Sruggling with Assistant Relay for Hassio

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I’m trying to set up Assistant Relay for Hassio to broadcast messages via my Google Home Minis without stopping any music that might be playing.

I can send messages from the sandbox in the add-on and it seems to work perfectly. However I can’t seem to send anything via the rest_command.assistant_broadcast service.

I’ve used the configuration.yaml and Lovelace card examples from https://github.com/Apipa169/Assistant-Relay-for-Hassio - the only change I’ve made is to substitute my IP address.

When I try to use it I get the following error on the Developer Log:

Error. Url: http://192.168.1.131:3000/assistant. Status code 500.

4:32 PM components/rest_command/__init__.py (WARNING) - message first occurred at 4:27 PM and shows up 2 times

The add-on log sows:

I’m on Home Assistant version 0.103.4

I’m really new to HA and would appreciate any help anyone can offer?

Thanks
Mark

I have had this error to, the solution is to not forget to put your username in the configuration: at the place: “user”:“username”, change username to the user you used for connecting to Google.

Awesome, that’s exactly what I was doing wrong!

Thank you for your help.

I’m trying to do the same thing, but I only receive an audio file in the sandbox. My Google Home’s aren’t making any sound. Any idea?

5

When you went through the setup process did you get a broadcast through your Google Home’s? I can’t remember exactly what it said but it was along the lines of Mark can now make broadcasts.

The first time I tried to set it up I didn’t get that because I’d missed a step on the setup- unfortunately I can’t remember which one and you can’t see the set up instructions when it is working. I removed the add-on and started again.

6

No I don’t get the broadcast message. I tried a few times but I never hear a thing…
Did the complete install steps again but no success. No errors in the log file

Sorry Sen, I’m really not sure it doesn’t sound like the same problem I experienced.

I´ve got the same problem
