Can't connect to Google Home

[Foxtrot7azv]

This seems to be a common issue, but I can't find a solution...

I just got a Hubitat Elevate today and am setting it up. Got a bunch of devices including Wiz lights added without a problem, but I'm having issues connecting Hubitat with Google Home.

I followed the instructions in the "Google Home installation helper" app. After selecting the hub I'd like to allow access to, the browser goes to a basic page that says "The parameter "state" must be set in the query string." and syncing the two together fails. I have tried rebooting everything, Hubitat is on a static IP address.

Hubitat is running the most current software version, 2.3.3.140, on hardware version Rev C-7.

Any help resolving this will be greatly appreciated! It's very frustrating getting everything set up but not being able to use google to control it.

Hubitat is on a static IP address

Static on the hub or a DHCP reservation on the router?

Have you gone into the Google Home app and added Hubitat as a linked service?

Welcome to the club, @Foxtrot7azv!

On the hub, not reservation on the router.

Setting it to static was in a way the issue. I'll add the solution below.

That's what I'm trying to accomplish.

Static tends to have an issue with losing the DNS server if you're not careful.

I eventually noticed that despite changing the IP to Static and changing the network name of the hub, it was still showing up as the randomly assigned IP and default name.

I shut down everything--not reboot, a full shut down of router, computer, phone, hub, modem, switch, etc. Then I unplugged everything. Then I plugged everything back in and started it all up. When I accessed the hub, the name and IP address were showing properly. At this point, I tried linking to Google home again and it was successful.
