home-assistant-google-assistant- VS architecture

It’s implemented but it still requires an official Google Assistant smart home skill and a cloud connection to set-up. It works out of the box with Home Assistant Cloud.

It’s kinda cool how it works, as your Google Home Mini will run our JS app and let it interact with Home Assistant. In the case of Home Assistant Cloud, all commands are just forwarded as-is as all processing is always local. You can see the source here https://github.com/NabuCasa/home-assistant-google-assistant-...

Note, syncing local access, exposed devices and any command requiring 2FA still goes via the cloud.

It looks like Home Assistant refuses to add support for this.

It’s all clearly defined in ADR-007 https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/blob/master/a...

The TL;DR: Authentication for devices and services are via the UI only (to deal with OAuth2, refresh tokens, auto-updating IPs via mDNS). Automations/scripts/scenes are both YAML or UI.

Regular Docker installs are not unsupported. HA Supervised installs, if they don't meet the specific requirements, are unsupported.

Just make sure you follow the link at the top for the requirements and have all of the requirements insyalled before running the script.

A good write up / discussion was held on GitHub about this.

There is an architectural issue we're working through in https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/482 -- stay tuned. Once that is resolved, the "preload stream" checkbox will work to get it all ready before you open it.
