I previously configured Google Assistant to use a developer project to expose my garage door opener from home assistant. I added an August lock, which appears in HA, so I added that:
I synced my project, but the front door lock didn’t appear in GA. So I unlinked and linked it again and it still doesn’t appear. I even changed expose by default to true, and that still doesn’t work. What can I do to get the lock to appear on GA?
Thats because locks are not available for google assistant. Pulled this info from the docs:
AVAILABLE DOMAINS
Currently, the following domains are available to be used with Google Assistant, listed with their default types:
group (on/off)
input boolean (on/off)
scene (on)
script (on)
switch (on/off)
fan (on/off)
light (on/off/brightness/rgb color/color temp)
cover (on/off/set position (via set brightness))
media_player (on/off/set volume (via set brightness))
climate (temperature setting)
Yeah, I think lock is a new domain. Might take some time before it makes its way through all the components. Also, google needs to understand locks on it’s end too. I assume it would.
Weird. In addition to setting temperature, I can also access mode for my broadlink climate component through GA. So works for telling google to “set thermostat to cool/heat/off.” How is that possible?
There are 2 versions of google assistant. The cloud version and the non-cloud version. Both have different functionalities.
EDIT: It’s also possible that one or both of these systems has been updated since this thread was made.
EDIT2: It looks like the 2 components were married together and now there is only 1? Not sure, I don’t use cloud. Either way, I can no longer find the documentation for the cloud version of google assistant. It now points to the normal google assistant documentation.
Don’t prefer to use routines… But I tried those xxx lock/unlock commands, they just guide me to Google web results… Allthough I see the device visible in my Google home hub devices, and also on home app om android, I can lock / unlock from there … Don’t understand
