Google Home: how to let him talk to Homey?

in Questions & Help
Does anyone has a clear step by step walk through how to connect a Google Home (mini) to homey?

I've searched the forum and based on that what I did so far (but no luck) was:
- set Homey to English 
- installed the Home Mini in my house wifi network etc. It listens to my commands.
- install Google home app on my android phone. 
- say "hey Google, let me talk to Homey".

It didnt work although according to this page it should have (https://www.athom.com/nl/ondersteuning/KB000048/) 
Searched quite a lot but did not find any good tutorial...

    yes sure. I believe Dutch language is still not possible. GH is answering fluently and doing what I tell him (Philips Hue, Spotify  Google calendar, all work splendid ..)

    Installing google assistant on our phones was a problem ( English UK is required and even a vpn connection could be required)    After the phone connection was enabled with google assistant we could use  commands like.
    OK google tell homey to switch on all lights.

    I believe installing assistant app was only needed for iPhones right ? I'm on android.

    No there is an extended google assistant needed on your android phone. I know this is confusing but the basic assistant is not enough. I do use android phones.

    That is really confusing indeed. Well, i seem to have progressed, after switching to EN-UK. See the screenshot. But when tapping on Link Homey to Google, it doesn't seem to do anything... After tapping, the phone screen becomes darkish for a second and then doesn't do anything more.

    Isn't the homey app already supposed to be integrated with the Google Home Assistant?
