Added a couple of devices to my new C7 today to test/play w/features.
I added Zooz double plug, a Visonic contact sensor, and an Iris motion sensor. All three added fine and work fine alone and in automations.
However, only the Zooz plug will add to Google Home. I have Hubitat linked to Google home, and see the Zooa plug entries there, however, the contact sensor and motion sensor will not appear. I've relinked the account in GH repeatedly, refreshed devices on the device page, etc.
The problem appears to be in the Hubitat Google Home app. I select the two sensors and update to add them to the list of devices available in GH. I check on the device pages and they say that they are in use by GH.
However, within moments they disappear from the list of devices in the GH app and the In use by notation for GH is also gone. Really bizarre...
Current list in the HE GH app - need to add the two sensors.
Unless I misunderstand badly, this is just not working. Appreciate any suggestions. If it won't stay selected in the HE Google Home app I'll never be able get them to appear in Google Home. Thanks!
Try leaving the log running in another tab while you add/verify your devices. Usually this behavior means that the device types aren't supported by Google Home (at least in my experience). The log should say something to that effect.
Interesting. I have contact/motion sensors in GH from SmartThings, and expected they would work from
They say this in the app " If you include a device that isn't compatible with Google Home it will just be ignored and not sent to Google Home." Why not just list the device types that aren't currently supported.
The fact that it looks like it's working (devices show the "used by google" indicator for a while) makes this very confusing.
Agree, and I get that, but since it seems to work initially (the sensor device page shows the "used by google" setting) the current experience is very confusing. It looks like it's supported by HE, and then something goes wrong, rather than just not working at all.
Motion and contact sensors are the most commonly used sensors in home automation, and since they are compatible w/Google Home (my sensors in SmartThings appear just fine in GH) the current text ("If you include a device that isn't compatible with Google Home...") is actually incorrect. They are supported by GH, HE just doesn't support enabling them in HE. Big difference there.
A minor adjustment to the current text would be a big help:
If you try to include a device that isn't supported by Hubitat for use with Google Home, for example motion and contact sensors, they will not appear in Google Home."
OK, my whinging here is done. I was just a little tee'd off that I'd wasted my time last night futzing w/this. No lives were lost, and no root beer was wasted, move along, nothing to see, nothing to see.
