#Device entities for scripts not showing in Google home

I'm having this same issue. When I saw your message from almost a year ago, I got excited because I thought there may be a solution.
My understanding is that scripts exposed to Google Home would show up as scenes in the Automation tab. But I don't see them and I've been hunting around trying to find a way to expose them.
I want to trigger an automation in HA using a Hey Google voice starter. I thought I could expose a script to do that. If anyone has an idea to make this work, please reply.
@unreal cove I figured it out. The scenes in Google Home automations don't show up on the add action dialog when you're doing the initial setup. However, if you open the editor for an existing automation and tap Add action, then Adjust Home Devices and scroll all the way to the end, you may see a SCENES group with an Add scenes option. When I tap that, I can see the script that I exposed from Home Assistant. From there, I can add the scene execution to the automation.
Until I can afford to run an LLM at home, I'm going to have to stick with Google Home for voice control, unfortunately. I've tried using the Google Generative AI with faster-whisper and piper for TTS and STT. But the experience isn't great. With the ability to invoke scripts for specific "Hey Google" starters, I can keep all of the automation and most of the device configuration on the Home Assistant side. Maybe I'll win the lottery and be able to afford a decent GPU in 2026. 🤗
