Control Google Home devices from HASS

All my searches yield results for the other way around, but I would like to control some Yeelight bluetooth bulbs which aren’t supported in HASS but ARE in Google assistant. I can add these bulbs in the Google home app and control them from there - so I wondered if I could add them to HASS that way around. I have Yeelight YLDP09YL bulbs, and the Xiaomi Mi Alarm Clock as a bluetooth hub.

You should have found a bunch of results, all of which provide the same answer - not possible.

Damn - at least I can end my search.

Thanks @Tinkerer

I believe there is sort of a way. I haven’t tested this myself.

There is a Google Assistant add-on which lets you send commands to Google. You could send a command to it asking to turn on/off the light in question. There is also a Docker version.

Why not use IFTTT and an input_boolean?

Did not know that was possible! Trying this route first, though @sparkydave’s solution looks good too.

The search is back on! Thanks all!

Hello, any news on this topic?
Thanks

I got this to work using this excellent addon: https://github.com/AndBobsYourUncle/hassio-addons

See this thread: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/community-hass-io-add-on-google-assistant-webserver-broadcast-messages-without-interrupting-music/

Give it a command like “Set Yeelight 1 to 50%” and it’ll do that. It is quite slow, but it works.
