offtopic, but do you always need to re-enable the test/simulator on google console cloud when using the dialogflow? seems the “test” app is disabled always after 30 days …
this happened to me also when i was using google assistant in HA, thats why i swithed to nabucasa 
@iczster I couldn’t tell you, it all depends on how much work you are willing to put into it.
@pergola.fabio I actually haven’t noticed, but I only use dialogflow when I need to test it, otherwise I use IFTTT as it seems to be the best solution. It’s a shame they haven’t expanded the languages for it though.
Thanks for the help @mayker its really appreciated. Ive literally spent hours on this and really no clue why cast devices arent showing. I’ll probably just leave it now. Frustrating thing is this was all working like a dream for weeks.
Would you mind sharing the results from http://192.168.0.205:32400/clients?X-Plex-Token=MYTOKEN out of curiosity?
Sure mate. Same output from local host and after ssh to docker container.
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<MediaContainer size="1">
<Server name="Office" host="192.168.0.248" address="192.168.0.248" port="32500" machineIdentifier="45F07ED8-8900-45D0-81DF-B17090B08B6A" version="7.1.1" protocol="plex" product="Plex for Apple TV" deviceClass="stb"protocolVersion="2" protocolCapabilities="playback,playqueues,timeline,provider-playback"/>
</MediaContainer>
I would think that this would be sufficient at least for the Office device and if your TV shows up in there when opened with the name of TV QE49Q7FAM the aliases below should work as well. As for the Laptop alias I would use that same URL to find its machineIdentifier and use that for the alias.
plex_assistant:
url: 'http://192.168.0.205:32400'
token: 'REDACTED'
default_cast: Office
tts_errors: true
aliases:
TV: TV QE49Q7FAM
Laptop: LAPTOPSmachineIdentifier
This all assumes of course that the sensor is just having issues finding your devices for some reason. Disable the sensor and give the above config a go, if you’re still not having luck I would try the same config above (without machineIdentifier as that was just recently added) and downgrade Plex Assistant by one or two versions.
Thanks @mayker
Same error:

Same with the TV alias. Im going to try with version 1.4 and work upwards. Honestly some things really do drive you mad 
@mayker Progress but no idea why 
Version 1.4 is working mate so for some reason I have no clue about, it breaks for me in a later version 
Legend. Thanks for all the help but not sure where it leaves me now with regards upgrades.
Well that at least offers some clue. Will look into it and let you know.
Really appreciated pal. Im happy to test other versions but for now 1.4 is working.
I keep getting device not found but the sensor shows it there, any thoughts?

Any ideas mate?
Fixed my own problem. Another weird one 
There must have been some recent changes in HA or Plex. Im running HA in docker. To resolve the issue I had to add the broadcast address of my container in the network configuration in Plex to allow without auth.
All works again now.
Hi, I’m having an issue - I have been successful in configuring plex assistant, but when I ask it to play anything, it starts the first video in my library for only a second, and then stops playback and shows a gray screen.
For example using the service tool, ‘command: play underwater on living room tv’ starts Plex on Living Room TV but it starts playing the first episode of Ozark (the first thing in my library), then abruptly stops. Any ideas?
Following is my configuration.yaml:
# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:
# Text to speech
tts:
- platform: google_translate
group: !include groups.yaml
#automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml
plex_assistant:
url: 'http://192.168.86.2:32400'

tts_errors: true
default_cast: 'Living Room TV'

value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.service == 'plex_assistant.command' }}"
action:
- data_template:
command: "{{ trigger.event.data.command }}"
service_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.service }}'
I’m hitting my head against a wall trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. I keep getting an invalid config error for plex_assistant but my config seems to be correct. If I look in the command prompt I see it says plex_assistant is taking longer than 10 seconds and then it just errors out. Any thoughts?
This is my config:
# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:
# Text to speech

- platform: google_translate
group: !include groups.yaml
#automation: !include automations.yaml

wish there was a Kodi analog to this.
That aside this is pretty nice I used to use the IFTTT webhook for making calls to VoxCommando to do the same with Kodi.
May have to try this out this seems to have some of the richer commands set available.
Music would be nice. Since there is no native Plex integration, I got a lot of Google Home devices in the firesale few weeks back. My kids love music but I dont subscribe to of the available premium services so when they want a specific song request doesnt work. This could help w/ that if able to call on non video chromecast enabled devices.
