I signed up for Home Assistant Cloud today and am trying to set up Google Assistant integration (I'm migrating from a manual setup). When I attempt to link the "Home Assistant Cloud by Nabu Casa" integration in the Google Home app, I get the error Could not reach Home Assistant Cloud by Nabu Casa. Please .... I've searched the forums and attempted the suggested fixes, but have had no success so far. What I've attempted so far:

  • Removed all custom configuration for the HTTP integration (particularly SSL, per Home Assistant Cloud > Google Assistant > Local communication)
  • Removed existing Google Assistant SDK integration
  • Removed existing google_assistant configuration from configuration.yaml
  • Set up Home Assistant Cloud ("Cloud connection status: Connected")
    • Remote access is enabled
  • System settings > Network:
    • IPv6 is disabled on both interfaces (END0 and WLAN0)
    • "Home Assistant URL" is set to "Use Home Assistant Cloud"
  • "Settings > Voice assistant":
  • Fully power cycled the Home Assistant Yellow device
    I can access the home assistant instance through both the cloud domain (https://***.ui.nabu.casa) and the custom domain alias. But only via https. http requests time out (I assume this is expected?)

It didn't occur to me to just attempt the linking on a different device. I tried it on my iphone instead of my android tablet and:

  • the old [test] Home Assistant integration showed up as linked (it didn't show up on the android app). I unlinked it
  • adding the Home Assistant Cloud by Nabu Casa integration completed successfully this time
    I'm not sure which combination of changes made things work:
  • unlinking the old manual Home Assistant integration
  • executing this from my phone service rather than my local wifi
  • android vs ios version of the Google Home app
    But in any case things seem to be good now
