problem to get this command to work. If I just type "broadcast" in the message box, it responds with "what is the message?", but if I type "broadcast testing" it says "Sorry, I don't understand". Anyone else have this issue?
Would love an update to this video. It's looking like HA has updated and simply flipping on the Google Assistant switch, like at 2:12, doesn't seem to be an option anymore. Looks like they're trying to push everyone to the cloud garbage...makes no sense...we run this so we can keep stuff local.
Do you know of a workaround? Their documentation for an alternative process is pretty rough...
The toggle shown at 2:12 in the video is for setting up with Nabu Casa Cloud. If you want to avoid the subscription you'll have to do a different way. I shown one of doing it starting at 5:54 in this video
@@BeardedTechGuy Sweet. Thanks.
@@BeardedTechGuy Right now it seems to be impossible to create new projects in the actions console which is a bummer. There are two threads in stackoverflow with the same problem ("Something went wrong when creating your project"). Guess I'll have to wait to follow your nice tutorial.
I can't create a project in the Action Console. The page keeps jumping back. The failed attempts can be seen in the google home console. There you can import them. However, it seems that you can only create Matter projects there. For other projects, you'll be redirected to Actioon's Console, where you won't be able to see the projects. I hope someone finds a solution, or another way to integrate the Google Assistant.
Using the 2nd method I'd like to use my duckdns url.. Should I append the 8123? I'm confused and I can't make it work.
Yes, you need to have :8123 after your URL. This is actually required in a few spots. You can find the 3 spots its needed at these timestamps: 7:55 8:59
hey, Very nice tutorial but when I want to ad "Google assistant SDK" it tells me that my access is blocked ... Any ideas why and where my mistake could come from ?
"Erreur 400 : redirect_uri_mismatch"
Where in the setup process are you running into problems? Right when logging into the Google Developers Console or somewhere else?
Hello. Please help me. I followed all instruction but after entered a name and password for home assistant (time in your movie: 13:12) get a foolowing popup message: Something went wrong. Try again
Hmmm that's an odd one, do you get the same error if you purposely type in the wrong username / password you'd normally use to login to home assistant with?
Casting doesn’t wake up my nest display from sleep… pls help
If Home assistant and my Google nest hub are on the same wifi network- why do I need home assistant to have cloud ? Surely my gateway is Google hub and when I sent it a command it executes locally to home assistant? This is an assumption not something I know but want to confirm?
How much prep time did it take for you to create this video -- it looks like you spent some time researching how to setup the API interface with various Bearer Tokens and Pub/Private keys. Great job. News Year Eve here, and I am rather be watching your videos and not Mariah Carey
This one took probably around 30 hours to research, record, and edit. Glad you liked the video!
What I'd like is the ability to simply trigger GH simple coitional voice commands.
much like what is possible with setting an Alarm
me: Ok google set alarm
GH: what time
me: x o'clock
example:
me: Ok google turn on tv
GH: would you like A or B
me: A
or
me: Ok google play music
GH: what kind of genre
me: A
is home assistant or nodered able to do that?
Not to my knowledge, the issue is that Google doesn't support the two-way conversation like that to be able to support it.
I know that HA has definitely been coming out with some voice control stuff of their own, so I bet once that gets more polished you'll be able to do something like that through their solution
I followed everything and it worked almost pérfectly but some devices didnt show up in my HA, is that normal?
Which devices didn't show up?
Protip: to open a web page in a new tab, just click the link with your middle-mouse-button
Σ( °o°)
Or hold control while clicking normally
I am getting : Error: Invalid redirect URI. When adding device to google account
I had the same, check you url's entered in google
Is Google Cloud paid? It asks to start a free trial and forces you to register a payment card
I was able to follow along up until 11:53 then you lost me. Seems like you missed some steps there
You need to add into your configuration.yaml file the following:
google_assistant:
project_id: [PROJECT-ID from Google Cloud Console]
service_account: !include SERVICE_ACCOUNT.JSON
report_state: true
secure_devices_pin: '#######' [Only needed for secure device use, change # to what you want it to be]
is everyone else having problems with creating a project in action console? Clicking the button just won't do anything.
Do you find a solution? Having the same problem :/
Good video but all my automations are gone...
Oh wow, which method were you following?
Is there anything in your automations.yaml file?
HA only discovered my Synology when I turned on host mode, nothing else
Firewall could block Google Home + HA linking
sir how to disable?
I just put HA in the DMZ zone
which ports to open?
Thanks!
Thank you!!! I'm glad you found the video so helpful
how to make HA access via HTTPS but not via HTTP? fucking HA
I'm stuck on being able to have a HA automation where if I say "Hey Google, the king has entered" to my Nest Mini, it will perform the automation and turn on the lights. Do you have a video on how to set up a voice command in HA assistant to be said to Nest Mini and the automation is performed?
I have followed this to the letter the only difference is that I entered instead of which is how my HA is served ATM. all seems well on the google API side but obviously home app not seeing this. How do I change this to https without NABU CASA? I ready you need duck DNS etc etc
the mind boggles...
