Can no longer link Google Assistant

Configuration

I tried it and now it works!! Thank you so much!

22

This issue was doing my head in so thank you very much.
Has this been raised as a bug so the documentation can be updated?

Thank you so much for this trick! I confirm it worked for me as well

24

That solved the issue for me as well.
We need to change the instructions to accommodate for the new situation - currently it’s not listed.

Thank you.

Fantastic, how did you find this answer?
Also, how do we go about getting the docs updated? Is this part of the home assistant core repo?

26

Clone and update the section or modify via github:

I tried linking to a different service and noticed that this extra page now gets displayed which contains data asked for in the Actions Directory part of the set up. So, I filled in that information and it worked.

Hi,

Thanks! I also ran into this problem.
I discovered that only adding the small logo in the Google project Directory information did the job already.

Thank you so much! You solved my puzzle and helped me to control my lights again

Speaking of updating, I see that already 3 people from here are creating PR’s separately with similar changes. Perhaps it would be more convenient to join forces and work together on 1 PR.

I prefer to see those changes in this one: Update google_assistant.markdown by new-kirte · Pull Request #22349 · home-assistant/home-assistant.io · GitHub

So if you have also created a PR, see if you can add something to this pull request.

Thnx,

./Klaas

This is great - but screenshots would have been very helpful. As I am not seeing a way to ‘add’ these items to my existing Google Project (Actions Console) - did you create over from scratch?

32

In the Google Actions Console, open your project and go to Deploy > Directory information. Fill out those fields.

Has anyone run into this more recently? I have the same exact issue and added all the directory information, but after going through integration setup docs, re-reading this thread over a dozen times, and validating external connectivity, I’m still hitting the same error.

I noticed that the account shows linked in Test Simulator Setting after the attempt despite the error (I can Unlink and another attempt will re-link).

I solved this without adding logos or the other info. I only used another device with a fresh instalation of Google Home and everything worked!

35

I did these and nothing changed. Did you have to wait some time to get the changes applied?

36

Unfortunately for me, tried every step here, but still not working.

Edit:
Just waited some more and @piereligio mentioned it should all work again, and it did! So don’t fix it if it’s broke, Google will fix it for you? :stuck_out_tongue:

37

Apparently yes ahaha
I’ve wasted a whole day behind nothing :upside_down_face:
Also another instance that I didn’t touch got broken with Google and resumed working out of nowhere 🥲

Hahaha I could control myself to limit it to just 3 hours yesterday and a whole lot of frustration the rest of the day :rofl:

I was having the same issue with not being able to link Google Assistant<->Home Assistant. In my situation, I had to turn off the proxy setting in Cloudflare for my IP.

I am getting the same issue, unable to link google home and [test]HomeAssisstant with all the added new descriptions and logos etc.

Can connect using cloudflare to the portal and all is fine, only not able to use google home and link it to Home Assisstant
