No connection in Google home

Configuration
1

I have setup a Nodemcu with Esphome to control a RGB ledstrip. This works perectly, an I can control the strip nicely with HA.

I have also an integration with Google home. The ledstrip is found and added in the Assistant configuration. When I toggle the switch, I get errors like “could not connect to ledstrip” or “ledstrip doesn’t respond”.

Where do I start debugging? Does this have something to do with MQTT in Google Assistant?

Nothing to do with MQTT - my sonoff switches all work. (With Google Home) Maybe share your Google config? I assume you’ve done the manual configuration for the Google integration?

Thank you or the reply!

I did indeed the manual config, and I only configured the project_id and api_key in the google_assistant section of configuration.yaml

I reread the docs and enhanced my configration. It now loos like:

google_assistant:
  project_id: my_id
  api_key: my_api_key
  expose_by_default: true
  exposed_domains:
    - switch
    - light
    - group
  entity_config:
    light.ledstrip:
      name: ledstrip
      expose: true
      room: myroom

The error is still the same (I did restart HA)
