Google Assistant Question

Configuration
8

i think i ran across your post while searching I seen that mentioned. I have that line, I only want a couple entities exposed.

Ive tried many things but this was my last attempt and where Im getting that error:

google_assistant:
  project_id: -id was takin from the actions site where it says project id
  client_id: -random generated with matching random generated in actions
  access_token: - taking from actions page
  api_key: - takin from action page
  expose_by_default: false
  entity_config:
    cover.garage_door_opener:
      name: Garage
      aliases:
        - Garage Door
    script.fireplace:
      name: Fireplace

Try adding the port to your server (8123 in most cases).
Also try to turn off your device wifi during the processus.

turn off wifi where at? from my laptop or the APs in the house? HA runs on an ubuntu vm

8123 wont get through only 443 gets routed to 8123. i guess i could try to forward 8123 to 8123 but I dont see how that would be different

11

yes check my message just posted :smiley:

12

I seen that message, am i missing something obvious? :slight_smile: oh shi…man

so you use exposed_by_defaut: false but then expose: true so like this?

expose_by_default: false
  entity_config:
    cover.garage_door_opener:
      name: Garage
      expose: true

The wifi of your Android device, sometimes it needs to access ha from outside of your lan.

About the port thing, check this post/topic.

thanks. I did try to add :8123 with no luck but I really dont see that being differnet. i will try to add what you suggested, forward 8123 and turn wifi off real quick. be right back, thanks for taking the time to help!

yes, else nothing will be displayed. It’s not 100% clear on the doc and I’ve submitted a PR for it (4936)
It doesn’t look like it’s your issue for now (would defo have been in the future tho) as you have a different error message, hence the suggestion to try again from scratch

16

yea no luck i tried all of thise and same thing. I get that messege at the very bottom for a second. and I just noticed i could see that quick flash/redirect. it says “return to app”

I am going to start from scratch.

Bingo! Now make sure you’ve exposed your entities.
Which version of HA are you running?

20

65.5

Did you see anything wrong with the config I posted? Those entities work fine I use them all the time from dashboard or Alexa.

21

And once yours linked. Does it still show up under devices to link in the app? Sorry I’m new to android n ga

22

no I can’t see anything wrong, only that you need add a line for each entity with expose: true or they won’t show up

23

if unsure, try to comment out the line expose_by_default: false
That’s how I realised I was not exposing anything at all, even though I had entities listed under entity_config

24

hmmm yea I have that, i restart as well. as long as I put the expose: true in the right place. Do I need to add anything to customize?

25

nothing needed in customise. Since you’ve restarted, try to sync now, or unlink and link again. Should work

26

yea something not right. i think. even though I get that accounts linked screen I still get that message at the bottom after and I dont see any devices, or indication that it is actually linked. this is still see
