Hello,
I am new here, and I would like to know how I can launch a flow with Google Home, like :
Ok Google, active "name of the flow ";
Thank you
Michael
This can be done using the following method:

It’s a bit of a work around. You can’t directly start flow but you can by turning a virtual device on.

This is possible.
I have this flow;
https://homey.app/f/A7Y7zY
And if I say: ok google ask Homey Ria is wakker, my flow starts.
I have a google mini in my bedroom, and a google hub in the living room.

Thank you for your help.
I have created a virtual button. It works with google home, thank you.
You can also use iftttđź‘Ť
Does the virtual device show up in Google Home immediately?
Yes/No best if you change something on any of your connected Google devices to do this
Say “Ok Google” then “Sync all devices” then Google should respond with Okej synchronizing all devices from manufactur X

I did it this way: make the flow you want to be activated and add the flow as a favorite in homey. Ask google to sync devices and make a routine in google assistant when you say something then the action should be: activate flow name of the flow.
It works great!
You can start favorite flows in Homey 2023 Pro using Google Home, but only I can do it — other people in my house can’t. What am I doing wrong?And I don’t want to use virtual devices because it gets too messy.Who can help me?
You mean these voice commands?
- Hey Google, start my flow name
- Hey Google, activate flow name
No, I mean this — see the photo. For me, this does show up, but for the other Homey users it doesn’t. I must be doing something wrong. Do I need to share my home in Google Home, or does everyone need to create their own home in Google Home? I don’t know.
I see!
As far as I know you’ll have to share your Google Home with the other Homey users first.
Am I the only one with this problem, or are there others experiencing the same issue? Or am I on the wrong forum? There are so few responses
