Hi all,
I recently got and setup a Google Home, and I’m very much enjoying the native integration with HA.
Controlling lights by voice is great is great.
I’ve been trying to research this for some time, but I’m trying to find a way to set the temperature controlled by a Generic Thermostat by using Google Assistant (via Google Home).
In an ideal situation:
Me: "Hey Google, set house temperature to 20 degrees"
Google: "Ok, setting house temperature to 20 degrees"
This could be via a switch, script or automation that would trigger a temp set, or via the Generic Thermostat itself.
It seems that there are a few hurdles here to overcome, if this isn’t been done before.
Make sure to refresh your config to Google Assistant (You may need to unlink it, and relink it), and check that “House Heating” is listed in the discovered devices.
Instructions from the Google Assistant page:
Open the Google Assistant app and go into Settings > Home Control
Click the + sign, and near the bottom, you should have [test] your app name.
After this I can now:
Me: "Hey Google, set the house heating to 21"
Google: "There you go, setting the house heating to 21 degrees"
Me: < hears boiler switch on >
Me(Optional): "Sweet, Thanks Google"
