Google renders SCENE devices (HA scripts/scenes) as voice/Routine-only, not as tappable tiles -> the button was invisible. Switched the Google exposure to a template switch (tiles like the TV). Documents the broken HomeGraph SA key (invalid_grant) that disables requestSync/reportState until regenerated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# HA + Google Home setup — POS Briefing button (DEPLOYED 2026-06-07)
|
||
|
||
Status: deployed on VM HA (`192.168.0.146`, HAOS 2026.2.3) and verified end-to-end
|
||
through HA. Final Google-app surfacing is yours (see "Your steps").
|
||
|
||
Chain: **Google Home tile → HA `switch.print_daily_briefing` → `button.press` on
|
||
`button.pos_briefing_print_daily_briefing` → MQTT `posbriefing/button/press`
|
||
(broker CT 301) → `pos-briefing-mqtt.service` on steel141 → `pos_briefing.py` →
|
||
printer (by MAC) → TM-m30.**
|
||
|
||
## Why a switch, not a scene
|
||
A `script`/`scene` exposed to Google gets the **Scene** trait, which Google Home
|
||
does **not** render as a tappable tile (it's voice/Routine-only). A **switch**
|
||
renders as a tile (like the LG TV). So the action is exposed as a template switch.
|
||
|
||
Because HomeGraph state reporting is currently broken (see below), the switch is
|
||
forced **always-off** and **both on and off fire the print**, so a tap always
|
||
prints regardless of Google's cached state. The bridge debounce prevents any
|
||
double-print. (Once the SA key is fixed, this can be simplified to on-only.)
|
||
|
||
## What is deployed on VM HA `/config` (backups in `/config/.backup/`)
|
||
- **`scripts.yaml`** — `script.print_daily_briefing` (presses the button). Kept as
|
||
an alternate trigger; not exposed to Google.
|
||
- **`configuration.yaml`**:
|
||
- `switch:` template `print_daily_briefing` (the tile; entity `switch.print_daily_briefing`).
|
||
- `google_assistant.entity_config` exposes `switch.print_daily_briefing`
|
||
(alongside the LG TV + projector; nothing else changed).
|
||
- `ha core check` passed → `ha core restart`. Local SYNC webhook confirms the entity
|
||
is reported to Google as `action.devices.types.SWITCH`.
|
||
|
||
## Verified
|
||
- Local Google SYNC (the manual integration's local-fulfillment webhook) returns 3
|
||
devices: **Print Daily Briefing (SWITCH)**, Big TV (SWITCH), Projector (SETTOP).
|
||
- `switch.turn_on switch.print_daily_briefing` → bridge `Briefing printed OK` →
|
||
**physical receipt**. (Same for the earlier `script` path.)
|
||
|
||
## Known issue — HomeGraph auth broken (pre-existing, not from this work)
|
||
HA's `SERVICE_ACCOUNT.json` (project `seth-freiberg`, SA `claude@seth-freiberg.iam`)
|
||
has an **invalid private key** (`invalid_grant: Invalid JWT Signature`) — the key was
|
||
rotated/deleted during the lgtv 2026-06-06 security cleanup but the HA copy was never
|
||
refreshed. Effects:
|
||
- `devices:requestSync` 400 → HA can't proactively push device-list changes; you must
|
||
re-sync from the Google side ("Hey Google, sync my devices").
|
||
- `devices:reportStateAndNotification` 400 → device states (incl. the TV/projector)
|
||
don't push to Google in real time.
|
||
**Fix (GCP, your call):** create a new JSON key for `claude@seth-freiberg.iam`
|
||
(HomeGraph API enabled), deploy to `/config/SERVICE_ACCOUNT.json` (chmod 600), restart
|
||
HA. Then `request_sync` and live state work for all devices, and this switch can drop
|
||
the both-directions-fire hack.
|
||
|
||
## Your steps (Google Home app, account `slingshooter08`)
|
||
1. Say **"Hey Google, sync my devices"** (linking-based sync; works despite the SA-key
|
||
issue). **Print Daily Briefing** should appear as a tile.
|
||
2. Remove any **stale/phantom device** — HA only sends 3 devices; if Google shows 4,
|
||
the extra is leftover from a prior link. (Settings → the duplicate → Remove.)
|
||
3. Tap **Print Daily Briefing** → receipt prints in ~1–2 min.
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
- A print takes ~1–2 min (gemma4:26b). `posbriefing/status` goes `printing` → `ok`.
|
||
- Google-linking invariants (lgtv 2026-06-06, satisfied — don't re-fix): manual
|
||
`google_assistant`, scopes `email`+`name`, "HTTP basic auth header" OFF, GCP consent
|
||
screen untouched (shared project).
