OK. So, it already was working, but it stopped amd now you’re trying to add Homey to GH again? Sometimes you just have to wait for several hours and try again. BUT, searching for the error msg > [@handras](#): > > The parameter “state” must be set in the query string. I found this similar issue and possible fix below. 1. Open up Google Home Account linked page (a.k.a. “works with Google’” and un-link Homey 2. Reboot Homey (unplug it for a few minutes) 3. Reboot phone 4. Now you can start adding Homey to GH again. > **[Google Home Integration throws error: the parameter "state" must be set](https://community.hubitat.com/t/google-home-integration-throws-error-the-parameter-state-must-be-set/98346/3)** > > Thanks for the quick reply, I kind of thought that as well, so prior to opening the thread I removed all the items from Hubitat, and attempted again to re-link the account and it still failed.

Thanks Peter! In the meantime, I found out the reason for the error: Unfortunately, my English is poor, so the automatic translation was turned on on the web pages. This caused confusion. The connection works when set to English. ---

Ah, it’s always better to find out yourself 😉 Automation can be a blessing and a pain, like auto-translate is 😁
