Juan, I'd like to thank you for this well-described video and step-by-step walkthrough. I struggled to get Google Home integrated for a while now, but everything needs time :-) ...it's also part of the learning curve. However your videos helped me a lot so far. Keep up doing these videos on Home Assistant topic!!!

This was PERFECT! I tried to install it with the other guides on the Internet and had issues. This worked first time. Thanks

Finally instructions that are clear (and work). The remote access video was also very clear and I was able to integrate GA with HA and cancelled my Nabu Casa subscription. Tried many approaches and failed to get it all working. Now it does THX!

Dude, your instructions were PERFECT. I'm amazed by how well this thing works! Thank you so much!

Brilliant video - I've watched quite a few from you and have now subscribed. Thanks for producing well documented content.

Amazing tutorial, as always. Very well paced and got every step in the video I could follow along exactly. Thank you!

This took me days to figure out last time. Up and running again in 20 minutes flat! Thank you for the very helpful video!

Great video, excellent content, very clear and good pace without any fluff. One comment that others have stated is that PORT (Port 443 in your video) may be dependent for each user. In my case I am not using 443 which caused a bit of confusion and lost time. Once I modified the port numbers to match the ports I have exposed this worked. Thank you Juan!

Thank you! HA documentation is outdated, only you were able to save me! Definitely buying you a coffee.

This is an amazing video tutorial. Followed exactly as mentioned and now my thermostat is in Google home. Subscribed! Thank you!

Juan, this is exactly the video I need right now! Will be watching later!

It finally works! After 3 nights and many videos, this one was finally covering everything!!!

I woke up this morning and I thought: "what do I miss for my HA today? I miss Google Assistant integration!" And two hours later I got an alert on my phone that Juan added a new video. And that was on Google Assistant integration. I'm terrified! Google and Juan read my mind already! Thanks, Juan for the video - but you already know it - you read my mind :)

but why do you need Google assistant when you have Home assistant?

You're a legend. This was a great video that worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

The only workign guide, you have just earned my subcription

Quality video form Juan as always, thank you!

Thanks for the hint with VSCode - I found out that they have remote SSH plugin that allows to edit home-assistant on remote device. Works like a charm!

Glad I stumbled across this its not exactly straight forward to integrate Google Assistant with Home Assistant and your tutorial was excellent and helped me to achieve this, thank you

Thank you. I finally managed to integate Google Assistant due to your video!

I am bit confused and thinking to buy Mibao, Kamep, GEREE cctv camera from Amazon and to connect it with SmartLife app, because I have a door sensor installed on SmartLife app. It will be hand to have everything in one app. Will this work?

another great video Juan!, thanks!

Grande!!!! 😀 Guida dettagliatissima, facile anche per un inesperto come me. Grazie!!!!! 😀

Thanks Juan, worked like a charm!

I knew by delaying the creation of integration between the HA and GA, I am gonna make the process much easier. There we go ..... Jokes aside thanks Juan, very informative and to the point, as always ;-)

Amazing video. Works pretty well. Thanks

Thanks a million, I was going crazy trying to set up this HA configuration

Wow! Im gonna try this later, very nice video!!

ur videos are always awesome!

I had problems getting this to work but I was able to fix it. A couple of tips for those who may run into the same problem: 1) Make sure you are copying the "Private KEY" and not the Private ID. 2 )For the port that you put into the URL: while 443 is the default port for SSL, in some cases (like mine) your Home Assistant will not be running on port 443 but the default 8123 (or whatever port you forwarded it to on your firewall). Make sure that the port you provide in the URL during set up reflects this or it will not be able to connect to your local instance over the internet.

Awesome video! Thanks!

You are the best. Everything is working fine after your detailed video. Thank you so much.

Very nice tutorial. thank you very much!

It totally worked for me. I am blissful, joyful with that. It's incredible your research and explanation. Thanky you. Tip for another users: type carefully and look to your right configuration.

Very good tutorial! Thanks a lot.

This worked great Juan. Thank you very much! Subscribing :-)

This helped me a lot and worked for me !

Very nice tutorial! Thanks to you I can automatically cast HA to my Nest Hub :)

Hey Juan, thanks for this video ...seriously AWESOME.

Hey Juan, not sure if you've noticed but the recent update to Home Assistant (2021.7) has broken this integration. I get all the way through the process but when I go to Google home and add device, it goes to the duckdns server and times out. it won't bring up the HA page like ti does on this video. I've tried "Check for new devices" on the integration that worked previously and it timed out .. also tried doing it over from the beginning and it does the same. Have you noticed this on yours too? Any chance you could have a look and see why this isn't working now?

Thank you so much. You save my life!

Double thumbs up. Thank you

This is very helpful thank you very much

That was more easy than I expected! Maybe important to notice that the 443 port is the port that you exposed your HA installation for external access.

This may be an important point for a lot of people! It wasn't working for me, and I was wondering about whether 443 was correct, so I watched the video again and he explicitly stated that the port should be set to 443 (which was not how I set up my remote access). After seeing this comment, I switched to the port I used, and it started working. Thanks for sharing this comment!

Good man thanks for the video. !!!

Perfect Thankyou!

Can confirm this still works perfectly. The process to download the JSON is slightly different but self explanatory, you need to first edit keys and click create a new key. The process and created file is otherwise identical.

Thanks Juan. 👍

Thanks so much... finally it's work in my Hassio :-)

Thank you very much, Juan! Not 1, but 2 big thumbs up from me! And also a (probably stupid) question: Do I have to reenable Actions on Google Test environment every month, or just once?

Great video!! Subscribed. Are you gonna do a video for Alexa (without subscription) as well? Thanks!

