I purchased the one year subscription yesterday to Nabu Casa and now trying to understand how it works. I have read everything but still confused. I bought it primarily for voice integration although I do want to support the project in any event. I already had remote access working through a VPN.
Questions:
-
Do I have to have the remote control turned on in order to use the voice integration when I’m in my home network?
-
Is there anything wrong with just leaving the remote control on all the time on the companion app?
-
I have Assist set up with whisper and piper configured. The Wyoming integration is set up. I have Google Home integration set up with necessary entities exposed. Home Assistant Cloud by Nabu Casa is showing up as a works with Google partner with the entities listed.
When I do my OK Google or hit the Google assistant button and say something like turn on bathroom light, instead of turning on the light it simply considers that a search request and opens up a browser. See picture.
Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
- Finally last question, does the Nabu Casa subscription assist me in playing back notifications to my Google devices or is it only a benefit when I give commands through Google.
Thank you
