How to set the mDNS IP for Google Assistant local fulfillment?

Configuration
1

I’m running Home Assistant in a Kubernetes cluster using the official Docker image. I want to avoid running it with host networking, so I’m running a mDNS on the node in reflector mode.

Now I’m trying to use the Google Assistant integration with local fulfilment. I followed the instructions, including the local fulfillment instructions, here: Google Assistant - Home Assistant

Using a mDNS discovery tool I can see a _home-assistant._tcp. entry, but the IP address is the internal Kubernetes IP, even though I’ve set an internal IP in the Home Assistant settings, which also shows up as “internal_url=http://my-local-ip:8123”.

I assume for local fulfillment to work, the actual IP address for _home-assistant._tcp. needs to be reachable by my Google Home devices? Is there any way to set the IP for this, similar to the advertise_ip option for other integrations?

I’m trying to figure out how to do this too. My “internal URL” for HA points to a plain text http proxy

Just sharing what I’ve tried over a month to finally get local fufilment working.

  • I’m running on HA yellow + cloudflare tunnel + NPM + non-nabu casa
  • Details in google project pretty much the same as in the google assistant instruction link
  • In home assistant i’ve set internal IP to http://:8123
  • Final thing that got my local fulfilment working was initiating a sync action from home assistant to google assistant

Hope this helps.
