[Google Nest] Oauth_timeout

Third party integrations
1

Hi,

I’m new to home-assistant and installed HOAS in a VM on Truenas Scale. Everything is working fine so far but I’m running into an issue when trying to connect my Google Nest Doorbell through the Google Nest integration. I followed the following tutorial and watched the included video as well (Google Nest - Home Assistant).

I’ve gone through all the steps and everything seems to be created alright in the google Cloud services. When I add the Google Nest integration I add my Oauth Credentials, Cloud Project ID and Device Project ID. I get the redirect to the Google website to confirm access is allowed etc. and in the final step of the setup I have to click the “Link account to Home Assistant” button after which I get redirected to my Home-assistant installation. Here it starts loading, and then without error message just stops. I checked the DevTools network response and which tells me this:

{"type":"abort","flow_id":"XXXXXXX","handler":"nest","reason":"oauth2_timeout","description_placeholders":null}

When I check the Home Assistant logs I see this:

Logger: homeassistant.helpers.config_entry_oauth2_flow
Source: helpers/config_entry_oauth2_flow.py:319
First occurred: March 24, 2023 at 20:03:26 (9 occurrences)
Last logged: 18:02:38

Timeout resolving OAuth token:

I tried Googling the oauth2_timeout error but I can’t see to find a solution. I tried deleting all the Google Cloud stuff and remaking it, new oauth token etc. but the problem keeps persisting, the timeout problem might be due to a bad url or something but the only URL I had to set was in the Oauth credentials themselfs and I’ve check that like 10 times. I’m kinda at a loss.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi LaurensVE,

I’m running into this same problem, have now for several weeks, and I’m hoping you got it resolved. If so, can you let me know how?

Thanks.

I am seeing the exact same behavior and log entries. Everything goes smoothly until the HA account linking step, which spins for a while and then times out. The Nest integration never finishes loading.

FIXED FOR ME - I have been experiencing some connectivity issues lately with my home IoT devices. I am using a Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine SE as a router/gateway.

Turning off IGMP Snooping in the network settings might have just fixed this. It’s the only thing I’m aware of changing, and it has suddenly started working. Worth a try, if your networks have a similar setting to protect against IGMP floods.

I was having this issue, turned out to be ipv6. I disabled ipv6 on my router and that took care of it.

After a considerable number of hours invested in my Google task (Oauth) internation, I came across this thread.

I’m using HA with Hyper-v as virtualization layer. I tried to change the network settings, deactivated all kinds of layers and filter in the network switch etc. - no luck.

Last thing I tried, was to deactivate the IPv6 as @dclawso has suggested and that worked!!! (HA UI → Settings → Network IPv6 → Deactivate) It still wonders me, but I can reproduce that the OAuth Token will time out if I don’t have it deactivated.

I have the same problem, finally I find the problem is on the network, I set up a VPN in the router, then the HA system could visit google home, following the good nest instruction, then it succeed
