I have the same problem except mic and speaker setup.
Try
{
“mic”: “1,0”,
“speaker”: “0,0”,
“client_secrets”: “google_assistant.json”
}
for the mic setup…
I have the same error

Google assistant “lady” tells me that “quote” There is some basic settings that need my permission in the google home app. Why??
Settings in https://myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols?pli=1 are set due to instruction.
When i click open web ui, it just does nothing

ok so im not sure whats going on… but its working… even before just for fun i changed the mic setting to 1,0, and now whenever i say ok google, its working. but it doesnt show anything in the logs or anything… its kinda weird. but it works.

Strange! Is it normal that you can’t enter “web ui” after you pasted in the authorization code?
For me Google Lady still says that “There is some basic settings that need my permission…”

it must be? Im not sure. it doesnt allow me to get to it…

Installed Google Assistant on my phone after this everything works.

Ahh maybe thats it. I already had assistant on my phone. Maybe you need to have one device running assistant before this can run it.

Hi,

Absolute noob (don’t understand coding) using an iMac to access new Rasbian on Rasberry Pi 3. I added the Google Assistant add-on but when I try to open the Web UI, I only receive an error message site cant be found.

The address it goes to: http://hassio.local:9324/ correlates with Network ( Container 9324/tcp ) Host (9324).

Logs show:

Had the same error, and just got this working. The instructions on generating the google_assistant.json file are here : https://home-assistant.io/addons/google_assistant/.

If you don’t have SAMBA configured and are using SSH then you can,

  1. Connect to Home Assistant using SSH, and cd to the /share folder (not the /hassio/share folder that seems to be refered to in SAMBA references)
  2. Type nano google_assistant.json
  3. Open the json file you donloaded from step 3 of the instructions above. Copy the contents into the clipboard.
  4. Paste into the google_assistant.json file opened in Home Assistant. (If using Putty just right click on the mouse.)
  5. Save the file.

Hope this helps.
