Emulated Hue Bridge - Google Assistant

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I have searched and tried a few solutions posted but none seem to be specifically for Hass.io. I have hass.io 0.51.2 running on a raspberry pi 2 and I am trying to get the emulated hue working correctly. My config is simple:

emulated_hue:
  host_ip: 192.168.1.192
  listen_port: 80
  expose_by_default: true

I can access http://192.168.1.192/description.xml as well as http://192.168.1.192/api/pi/lights but when I try to link hue through the google assistant app it never finds hass.io.

It seems that I need a philips hue account and that the pairing process runs for 60 seconds after I log in, but I am not seeing anything happen. Does anyone else have this issue? Are there more verbose logs than just looking at the home-assistant.log?

Have another search :slight_smile: been discussed many, many times before but in a nutshell you need an actual Google Home to use this approach and even then there are some hoops to jump through.

Simplest way to use HA with Google Assistant is using IFTTT.

Do you use google home or just assistant ?
Do you have a real hue bridge ? I think that you can only use one bridge with google home.
Also I needed to write the exposed domains in config.
