It’s possible this is a Google problem and not a HA one given that even when linking the Hue app directly to Google Home, the scenes aren’t included, just the basic lights. I see the same when linking with the Home Assistant Cloud. Lights but no scenes. Does this work for anyone else or are scenes just not exposed?
I’ve just read an oldish thread that says the exposed scenes can only be used as part of a Google automation, rather than appearing as activator tiles
I finally worked it out. It seems scenes no longer show in Google Home on the main list (I’m SURE they did before). They were actually there all along though, I can only see them when I create an automation in Home. I gave them an alias in HA and can now call them via Google Assistant.
Are they appearing on the Google Home dashboard after providing an alias, or only activated by voice?
No, the only time they’re ever visible is during Automation creation.
Thanks for the info. In the end I decided to make a toggle switch in HA to activate each scene and exposed those to Google.
