I think its now impossible to use the Hue Emulation with Google Home. I removed it on mine after months of perfect working, and when i tried to set it up again i also got redirected to the meethue.com site. I tried old versions of the GHome app which worked for some others, but not for me.
So if its working for anyone - dont remove it!
@hypernative - Your only option is to wait for the official Openhab integration discussed here:
Can confirm. We are no longer being redirected to http://hue-adapter.appspot.com
I installed Fiddler, a network traffic manipulation tool, to my PC and proxied all traffic from my phone through the PC.
I’ve managed to redirect the Google Home Philips Hue pairing URL to http://hue-adapter.appspot.com/ successfully.
Unfortunately, the page just says the same thing as when opening it here in the browser: Please open this site from the Google Home app or similar.
There must be something set in the User-Agent or a Header but I don’t know which. If anyone has the old Google Home app available, please sniff the http request to the hue-adapter page.
FFS I just deleted my devices from Google Home so I could relink them as it had duplicates in there and am getting redirected to the dreaded Philips website, and now I come in here and read that it’s toast.. Great. Well done Google, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again. I’ll see if I can get an older version of Home from apkmirror.
So far I’ve been back to versions of the Home app from early October 2017 but all redirect to the Philips website. I suspect it might be a server-side redirection.
