Integrating Google Home Mini with SmartThings: A User's Journey

I recently added a Google Home Mini to my SmartThings ecosystem, and while it works seamlessly for music and general voice commands, I encountered a puzzling issue with device control. Despite my best efforts, the Mini wouldn’t integrate fully with my SmartThings hub, leaving me unable to control my connected devices through it. After hours of troubleshooting—reinstalling apps, resetting devices, and even trying different accounts—I realized the problem might lie in how the Mini was initially set up. My husband had logged in first, and while I changed the account, perhaps some settings remained tied to his profile. I’m curious if others have faced similar challenges and if there’s a workaround to fully integrate these devices without compromising on functionality. I’d love to hear your experiences and tips for a smoother integration!
