#Google Assistant integration performance/latency

Why hello there,

any way to increase the stability/lower the latency of my google home integration?
My HA is directly connected to my router, my internet connection is stable and i use DuckDNS with a valid LE certificate.

Sometimes google assistant claims to have turned the light off, when it didn't. Sometimes it takes ages to actually happen.
Sometimes the devices from HA show offline in google home.
Any idea what the culprit could be?

Thank you!

I would say DNS. I moved from duckdns to a different dynamic DNS provider and since then it's been pretty stable

i use namecheap, but cloudflare should be good, too

Heard CF is amazing for api access to DNS and whatnot
(so i could get rid of duckdns and just use LE and nginx eh

summer isle
#

did u request API access? I read something about having to do that?

manic gate
#

it's just an URL request, my internet router does that

#

for the let's encrypt certificate you mean?

summer isle
#

oh i could do that as well
What about the cert tho

#

ya

manic gate
#

for the cert I use the lets encrypt addon

#

I was working on a generic dynamic DNS core integration that would also support namecheap, maybe I should finish that project 😂

Well, have to see when i find some motivation, the need for it seems to be there ^^

I wanted to use my own domain but i wasnt able to find out how to do the challenge for LE with namecheap

I use the http

I've redirected port 80 from my internet router to my home assistant instance, works great

wouldnt want http traffic to end up in any way on my box D:

I open the port in an automation only while lets encrypt addon is running and then close it
