Hayward's site says that they have Google Assistant / Google Home Support? See here: Better Automation

However, when I search in my Google Home App, I see no option to link Hayward or Omni. Does anyone know if/how Hayward and Google home can connect? And if so, what voice commands work?
 
Thanks for the quick reply! I saw that earlier, but Step 2 doesn't work: there is no option in the Google Home app to connect Hayward or Omni or Omnilogic. I have over a dozen different smart home tools running through Google Home, so I know how to connect them - Hayward is not an option sadly. I would expect it to show up on their list of "works with google" apps, but it doesn't.
 
I'm having the same issue. Hayward isn't an option on the account link list. I did add it to home assistant but it gives an error there.. I'm thinking Hayward has pulled their integration for now. They may be about to pull a "MyQ" and start charging for the access.
 
I called Hayward and at first they said they were working on it but the last time I called they said it was no longer an option. It's a bummer because I have to keep an Alexa device. Also, still looking for alternatives to control the equipment as the wireless keypad is very expensive.