Hi Juan! As always an amazing tutorial! My one question is, after we add all the devices in G-Home, will my family members be able control them with voice or only me?

It is working. Thank you so much ❤ Now i can control my Tasmota devices with my Google Nest Mini. No more China clouds 😂

thank you so much for this. the regular home assistant documentation is consistently terrible and of course does not work. this did.

thanks u

Love this video and already doing it that way. Wanted to know how I would go by switching to the cloudfare tunnels with this setup ? What and where would I habe to change in the Google actions portion for it to work ?

Tip for your project-ID (2:30 minute). You can also find your Project-ID in the webbrowser-URL, just next to /project. That way you won't have to leave the previous page. (Account linking)

Great video as always. However I run into authorization issues when I use the project ID in "Client ID issued by your Actions to Google". My issue was solved by using the project name instead of ID. Works like a charm now. No idea why I need to add the project name instead of Project ID.

TOP, I found my solution ... All I had to do was redirect port 443 for Home Assistant on my box. Thank you and long live your channel ...

Great video! Followed it exactly and works great! However, I noticed that not all my sensors are sent to GA, despite me specifically allowing "sensors" or the the actual sensor name with in entity config. What gives? Do I have to set up the sensor properly in HA? For the specific sensor I'm not seeing if from an MQTT broker. HA sees and logs the sensor no problem, but GA cannot see it.

Thank you for the video, Juan. What if you already have a bunch of devices under Google Home Assistant? Do they get synced to HA?

invaluable guide on how to link with Google Home. This is simply unachievable using the Home Assistant doco... much is left out, perhaps on purpose.

On a separate note, is it possible to add a Smarthub mini Into home assistant? I would like better control of my IR devices (TV, air conditioner, etc)and smatbots.

Great tutorial. I'm wondering if there is a way to add my wife to the (test) project so that she can have it one her phone?

i seem to be having issues when it comes to getting the Home Assistant login screen on my device. i am behind a double NAT and i dont know where to go from here. currently using pfsense as router/firewall. can you help? awesome video if i may say.. have a new subscriber....

If you already had all your devices in Google home, and were thinking of jumping into HA because you really want the automations, would you still need to do all this? Wouldn’t Google already have the linkages to all your devices and continue to function as it were? Is there any issue with setting up HA for the first time if you already have everything in Google home? Can they merely coexist or is that crossing the streams somehow?

Great video, thanks. The instructions for the JSON file may have changed or yours is just a different way of doing it. I copied the JSON file into my config folder and then had the entry: service_account: !include my_downloaded_JSON_filename.json Having done all this, I'm still a bit confused: 1) I haven't put any includes or excludes in my config, but only a subset of entities I've exposed are showing up in the Home app and I don't know why. 2) Although I'm reporting state changes, I cannot see what I can do with them in the Home app. eg. I have a binary_sensor.GDIsOpen; it's a reed switch that closes when the garage door is open. The Home app can see it, and I want my Google Home to say "The Garage door has been opened", but I don't know how. (I've done it in Alexa although it doesn't work! But that's another story). 3) Also, I would like to be able to ask google if the garage door is open, but I don't seem to be able to (is it just I'm not getting the phrasing right). I can ask it what the temperature in the garage is and that works (I have a temp sensor being reported). 4) Do I need to go into the google account every 30 days to keep this all working? That's probably enough for now. Thanks again.

Great tutorial. I am also using duck dns for my ssl certificates. I am comfused. Which url should i provide? I thought that i had to put my public ip and then judt forward the port to my home assistant server. You however just put the domain name. What should i do? A should I change something in my router settings?

Everything in the video worked until I started getting errors when editing the config file. I switched to Everything Smart Home's video for the HA editing and it worked. I am running HA in Virtual Box at the moment so maybe that had something to with it.

@JuanMTech Hi Juan. I followed everything you said and did in the video. However, once I got to the Google Home app. I located the new device but HA would not open saying the connection is not secure. Now what do I do to either get passed this or correct this error message? Thanks

Under fulfillment which dns should i use? Is it the home assistant dns?

I managed to do all that, and my devices are working, including voice commands with GA (Google Assistant), but I have a problem. Inside GA actions page, when I select add action and choose something like "set or adjust devices of my home" I go to a blank screen, no devices listed. In the end I only can adjust my devices via personalized action commands (by typing a sentence) not by using the set devices of my home option. I tried to fill action directory information, and a buch of other options but still no luck. I guess I should stick with scripts of HASS? I am little lost here. The issue by doing by typing a sentence I have more limited control of the devices, like a light color, can't be too specific, like using the color wheel.

I lost you on "Enter your URL". What URL. Do you mean, I have to register DNS name and have static IP for my Internet provider?

What in case of CGNAT?

Love the vid. I've been struggling trying to set up scenes or automations via voice control for things like "movie time". However, scenes do not seem to synchronize in the Google Home app, or at least do not respond to the scene name. Anyone that has found a solution to this?

@JuanMTech

Scenes or scripts you would need to say activate and then the name of the scene. You can add an aliases with an easier name so you can run the command with your voice.

Can you cast messages from Home Assistant to be played in your Google Nest devices?

When i try to add the intergration in Google home app i got the message after i login to Home Assistant: "couldn't update the setting, Check your connection" please an solution, because this is an awesome feature!

I'm curious, if I have a matter device added to Home Assistant, will it also be visible and controllable in google home if I scan the QR code? in other words can I view and control a matter device from both HA and Google Nest/Home interchangeably?

Is it possible to do the other way around? Controlling Google home devices with home assistant?

Is this work in CGNAT condition?

As per the Google integration in Home Assistant, it says IoT class is Cloud Push. So HA pushes the updated values to Google Assistant whenever there is a change to the value provided your internet is working as iit does this via the cloud.
