Guess what? Yep, our Google Assistant Smart Home skill is live! It's a mouthful but it means that you can now control your Home Assistant devices via any Google Assistant enabled device by simply saying things like "Ok Google, turn on the lights".
|
|
|
|
To get started:
|
|
|
|
- [Enable Home Assistant Cloud](/cloud/#enabling-the-cloud)
|
|
- Install our skill for Google Assistant. As of this writing, the link is not live yet: you can find it by opening the Google Home app -> Home Control, tap on the blue + at the bottom right and find Hass.io in the list.
|
|
- Optional: [Tweak the devices](/cloud/google_assistant/) that are getting exposed to Google Assistant.
|
|
|
|
Things to note:
|
|
|
|
- The skill is called Hass.io, but will work with normal Home Assistant too. The name was necessary to avoid confusion between Home Assistant, Google Assistant and Google Home.
|
|
- Works with Home Assistant 0.65.6 or later.
|
|
- All message handling is done local and is [open source](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/integrations/google_assistant/trait.py).
|
|
- If you have an Android device with Google Assistant, you can control your devices too.
|
|
- Home Assistant 0.68 will introduce a button to the Cloud config panel to trigger a sync of available devices.
|
|

|
Home Assistant Cloud is still in open beta and free to use. Open beta period has been extended to June 1. Many thanks to [Quadflight] for providing the Raspberry Pis that Google used for physical testing and thanks to [Arsaboo] for helping with testing.
