any alternatives?

[sleek nebula]

ive made a custom led that wait for a push from umqtt. and ive added a script to push on and another to push off. it works. but now i want to make a voice command like: "hey google led on" and it will push a on to the led. but i dont want to pay for a noba casa because its just a test project

You can set up Google Assistant manually without NC-Cloud its just that NC-Cloud makes it a bunch easier. Details on how to do it manually are in the documentation. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/google_assistant/

[sleek nebula]

Its completely free?

[gloomy ermine]

Yeah, just takes a bit of setup.

[sleek nebula]

Alright. I will try to follow it. Tnx

[gloomy ermine]

No worries, Good luck.

[sleek nebula]

Sorry. I didnt know it was not allowed. Will not do in the future

[sleek nebula]

is my domain the home assistant domain?

with the ip? or just homeasistant.local:...

what to do? please help

[gloomy ermine]

I am not sure exactly how it works I haven't done it myself. perhaps start a thread in #1284966582375813201 about setting up it up.

[sleek nebula]

ok. so i think ive got it to work. i just dont have any devices. how would i add the led in the devices? or am i think of it wrong? is there a way to assign scripts to the automation? does it sync automations?

[gloomy ermine]

Looking at the documentation it looks like you have to select which devices you expose in your configuration.yaml file.

[sleek nebula]

ok, but is there a way to add a custom light that when turned on will run a script? that will sync

[gloomy ermine]

I think you can just expose the script entity?

[sleek nebula]

it does it for all by default. but i still dont see the script. maybe im looking in the wrong place. where would i see the script? im looking in the google home app. in the automations adding an action to an automation.

[gloomy ermine]

try saying "hey google activate YOUR-SCRIPT-NAME"

[sleek nebula]

it just says "sorry, i didnt understand"

[gloomy ermine]

Is your voice assistant using the same user as the one you added the devices with?

You could create a toggle helper and expose it as a switch then automate off that I guess. But there should be a way of making it so you can call the script directly.

[sleek nebula]

wdym added the device with? which device? it is connected to the accound in my google home app

[gloomy ermine]

A "google home" can apparently have multiple users associated with it which can cause issues.

[sleek nebula]

how do i change the action for turning it on?

[sleek nebula]

i only have one. i factory reseted. then connected it to my google home app

[gloomy ermine]

Create an automation that triggers on it turning on, which then runs your script then turns the toggle back off. then you can just call "switch on" to trigger your script.

[sleek nebula]

creating the automation in the app?

[gloomy ermine]

In home assistant

[sleek nebula]

just a sec

ok ive added one. that when the switch turns on. it should turn on the led. now i should sync?

[gloomy ermine]

create a toggle helper in HA which you expose as a switch
google assistant can now control the dummy switch
you make an automation in HA that when the helper switches on: it runs your script > then turns off the helper again

then in google assistant you call "switch on" and then helper gets switched on > triggers the automation > which runs the script > then switched off the helper.

[sleek nebula]

what do you mean expose as a switch?

[gloomy ermine]

I mean exactly that

[sleek nebula]

how do i expose something

in the configuration.yaml

?

[sleek nebula]

but it should automaticlly do that

[gloomy ermine]

Then maybe the helper will automatically be exposed?

[sleek nebula]

here?

[gloomy ermine]

That is for assist which is not what you are using.

I am basing everything I am saying off the documentation. I have never done this and don't use google home at all.

[sleek nebula]

i see

so what should i do?

[gloomy ermine]

I don't know. Do you understand the concept of the idea I have explained? You may have to fiddle with it to work out the implementation.

[sleek nebula]

i tried saying sync devices to the google home. then saying turn on LED LIGHT it says looks like the device hasnt been set yet

[gloomy ermine]

I do not have enough information to help at this point. You could probably try asking in #1284966582375813201 for help with the google assistant integration as I suggested before.

[sleek nebula]

i see. tnx for the help

any other suggestion that you may think would work?

its saying loading... a long time. maybe thats the issue

?

[gloomy ermine]

If a toggle isn't exposing correctly you could try adding a 2nd helper of type "change device type of a switch" and converting the toggle to a light which may work better for what you are trying to do?

[gloomy ermine]

No Worries, I took you as far as I can. Good Luck with it.

[sleek nebula]

hi, i did that. but the switch i added doesnt do the action

template:
- switch:
  - turn_on: 
      service: script.led_on_script
    turn_off: 
      service: script.led_off_script
    default_entity_id: switch.led
    name: LED light
    state: '{{ is_state(''input_boolean.bedroom'', ''on'') }}' 

i putt this in the configuration.yaml
but when i turn it on it doesnt run the script

if you know how to fix that. it will be very helpfull. tnx
