I have a problem whit link the trigger in google home

[Bryan Madrigal]

Excuse my English, i’m latin and my main language is the Spanish, but i wanna explain you the problem.

Finally create command and install the software in the computer, when try link the trigger in google home, appear message linked but no is real, the function active in google home and the assistant say that don’t find the device!

You have idea what i did wrong?

[Bryan Madrigal]

When i search the devices, i can’t look the trigger action on google home!

The computer is linked!
And the command is created in computer!

But I can’t action this from google assistant!

@Bryan-Madrigal, I see the problem.

You don't have a default computer, and your computer doesn't have a voice name.

Virtual switches will only be added to Google Home (or Alexa) if one of these is true:

1. Your computer is your Default computer. You can set that in your profile page.
   

2. Your computer has a Voice Name

I recommend #1 because the virtual switches will have a shorter name - like "Calculator" instead of "Calculator on Computer"

@Russ Thanks it’s really works for me!

I suggest you add a note in this setting up a computer, because I would never have know if you didn’t tell me.

I congrats for your effort!

Thank you so much!

@Bryan-Madrigal it is a common problem because it's not obvious to new users. I'll think about where to put that information so new users will see it.

FYI, your first computer is automatically your default computer, but I suspect you deleted it and re-created it.

Is there a way to troubleshoot a smart device that shows as linked in Google Home but isn't responding or being found by the Assistant?

@Ancar Try unplugging the device and plugging it back in. You might also want to re-sync the device in the Google Home app.
