Google Home - Emulated Hue - Voice Control

Unfortunately with recent updates to Google Home app, emulated_hue no longer works !

Check the thread at Google Home Hue Setup Change?

To summarise the issue:

  • This is true for any new setups using Google Home app (on android or ios) + Google Home
  • Trying to add “Philips Hue” as a Home automation device in Google Home app will result in you being redirected to Philips Hue login page (see the above mentioned thread)
  • Local discovery of Hue hubs has been disabled in the app

I really hope someone can fix emulated_hue or come up with an alternative. Siri works perfectly with homebridge but really want Google assistant (on phone and Home)
