Adding Google Home as Sensor

I want to be able to detect my alarms on the Google Home. There are instructions here: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/googlehome/ but it says the devices have to be a list. What is list format in this language? Do I have to add quotation marks? What is the name? Is it what I called it in the Google Home app? I’m clueless. Thank you!

[Full disclosure, I’m pretty new to Home Assistant, so sorry in advance if I made a mistake in the description below (and I hope someone else will catch it) :sweat_smile:]

The syntax used in Home Assistant configuration files is called YAML, you can read more about it here: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/yaml/

Whenever an item in the configuration of some component is a list, it just means it can hold several items. Each new item in a list is denoted with a hyphen, followed by all the settings for that specific item of the list. For example, notice how in the page you linked, there’s a hyphen in front of “host”, which means that “host” is a setting for the first (and only) item in the devices list.

For the Google Home component, the only required setting of items in the devices list is host, which is the IP address of the Google Home you’d like to add. But, since you want to track alarms, you should also add the track_alarms setting and set it to true. So in this case you would have the hyphen to mark the start of a new item in devices and then the two settings, like this:

googlehome:
  devices:
    - host: IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_GOOGLE_HOME
      track_alarms: true

If you had two Google Homes and wanted to track alarms for both of them, then it would look something like this:

googlehome:
  devices:
    - host: IP_ADDRESS_OF_1ST_GOOGLE_HOME
      track_alarms: true
    - host: IP_ADDRESS_OF_2ND_GOOGLE_HOME
      track_alarms: true

Hope that helps!

Is this feature broken in the latest release or something?
I tried to add this, but without any luck - no sensor is provided :frowning:

The integration has been removed by now :frowning:
