Re: Google Home Assistant

I've had this working about 4 weeks now, it's mostly worked fine with the occasional " z-wave.me is unavailable right now".

What I have to do is pause/stop the Google Home app within the z-way Active Apps as if I don't then the server stops requiring an RPi reboot. With it paused, it does continue to work via the Google Assistant.

Running Rpi4, Buster, z-way 3.0.3

Indeed, we have seen that Z-Way crashes for some users on Google Home integration. We have improved in v3.0.4 (updated OpenSSL as the old one was crashing Z-Way). Now should work better. Please check it

I updated to v3.0.4 and have had it running a few days without any reboot, so all good there.

There is still a few instances of "sorry, couldn't reach z-wave.me", but it's useful when it's working well.

I've been finding the Google integration useful for some time now, but almost every time I get the "sorry, it looks like zwave.me is unavailable right now" message but then after about 5 seconds the light will turn on/off. The delay, while irritating, I can live with as usually the light will operate, but is there any way to stop the error message being announced each time?

If you can tell us part of your token (only part, some 6 symbols only - not to give full access ;), we can check it on our system. But so far we have noticed that some Google servers have problems reaching our servers. Anyway, we can check - also give us time when it complains and where it does not so we can compare those moments.

The token can be found in users - google user -> list of sessions (there should be one).

Hi Team,
I can see the same issue with Alexa. Trying to switch over Alexa will fail, an immediately command via z-way is always working.
So seems the z-way cloud service is to slow, as other systems are working fine the same time.
Just for Info.

Thanks PoltoS

The only thing looking like a token that I could find was the name https://oauth-redirect.googleuserconten ... XXXX984729 (leaving the requested 6 digits). Is this what you need?

Today I have asked Google to operate a light and a blind several times and each time I got the error message, but each time it did work after delays between about 5 to 30 seconds. Below is the time, instruction and error message received. If I also manage to have a successful operation with no message then I will post the time.

10:14 - turn on living room light - sorry, it looks like zwave.me is unavailable right now
10:15 - open master bedroom blind - sorry I couldn't reach zwave.message
10:17 - close master bedroom blind - sorry I couldn't reach zwave.message
10:19 - turn off living room light - sorry I couldn't reach zwave.message
19:22 - turn off living room light - sorry I couldn't reach zwave.message
19:23 - turn on living room light - sorry, it looks like zwave.me is unavailable right now
22:13 - turn on living room light - sorry I couldn't reach zwave.me
22:15 - turn off living room light - sorry I couldn't reach zwave.me
23:15 - turn off living room light - sorry I couldn't reach zwave.me
23:16 - turn on living room light - sorry I couldn't reach zwave.me

As an update, over the past few days Google Assistant has worked 100% of the time, just varying time delays and always an error message.

And finally, I got an instance where the google assistant turned off the light as expected with no delays or error, just a confirmation tone. This was at 00:54. Unfortunately this morning it is giving the error but not actually activating the light.

Thanks.
