{% linkable_title Configuration %}
To integrate Google Home Bluetooth tracker in Home Assistant, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: googlehome
host: IP_ADDRESS
{% configuration %} host: description: The IP address of the Google Home unit. required: true type: string rssi_threshold: description: The threshold for the RSSI signal of the device. required: false default: -70 type: integer {% endconfiguration %}
{% linkable_title Usage %}
Devices will appear in the format devicetracker.<home hub ip>_<device mac address>. Note that dots are removed from the IP and BT MAC addresses.
After running this component for a little while, you will likely see many devices appear. It's advisable to set the configuration to not discover new devices once the device you want to track have appeared (see device tracker configuration for details).
