I wonder a bit what a working thermostat from Homey to Google has to do with the Homey smartphone app? I guess integration from within the Homey app only works for 2.3.0.

But indeed we should be waiting for the complete package before filing issues.  
Can’t blame us for being eager on the Google Home integration… 😄

Still the link is not entirely working. Devices of the same kind are only partly visible in Google Home.

I do hope the app version with new Google assistant capabilities had the possibility to choose which devices can be used in Homey. I only need a few from all of my devices to work in Google Home

What type of device type have you assigned in Homey? I had to change some of my devices yesterday, that was set to other in Homey. i think Homey need to add _Shutter_ as a device to make the link with google home.

Probably the reason for a 2.3.0 version of the app? 😇

OK, I linked my Homey to Google today and I just discovered a very freaky problem…

My TV was on (I use a Harmony, I’m guessing this is relevant to the problem) and it was set to a music channel (Q-music).  
I asked my Google Mini to turn on the light, it misunderstood and started jabbering about 20 locations closeby.  
I said ‘Hey Google, stop’ and the channel on my TV changed to the previously set channel (not a music channel)!  
When I said ‘Hey Google, stop’ again, nothing happened.  
I changed back to Q-music and said ‘Hey Google, stop’, and the channel changed again!

So Google is changing my channel when I tell it to stop, but only if my decoder is set to a music channel 🤔  
How the hell is that possible, it can’t possibly know the channels of my provider (Proximus) and surely shouldn’t change the channel when I say stop!?

Looks like the Homey 2.3 app update is out and now includes a ‘sync devices with google’ option under Google Assistent settings. Still missing blinds/shutter support.

Yes functionality is improved. Thermostats can now be adjusted (zwave spirit). What would be nice if you can adjust in the homey app what device should be added to Google Home. Now all device are added that can be added. So I have all the light double through the Hue link directly in google home and trough the homey link. Same for the thermostat from nest.

I added a Virtual Light that I can control trough the voice command of google home that will trigger a flow. Very nice 😊

After the Homey devices are paired in Google Home you can delete the ones you don’t want in the Google Home app itself. Look in settings, rooms/devices.  
I have Homey and Philips Hue, so a number of lights that apear twice in Goolgle Home, deleting is easy, but to see witch one to delete (the one controlled bij Homey or the one by Hue) you have to check each light for its controller.  
Would be more easy indeed if Homey had a setting to exclude devices you don’t want to be paired, just like in the Homeykit app.

Thanks - I’ll give it a go, how do we give feedback or is this thread enough for Athom? A checkbox under each devices advanced settings to make it “private” to Homey only would be useful.

Yes I have 3 of them. 2 for sunscreens. I use a virtual button to open them simultanuasly. Google does see this button so that’s an option.
