Google Home Developer Console

[y8s]

I got this email. Will the changes affect how this service works?

Hi usernameredacted@gmail.com,

‌

Thanks for building smart home Actions with Google on the Actions console. We’re excited to announce that the new Google Home Developer Console will soon replace the Actions console as the destination to develop and launch your projects.

‌

Your Actions projects will migrate to the Developer Console in stages, and will not impact your users or your product experience. It’s important to make sure your Actions and the Simulator are set up correctly before the migration. Beyond that, no action is required. Please see the migration FAQ for details.

Key dates

Starting in early November You can no longer create new Actions on the Action console – all new projects will be built on the Developer Console. You can edit existing projects until the migration starts. Certification approval and launch requests from the Actions console may be rejected due to project migration. Please refrain from submitting these requests unless it’s critical. Around mid November All Cloud and Local Home SDK projects will start migrating to the Developer Console in batches. You’ll receive an email when your projects have been migrated. ‌

To access migrated projects on the Developer Console, you’ll need to agree to the Terms of Service for Google Home Developers.

‌

We’ll send a reminder email about two weeks before the migration date.

‌

Best,

The Google Home Developer team

Hello,

I got the same email. So far I don't know any more details. I can only hope that projects will be migrated automatically and that this "will not impact your users or your product experience" as Google promises.

But to be honest, I'm not sure what to make of it. I migrated one of my projects and created a new one. None of them have the necessary settings (such as the fulfilment URL) to make a smarthome service work. There also seems to be no documentation available. I'm curious to see if they really will have the new Dev Console ready by mid-November when they migrate all the projects. It seems a bit rushed. I expect the transition to be at least "a bit" rough.

Anyway, I'll keep you updated if I get any news.

Hi all,

Today I received the following email from Google.

I have no idea why Google thinks, that this should be confidential.

CONFIDENTIAL - Do not forward

Hi

‌We'd like to remind you that your existing Actions on Google smart home
projects will start migrating to the Google Home Developer Console in
batches starting around early December.

This will not impact your users or your product experience. It's important
to make sure your Actions and the Simulator are set up correctly before the
migration. Please see the Actions migration FAQ for proper setup details.
Beyond that, no action is required.

This email was sent to because you showed interest in
developing Actions on Google.

I tried to create an action today and you can't. the smart home option in google actions is grayed out and unselectable. it only provides a link to the developer console.

I haven't tested for this node but I did get the Google assistant integration for home assistant working via the new Google home developer console using a cloud to cloud integration.

Most of the same stuff is there but all on one page. you just stop after saving and skip the test portion.

I also can't create a Smart Home project. The "Start building" button is greyed out :(

[Caprico85]

For me, it doesn't work either.

I can migrate my existing project to the Developer Console. But then I get the message that it has to be managed on the old Actions Console.

If I create a new project, I can click the button "Add integration" on the Develop page. But it only throws me back to the Resources page. On the Resources page, there are only some tutorials. There's nothing where I can set up my smart home project.
