Google Wifi sensors stopped working

Configuration
1

I can’t put my finger on a version update or anything else which might have triggered it, but the Google Wifi sensor platform has stopped working on my Hass.io system.

Sensor badges report “unavailable”, and the log repeatedly shows:

Unable to fetch data from Google Wifi
6:05 PM components/sensor/google_wifi.py (WARNING)

It had been working properly until recently.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Bump. Same. No solution?

Not really. Mine magically started working a few days after I posted. It’s been solid since. I can’t put my finger on any possible reason.

I am getting unable to fetch data in the log for Google Wifi. Is it still working for someone else? Any idea why it stopped in my case if so?

I’ve found that the Google WiFi integration was much more reliable once you specified the primary router’s host IP address in the config. Even though it is optional it used to randomly stop working until I added it, since then it has remained connected.

sensor:
  - platform: google_wifi
    host: <router IP address>

Worked for me too, thanks a lot for this!

Should be marked as the solution in my opinion.

Where can I find this? It’s not in my configuration.yaml. I am using the HACS Google WiFi integration. I looked in the custom_components folder. The folder within is called “googlewifi” but I don’t think it’s configured in there.

You should be able to add it to your main configuration.yaml in the “sensor” section.

Thanks for the tip.
I turns out there is some loading error. I posted details here

Is this the WAN IP or the LAN IP?
