easwaran83 · July 24, 2018, 6:48am

Hi, I am anewbie to HA
Based on the HA Documentation. I was successfully able to add my Xiaomi Air Purifier into HA UI

Also, I am able to Change the modes of the Xiaomi Air Purifier in HA UI using Inpuy Select & automation for each Input Select. (Working Great)

Question:

How do I control the Xiaomi Air Purifier Modes using Voice command thru google Home?
a. I am Able to Turn ON & OFF Xiaomi Air Purifier using the Phrase " Hey Google, Turn ON/OFF my Xiaomi Air Purifier"

But When i say “Hey Google, change mode to Auto/Faourite/Silent” Noting happens.

How do I control the Modes Xiaomi Air Purifier Modes using Voice command thru google Home?

Please help

Input_select is not a supported domain:

The way around this would be to create a set of input_boolean that you can turn on and off via GH. You’d then need an automation that turns off all other input_boolean when one is turned on

You can create a script and expose that script.
You can then configure the home so that when you say your keywords it is basically saying turn on script

I personally went the input_boolean way. You can check my config here:

github.com

lolouk44/homeassistant/blob/master/automation/Google Assistant.yaml

- alias: GA - Set GA Volume To Low At Night
  initial_state: true
  trigger:
    platform: time_pattern
    hours: 20
    minutes: 30
    seconds: 0
  action:
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.living_room_google_mini
      volume_level: 0.50
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.kitchen_google_mini
      volume_level: 0.50
  - service: media_player.volume_set
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.google_home_minis
      volume_level: 0.50

The Google assistant link above says you can expose scrips.
You can then say ‘hey Google, turn on (script*friendly name here)’

You can then set a shortcut in Google home to replace that saying with something like ‘Hey Google, change mode to Auto’

The input boolean way is an extra middle step

Hi, sorry, I’m new to this, I though this was a forum for the Google Home app, so no, I’m not using HA, I just notice this is an entirely different app, so, if I use HA I will be able to connect Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier Pro to Google Home? Thanks again!
