Sad for all of us who handle this beta test seriously 
BUT Thanks for your hard work 
Means for me that i need to take back my alexa again! meehhh
But i will wait for the official release 
Hi Mehmet,
Could you clarify a bit?
If some secret is logged about usersâ google accounts now in the beta, it will be as well logged in the future on the myopenhab cloud, right?
Which means visible to myopenhab admins.
So does this mean that this integration is not safe for users? Hope not!
Which tokens/clientids are you taking about? Those of myhopenhab cloud? Or those related to google account used to connect with?
When I saw the Readme page for the GH beta test I thought that too much info was shared⊠and not needed , for example all things about console logging, oauth2 endpoint etc were simple not needed to test this beta.
Btw it seems the GH integration beta is still active for me 
Thanks

Hi @MARZIMA.
I understand, security is very important!
But Iâm confused.
After your previous post there were only 3 more. Non of them contains credentials (the logs - yes), but you concern was credentials.
Yes, there was possibility to see ClientID and moreover the secret to it for test users. But there is possibility to hide this (by managing roles). Take a look at https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam/project.
Regarding link to credentials page I posted. Do you consider it as a security issue? This is a general google link to that page, it is public. To access something, first you need to have google account credentials, second you need to have granted access to project (if you are not owner), third you need to have rights to see it. In other words, this link is similar to any other where you need to provide credentials, like myopenhab.org.
My question was regarding how to setup own project. To have possibility to write, test and deploy changes (before creating PRs) to own google functions and have possibility to test it with Google Home.
Best regards,
Viktor

Hi @Sk8ter,
I know that there is a way to hide the clientID. I gave the Beta Testers the Role Viewer, but it seems that the secrets been visible. I ve tested it in Actions Console, but forgot about the Cloud Console.
I understood what you want to do. BUT: If you think logically and have read the How-To than you recognized that you need an own Backend or OH-cloud to do something similiar in your complete own setup. How do you think that you should connect your own Google Assistant to a production system like myopenhab.org?
This makes no sense! So I think there you should have asked first and I could have guided you and supported your effort. I am there to helpâŠso dont get this wrong. Your motivation is pretty cool.
BUT: This was a Beta Test for the upcoming openHAB Google Action for the OH community users.
What I recognized is: People dont read my posts carefully! I never told anybody to go an spinup a cloud function within this test. If you do so, you need to know what you re starting to do.
I am happy that you want to help and welcome you warmly. But I wrote in my previous posts, that the HowTo contribute and âSet all up by yourselfâ will be provided later onâŠafter the Beta Test.
@massi:
No of course not! But the Backends are wired by OAuth and those credentials need to remain secure and not seen by anyone.
So reusing the ClientID and Secret is simply nonsense and of course bound to myopenhab.org & Google Platform.
Dont worry, since we can fix that. It just makes me some work to create a new project etc.
Regarding documentation:
I think you guys dont read my posts. This is sad, since I try to write clearly and a lot 
There I pointed people to the right place in the docu and howto setup the usage.
Of course there needs to be more detailed docu and shouldnt be shorterâŠit should be more. Since the repo is meant for people who want to help to extend the action and need to set it all up. But as I mentioned that this will be provided later on. So you should not only wear the âconsuming glassesâ also wear the âcontributor glassesâ.
If the official openHAB Action is released, we will def put this into a howto or whatever @ThomDietrich would propose. And that would be nothing more than just open Google Assistant app and link the official openHAB service (similiar to the usage in the beta test).

Ok @marzima we surely wait for your contributors instructions.
In fact I definitely would like to help in this GH integration (starting with simple things like the light color fix, see GIT issue), so to wear the âcontributor glassesâ 
and also learn more about GH and cloud functions.
Thank for the clarification!

Maybe dumb question, but someone mentioned that Google Home = (basically) Google Assistant.
Does that mean that we can use the phone voice control? Or does one have to buy at least one google home?
I just started with automation (I wish I contributed something on the topic) and I would like to âsellâ the idea about voice control with OK google. If a âphone onlyâ solution could work for start, as a trial if you will, then I could just imply that it all works much much better with google home, then I would be allowed to install one in the living room due to high WAF
Or would a phone work at all? Only on home wifi?
Any Google assistant device would work from Phone, Sonos, RaspberryâŠor even Google Home

Please be a little bit patient.

Thatâs really sad. You should take all the time you needâŠ
But, are there any updates ? I got my Google Home Mini this week. Really disappointed that the Hue emulation doesnât work anymoreâŠ
Greetings from Germany!
@MARZIMA - Hi Mehmet , I hope your family are doing as well as they can. Always so sad. Take your timeâŠ
For everyone else - is there anyone able and willing to possibly add to the code all the latest DeviceTypes supported by the AoG api?
https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/guides/
They now have
Camera
Dishwasher
Dryer
Vacuum
WasherâŠwhich are not all that interesting to me
but they now also have in addition to âLight and Switchâ
Outlet
Scene
Thermostat
Outlet/Scene and Switch would be really nice to have in our binding. I have âhackedâ some of my âswitchesâ such as my garage door control to be controlled as a âSwitchableâ⊠so when someone says âHey Google- Turn off the lightsââŠit actions my âhacksâ tooâŠso it would be great to have only the lights turn off!
@Michael_Dopp - i notice you have made some changes/fixes on the github for this.- would you be interested in adding these in?
Question: if we manage to make these modifications, and push them to the repository, how these could be tested in the trial?
How can be deployed on myopenhab?
Cheers
Massi
just my opinion, but I think it would be good to focus the efforts on what is needed to get the first GA version out if possible so itâs no longer beta/trial. anyone have a good idea of what is remaining to get this into GA?

Hello All,
I will publish this weekend a new version and bring in the latest fixes.
We will soon submit it than as GA and we can afterwards extend it. So if the voolunteers wait until I have the stable version out, everybody is welcome to contribute and extend it. Going on it these days.
If it is not that complicated I will add it beforehand. Just give some little more time, since I had a lot of private stuff
and my daughter was just born.
Thanks for your patience.
I will surely care for it the comming weekend and weeks.
BR Mehmet
