Discovering new HA devices in Google Home

This is probably more of a Google Home question than a Home Assistant question, but I haven’t been able to find the answer anywhere, so I’m hoping somebody here can help.

I’ve added some devices after connecting Google Home to Home Assistant Cloud. I can’t figure out how to get Google Home to discover the newly added devices. I know that from Alexa, I can just tell it to discover devices and it’ll find any new ones, but I don’t see a Google equivalent.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks!

I’m not sure if there’s an easier way, but in the Google Home app, Settings > Works with Google > tap “test app” > Check for new devices (on the iOS app at least).

Hi,
With Google Assistant you can say ‘sync my devices’ to do that. Or from HA go to settings>home Assistant cloud>Google Assistant>sync entities to Google. You might want to first look at ‘manage entities’ to confirm which entries to be available.
Cheers
