yes they turning off homey voice by default, though u can still enable.

You supposed to rely on Google home, Echo etc for voice commands.

YET they expect you to say “ok Google, tell homey to…”

Clearly they didnt think this through properly.

I will not recommend Homey to anyone until this is fixed.

I will probably blog about it in Jan 2019

@Groundhog as @Dijker already posted :

> The direct integration with smart devices has been made some time ago, but Google suddenly requires us to ship them two Homeys with accessories, and add functionality (live reporting) completely which is, well, a lot harder. I am not pleased with this development and their lack of honest communication upfront.

Harmony? You mean homey? It’s already supported in Dutch for a week or so

Let’s wait for routines implemented in the Dutch language on Google Home.

It works when I ask ‘ok google, vraag aan homey om mijn lampen aan te zetten’. Works like charm.

Athom just releasewd an blog about google home and dutch support. However no news for us reading this communiy-forum…

> **[Homey receives Dutch language support for Google Assistant - Athom Blog](https://blog.athom.com/dutch-language-support-for-google-assistant/)**
>
> Homey now has Dutch language support for the Google Assistant. Google Home, recently launched in the Netherlands, can only connect to WiFi devices that are cloud-connected. With the Homey integration, nearly all devices can be controlled.

  
In short: an announcement that you need to say “OK Google, ask homey to” instead of run Homey flows without the use of “ask homey to”.

I think this is not the real google support this is just a work around.  
If was real support the google home app should look like this

I already have it running as it should be because i use domoticz in between homey and google.  
So i was hoping to stop domoticz and and use only homey but i need to wait a bit i guess

But if you do not have that this a great start

Hi all,  
I named my flow ‘TV kijken’ and I am hooked up with google home/assistant with Homey. So when I ask assistant 'ask homey to start the flow ‘TV kijken’ (all in Dutch), it won’t do anything.  
Can any of you help me out here?

Below see my flow and how google responds.
