Homey can now be connected to Google Home ([see forum post](https://community.homey.app/t/google-home-discussion-topic/2884/418)) and/or Google Home Hub:

For native Homey switches etc. and “Virtual Devices”-switches this works.  
But a “Virtual Devices”-thermostate cannot be controlled from Google Home.  
The device is correctly recognized as a thermostate, but the controls (+ and -) are grayed out.

Any ideas?

EDIT!!  
Looks like the native thermostates are also not working yet:

So probably not directly related to this app.
