Integration with Google Home / Google Assistant - Now available for general use

[Gol4]

So, any chance to toggle energy saver mode and always connected? Useful if you have left your car behind somewhere .

There no APIs available to control that feature. However it just takes more time to wake up. "EV Car" might give you an error or a message saying the car is not connected or asleep. If you try again in a few seconds it should work.

In google Home you can create shortcuts.
So when I say "Get Darth Vader Ready" = "Ask EV Car to start climate control"
works really well, and sounds way sexier than "EV CAR" hehe

Odd! "Ask EV Car to start climate control" works for me (yay). But "Ask EV Car to get location" never works: it instead replies "I missed what you said. Say it again?" or "What was that?"

Does anyone know of a reverse integration? I want to be able to use Google Assistant from my Tesla touch screen. Like go to a assistant.google.com tap a mic icon and speak the command. Better yet if I could use the voice command button on the steering wheel - but I would think that would require Tesla's official support. This would be handy for controlling things like lights or other devices you have connected to Google Assistant. Access control / security can be handled via Google Authentication.

Hi @Gol4
I think I might have found a bug or issue today.
I simply cannot get the car to charge:

Thanks for your message ( and for being so persistent). I has laughing watching your video. It must have been frustrating.
The problem is not with the app or you, its google. I can reproduce it on my Google Home. Using their web simulator however works fine. Using google assistant on phone works a little better. I am going to collect some raw data and open a case with Google Assistant support folks.

Thanks.

For now you can say "where's my car".
"get location" seems to be missing from the configuration and will be added in the next release.

Yeah, it got quite funny here too. I've learned to laugh about these things and move on with life. lol

I hope you get some progress with google support. It is indeed a clear issue with the Home. Sadly, I bought the Home after trying your awesome app. I'm not saying it was the only reason but it was a big part of it. It used to work ok so something has changed somewhere. I'll sit tight until you come back with progress updates.
In the meantime, it's back to using the phone app.
Have a good one @Gol4

Thanks I have sometimes left the car sitting and wanted to turn energy saver on remotely.

Can you please check if it works now? Google Support gave a weird answer but that gave me some hints on what might have changed. Apparently the intent should be defined to look for type "percent" instead of type "number". I've made that change and it seems to work in my limited tests.

Awesome. I will give it a try later today and let you know how it goes.

Looking good!

Looking very good indeed!
Thank you @Gol4 for the super quick fix of Google's weirdness.

Today Actions for Google gained support for Swedish!

I would be happy to help with translation!

 

[dedicatedtek]

@Gol4 any idea why it is failing now ?

 

[Gol4]

Try saying "ask evie car to set charge limit to 87%"

 

[dedicatedtek]

strange. I know it has changed over time at least twice now. Since using 'evie car', the correct wording that is accepted has changed. Is this on Google's end or in your program ? I noticed at first on turning climate control on.

 

[Gol4]

The change is on google's end. I brought this up as an issue with them last time this came up.
BTW what was the exact change you noticed on Climate?

 

[dedicatedtek]

i'd like to be able to provide you with what I saw, but it was in the past, and I can't find a record of it (on google's activity).
If I run across it again, I'll let you know.

@GoI4, Been enjoying the fruits of your labor - great work.
As of last night now getting this error "Invalid token use Google Assistant to re-link to account". No sure how to do that - could you help with what steps I need to take?

When I "Stop" the EV car app and then type in "Talk to EV car" I can get into the EV car fine and it responds with a "Hi", but any other command gives me the invalid token error above.
