Incorrect device class assignment for entity "Gate" in Google Assistant integration

[Bygood91]

The problem

Description of the issue:
In the Google Assistant integration, the device class of the entity "Gate" is incorrectly assigned as "Garage". This results in improper handling of the device by Google Assistant.

Technical details:
I believe I have identified a part of the code that might be responsible for this issue:

• File: core/homeassistant/components/google_assistant/const.py
• Lines: 173 and 174
  

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Configure an entity of type "Gate" in Home Assistant.
2. Sync the entity with Google Assistant.
3. Observe that Google Assistant recognizes it as a "Garage" instead of a "Gate".

The entity "Gate" should be correctly recognized by Google Assistant as a "Gate".

Current result:
The entity "Gate" is assigned as a "Garage".

Thank you for your assistance in correcting this issue.

Hi,

I managed to find what needed to be modified in the const.py file (2 lines) so that my gate appears with the right device type in Google Assistant (Home). 😁

I am attaching the screen printouts of the 2 modifications and the result on Google Home.

Thanks in advance.

File : homeassistant/components/google_assistant/const.py

First modification:
We add this under line 85
TYPE_GATE = f"{PREFIX_TYPES}GATE"

Second modification :
We modify the value "TYPE_GARAGE" to "TYPE_GATE" for line 175
(cover.DOMAIN, cover.CoverDeviceClass.GATE): TYPE_GATE,

Here is the result on Google Home.
Perfect icon and device type (Gate means portal in French) :
