Anyone having issues with Google Video Doorbell (Wired, 2nd Gen) Device page locking up under Safari? It does this under Mac OS and iOS.
If I switch to Chrome in Mac OS, it works fine. It also loads fine using a Samsung browser on my Android smartphone.
There are times when I can access the Device page from Safari, but that's rare. I've not been able to determine any pattern / trigger event that makes it possible pattern. At one point, I thought hitting Refresh was the key. Nope.
BTW, thank you for the Google SDM API App. I was concerned that I would not be able to integrate any functionality given some earlier searches. Now I see that even video has some measure of support (I see a clip in the Device page of Chrome and my Samsung browser).
So, ideas about the Apple challenges?
And, should I be able to simply enable HomeKit to get the basic doorbell event or do I need to use Homebridge?
EDIT: I have registered my wife's iPhone as a device and successfully pushed the Doorbell press notification. That's an approach that has me engaging the Apple ecosystem device by device rather than once via HomeKit.
Thanks.
EDIT: I just took a look at my Hubitat dashboard under Chrome. The Device(Doorbell)/Template(Attribute)/Option(Attribute=Image) shows the short clip around the doorbell button push event. Safari's rendering of that tile is blank.
Bottom line, I always thought this was/is probably a Safari issue, but I thought someone here might be using it and have some insight. And, FWIW, I have the latest OS installed on all Apple devices.
I don't use Apple, but I suspect that is your issue. The latest Google Doorbells do a little GIF clip for a short video. Android would show the video clip but Garmin wearables up to a very recent release also wouldn't display this, and it would be blank. One of the recent Garmin updates fixed that for them.
If you use Chrome on Apple (if you can do that), does that work? That would isolate it to the browser.
I see the video clip using Chrome on Mac OS.
I see the video clip using Chrome on Android
I see the video clip using Samsung on Android.
Safari on Mac OS locks up trying to display the Google Video Doorbell device page.
Safari on iOS locks up trying to display the Google Video Doorbell device page.
I think this pretty much confirms it is a Safari related issue.
Got my 3rd gen thermostat online last night - at the end it felt like leveling up after a final boss fight! There are a couple of things need to be updated in the instructions:
Firstly, Google no longer allows downloading of the JSON file - you have to create it yourself. That is fine, except the provided template gives no clue as to where to find all the uris and urls for redirect, auth cert, etc. AI chatbots eventually got me there but only after many of trials and errors while it cycled though outdated info.
Also, you now only have ONE CHANCE to copy and save the "Client Secret" when you create the Client ID. There is no way to access it afterward. However they do provide an option to add a new Client Secret to your Client ID if you forget or lose the first one.
Finally, was totally unable to complete the authorization in Hubitat until I added myself (my google account) as a "Test User" under Google Cloud > APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen > Audience. Would get "ACCESS BLOCKED" on the final login screen. Not sure if I just missed something and could have avoided this or if the "Test User" was the best solution (it came from an obscure post on stack overflow of all places), but at least managed to get data flowing.
I tried to paste in a copy of the JSON with all the URIs that finally worked, but the system said I can't post links in my reply... my first post ever on this forum, so probably breaking all the rules...
