Hubitat and Google Home - device not compatible

[user5689]

So I've been having issues with my freezer not keeping temperature. But I can't decide if someone is leaving the door open or not. So I bought a cheap temperature sensor from aquara and noticed it was zigbee. Well I didn't want to be trapped by a single hub for a single manufacturer, so I did some research and bought the Hubitat to handle these sensors and any future zigbee or Z-Wave stuff that I purchase

I got the sensor paired with Hubitat, I installed the driver, now I can see the temp readings in Hubitat. But in order to make it work with Google Home I need to do the aquara integration. I feel like when I used to use SmartThings, anything that was paired with SmartThings would automatically work within Google Home. I'm struggling to find the same success with Hubitat

When I select Hubitat from Google Home, I login, I can see my sensor, but I get a message that it's not compatible with Google Home

I feel like I'm missing something simple here. Why won't Hubitat just pass the raw data from the sensor to Google Home? Is it possible to create a virtual aqara hub in Hubitat so I can do the aquara integration in GH directly?

Use the community Google Home integration instead of the built-in 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…

This worked generally well. I was able to 'remap' my temp sensor as a generic sensor. Now GH picks it up. Thanks, this gives me alot to play with
