Google Home app disappeared from Hubitat

[janzilverstone]

Hi there good folks!

Today I added the Google Home app to my Hubitat - but when I now check the Google Home app Hubitat is not connected any more.

I then tried to connect it again which doesn't work. I get the following messages from the Google App

1. Hubitat added
2. An error ocurred

Anybody has an idea on how to fix this

Thanks - Jan

Just for the record - in the Hubitat logs I can see that Google Home app was connected!

With google I always wait 24h before doing anything else, dont know why but changes take time to update in the home app

They should appear at the bottom of your devices page in g home, but get if a few hours before messing with any setting

You can't start the connection from Hubitat. You have to start the connection from Google Home. So, I don't understand what you mean when you say:

You shouldn't have to add the Google Home app in Hubitat, it should already be there. If it isn't, then the only way to get it back is to go into Google Home, unlink Hubitat and add it again. Adding the app manually will not link it with your Google Account.

When you say "Hubitat is not connected anymore" are you saying that it was at one point and you had devices synced to Google Home? Then the Google Home app in Hubitat had to be installed. And apps can't uninstall themselves, so you had to have removed it. If you did, you can't just load a new instance of it. You have to start over with the Google connection.

If you’re still having issues linking Google Home to Hubitat, you may need to follow this procedure to remove any remnants within your Google account...

I am just dealing with this problem. I figured it out. I am assuming you connected at least once. The problem I had was Google Home shows Hubitat as unlinked but it really isn't. 1. Go to https://myaccount.google.com/ 2. Click on the security tab [Screenshot_20190718-215259] 3. Near the bottom find: [Screenshot_20190718-215259] 4. Find Hubitat and click on the unlink icon [Screenshot_20190718-215742] 5. Go back and do the normal Google connection steps. Mine worked after that.

Then try linking Hubitat to Google Home again.

Thanks Ogiewon - that was what I was looking for.

The Google integration is enabled - BUT I have some devices (Aqara Window sensor and Aqara Temperature / humidity sensor) which don't appear in Google Home - they work in the dashboard but are not passed on to Google Home. I might open a new topic to ask for that issue.

[mark.cockcroft]

Sensors aren't passed over to gh as you can't control them

Thx. Mark

But could they be?

Possibly...

You may may to look at the following thread. (Note: I have not used this Community-Maintained Google Home integration, so I have no first-hand experience.)

[Alpha] Community-maintained Google Home integration

I've been transitioning over to Google Assistant from Alexa for a while now, and one of the biggest problems I had was the fact that the Hubitat integration with Google Home reported all of my window blinds and ceiling fans as lights. I got annoyed enough with it that I decided to write my own integration between the two. This is a very highly customizable integration that allows the user to define how each device type appears to Google Home and how Google Home commands map to Hubitat comman…
