User not able to find test action though he opted in the alpha test

rayw — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 07:53:28 GMT

Hi,

We're developed an action for our smart home devices and have been running without problem for years. Recently we need to debug some issues reported from users.

We've released a alpha release in the action deployment page. And we've invited some testers via their google email. They also confirmed the invitation, and the invitation page showed "Opted in" is checked.

But all the users are not able to find this test action in the google home, even after several days' waiting.

We then followed the instructions on Smart Home testing guide . But we can't seem to find the "ADD" button at the top of the page as specified in step 3.

So, we'd like to start a thread to ask for help on what's the correct way to invite users to our alpha release. Thanks in advance.

Hello @rayw ,

Thanks for reaching out with your issue. You can follow the steps to implement Testing of your Smart Home actions

In the Actions on Google Console, go to your project and then click on the 'Develop' tab and then select the 'Account Linking' option from the left pane.

Click on the 'Test' button on the top right corner to enable testing.

If the UI you are seeing is different from the one shown in the screenshots above, there is a chance that your project is not a smart home project and it could be a conversational action project. I recommend changing your project to a Smart Home project and then implementing the testing feature again.
