If you want arbitrary names then the Toggles trait is what you want. Otherwise I would recommend thinking in terms of what the device represents and adding appropriate traits (i.e. TransportControl for a media player, etc) rather than thinking in terms of what you actually have. It may make sense to create some extra virtual devices and use Rule Machine or something to map your logical devices to appropriate button presses.
I'm seeing this error in the log for Google Home Community and my Google Home app on Android is showing every Hubitat device as offline.
I have just recently attempted modifying my Google Home Community app so something there may be messed up. I wound up adding a new type, adding a new Google API service as directed by the instructions. I already had set up something similar in the past. Perhaps more than one is a problem?

First all thank you for your amazing work, I got it to work for my garage door and it worked perfectly. My question is can I just require a PIN for voice and not for app use? I want a PIN to open the garage door with the voice command, but not if i'm inside the app.
Make sure you do at least one manual sync first to register your app with Google. If you don't do a manual sync then Google won't know about your app and can't do an automatic sync.
Sadly that's not possible. There's no way for the Hubitat app to differentiate between a request that came from the Home app vs one that came from a voice command.
I got an email about a Migration: Smart home Actions migration overview | Cloud-to-cloud | Google Home Developers
Do I need to make any changes? Perhaps the installation instructions will need changes?
I could be misunderstanding something here, but the second part of this setup process for a new build seems to be deprecated. When I try to go to console.actions.google.com, it informs me that Conversational Actions have been sunset. It appears that the sunset started June 13 2022, and it went into deprecated state one year later. Is there any word on how to set this up since the deprecation?
Looks like it still works, navigation and sites have changed. new site is https://console.home.google.com/ Instructions can be followed still more or less.
I have the same offline issue - how can I perform a manual sync?
Either swipe down in the Google Home mobile app until the little refresh arrow appears or say "Hey Google, sync my devices" to a Google Assistant device.
