Hey everyone!
I had the problem that google assitant added much to many items. so i decided to delete the connection and reconnect everything for a fresh setup. Bad idea. Now i am not able to connect openhab in google again. One time i was able to log in with username and password and since then i get the message:
“Die Einstellung konnte nicht aktualisiert werden. Bitte prüfe deine Verbindung.”
it means something like:
“The setting can’t be updated. please check your connection.”
I found this message related to many google integrations so i think its problem with google and not with openhab.
Had anybody the same problem and an idea how to solve it?
No. I realy tried anything. I deleted all connections in both directions and tried it from my wifes device.
I also reinstalled all apps and cleared all appdata several times.
The problem seems to accure with several google addons. So it is not a problem with openhab i guess.
I just resolved my issue after hours of frustration.
Apparently, all items should have a label in the GUI or items files. I somehow missed that requirement. Hope that works for you too.
I removed all tags and started with only one. After that i noticed that once i added the ones without the label in the files it broke the handshake or something with google (don’t know how it works in the backend).
There was a development in Google Assistant connection when Google announced much more device configs and new version requires labelling. It was compatible backwards in 2.x.x.
Now i have the problem that google creates much to many items for every point of lightgroups i set up in the model page. There are no Metadata for google set but the items apear anyway.
