As an alternative consider using ha-google-home instead.
ha-google-home has a cleaner codebase and is build by a set of talented developers.
Despite being a rather new project, it has gained a lot of traction very quickly, providing a more polished experience.
It is currently lacking a bluetooth scanner feature, but that is being worked on and the one included in this repository has major issues anyway.
This code will likely remain working in the forseeable future. If you insist on using it until feature parity has been established, I am happy to merge any fixes, but want to encourage you to drive ha-google-home forward instead.
Google Home Integration for Home-Assistant
Fork of the original component before the deprecation with a workaround.
This is a custom component that allows tracking alarms/timers of google/nest home devices and/or use their buildin bluetooth chips for presence detection.
Warning: Version 0.4 changed the way the alarm/timer sensors work, you will need to adjust your automations accordingly.
- Setup this repository as a custom repository in HACS.
- Search under Integrations for "Googlehome" and hit install.
- Restart HA
- Go to Integrations and setup the Googlehome integration. You will need to # with a google account linked to your google home devices.
- (Alternatively setup the integration via a google master token, see #14)
- Enable the features you want to use in the Integrations tab.
- When bluetooth monitoring is enabled devices will popup as device_tracker entries. You can use
ghname
to match which google home device discovered your bluetooth device andrssi
to track the distance. - When monitoring alarms/timers is enabled two sensors will be added to your home-assistant instance per google home device. The
pending
attribute contains a sorted list of pending alarms/timers for more advanced automations using templates. - The state alternates between
none
(if none are set),waiting
(if any alarms/timers are set) andringing
.
For a quick automation when an alarm is dismissed (and no new / snooze alarm has been set) you may use an automation like:
alias: Alarm
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.schlafzimmer_alarm
from: ringing
to: none
condition: []
action:
- service: scene.turn_on
data: {}
entity_id: scene.test
mode: single
