Found a few other threads that remain unanswered, so I need to ask.
I can’t for the life of me get any exclusions to apply to google assistant.
I followed this guide and it works up until the point of using exposed_domains, expose_by_default and entity_config. Nothing has an effect on what shows up in GA. I get all my devices, which is a problem because it creates addition entries for my chromecasts and speakers which are already in GA.
I have tried “sync my devices”, reconnecting my account, removing and connecting as well. I get all devices every time. Here is my current config, for testing I just want 1 device to show.
So after changing this and rebooting HA server, you have deleted the HA account from google home app and again added it. Check if you can control any other device than what you have exposed from HA.
I just removed all the integrations I didn’t want link with google from HA, then performed a “sync my devices” and it removed everything I wanted.
Not an elegant solution but it’ll do. Now to add everything back into HA.
So something in the config is not working, I found many similar bugs from 2018/19 but nothing recently. Has anything changed recently? can anyone else exclude entities from Google Assistant?
I am also having issues with excluding devices. I’m trying to exclude a single device (to start with) but it doesn’t work. I’ve restarted Home Assistant, synced devices using the entity button (for Google Assistant) and told Google Assistant to sync my devices. It’s still there. What am I missing?
I gave up back then because I had other issues I had to take care of before getting Google Assistant to work. But I gave it another go just a couple of weeks or so ago.
This time I only wanted to expose my temperature sensors so I can ask Google Assistant what the temp is in the living room etc. I also have a single light exposed by Home Assistant.
