Google home integration - HA status not updating google

Third party integrations
1

Hi all-

I just set up google home integration following:

it works and i am able to expose entities to google home and turning on/off via google works. refreshing devices works.

BUT… if i turn on an entity in HA the status does not get updated in google home. I cant seem to find anything on this and i do not this this is expected behavior. The alexa integration updates just fine.

I want to use this integration to subscribe google to a few of my HA entities so i can run some simple automations in google home that i otherwise dont have control over (camera on/off - presence).

is there something specific to get HA to send updates to Google Home? I cangt even find any logs to check. Thanks!

Some entities work better than others.
What integration is an issue, for instance? light, cover, etc

thanks

tried both light and input_boolean. neither seem to update in google when changed in HA.

It works better with nabucasa, but if you tell the google to sync devices, that might help.
I have one instance tied to nabu and one not, the not one the sync has to be done on the google website manually. a real pain.
once properly synced, they should update quickly on every change.

thanks - yeah dont want to do nabucasa if i can help it - going to dig a bit more - i feel the issue has to do with homegraph api. when i change an identity in HA i see this is the debug logs which tells me it does tell google right? gonna dig into the cloud console.

i think im just impatient - the delay of updating google from HA seems to vary and take quite some time – fine for my use. nevermind!
