    Is a physical Google Home devices required for this integration? Or is it possible to link Homey to the virtual assistant on a Google Pixel?
    @EvertorN, you don't need a physical GH, Google assistant on any phone with English settings should work.
    In fact so far I've found the physical GH refuses to acknowledge the Homey at all, while the Assistant on my S7 Edge will talk to Homey if I've got the language set to American English.

    Perhaps I need to change the language on my physical GH as well?

    Do you have multiple accounts?
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    In iOS I need to set the region to us as well.
  • Jeroenski74Jeroenski74 Member
    Removed all languages on my phone. Installed English (US) again. Rebooted my GH via Google Home but still unable to link with Harmony

    @Jeroenski74 Any hints on where to look though? I cannot find the assistant settings in my Google Home app, because I don't have a google home :). (I do have a Pixel)

    EDIT: Found. It's as simple as setting the phone to US English, open the assistant and type 'talk to homey'
  • Jeroenski74Jeroenski74 Member
    Ok I had added the service via settings->assistant apps but could only do it after setting the language to US
  • Jeroenski74Jeroenski74 Member
    @EventorN good it worked out eventually!

    I do have multiple accounts, but only one on the physical GH and I'm using the same account with my phone assistant.

    Phone assistant is 50% accurate in talking to homey or trying to find me a homie. Unless I type the commands, but that misses the point. I'll keep experimenting... but I still can't get the physical assistant to recognise that I'm speaking to homey.

    I do find that so far the abilities of the physical GH and the phone GH are quite different- ability to create appointments, call contacts etc...
  • Jeroenski74Jeroenski74 Member
    @awils have you tried shortcuts in Google Home? If I want to turn off the TV I say:

    Ok Google turn off the TV. This will sent 'Ok Homey, turn off the Telly' since I'm using a Harmony to control the TV and don't want to use the internal flow.
  • awilsawils Member
    Now you see, it's information like that that makes my day... I'm off to play with some shortcuts now! Thanks for the heads up.

    Mind you it'll only work if I can get my physical GH to talk to homey at all...  ;)

  • Jeroenski74Jeroenski74 Member
    @awils, if you have connected Google Home to the same account (Google Home on your phone->More settings->account) as the one that is working on your phone: check via home button long press, then icon on the upperright corner->dots->accounts. And Language is English (UK or US) it should work, can you show some screenshots?
  • awilsawils Member
    Yeh, the problem turned out to be my physical GH needed the language changed as well. Which is a shame because I far prefer her voice as British not American but I'll take it. The shortcut is working nicely- there's a few second delay but I'm not sure what more could be done about that. Thanks for that tip!

    One question though- If I say 'kitchen lights'... it turns my zwave lights on- great. But then GH says 'sure, let's get homey' and homey says 'I'm sorry I have no feedback on that' (even though the lights are already on). Is there any way to remove this feedback loop? I'm just happy that the lights are toggling, I don't need homey to tell me he didn't get it every time...
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    Are you triggering a flow through GH to Homey? If so, you can add a response to the flow. GH will reply with that response.
  • awilsawils Member
    Ah a blank feedback in the flow- briliant, thanks.
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    Shortcuts could improve big time if it was possible to combine two / three instructions.
  • JerryvdvJerryvdv Member
    @hnijveen
    Did you get the google home app on iOS from the US store or local app store?
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    Local, but do set Language & region to US (my pref) or UK
  • JerryvdvJerryvdv Member
    Ok, thanks!
  • NicmanNicman Member

    Hi and first of all thank you, but I still have a problem, I can´t find:
    Assistant Apps, at least not homey....

    Is Homey supposed to be among other apps as Hue, nest and others? 

    Or is it so that Homey app isn´t available in Sweden?

    Regards
    Nick
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    No, change location / region to US (or UK, maybe some other). The check & search for the app.
  • NicmanNicman Member
    Hi!

    I have changed location on the unit to UK, doesn't´t work. The strange thing is that I don´t have this in the app:
    1. Under "Services," tap Assistant apps .   I have not the "assistant apps".
  • JesperJesper Member
    This is how it looks like in my Google Home app. I have my phone set to US.
  • NicmanNicman Member
    Strange... I don´t have the assistant apps.
    Are you in EU? and only change location settings in your phone?

    Regards
    N

  • NicmanNicman Member
    Next problem, how in the he..... can I change location on the and/or phone...
    Regards
    Nick
  • JesperJesper Member
    I'm from the Netherlands. Settings for changing your phone to US can be found here:



  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    If it still doesn't work, do a frs (15s button hold) of the GH after you did set the preferred settings on your phone.
  • NicmanNicman Member
    Hi! I will try this tonight
    Regards
    N
  • NicmanNicman Member
