You all need to be part of one home with added people, not everyone with their own account. https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9155535?hl=en

Yeah I thought that was it, but I checked and my wife is definitely already a home member ( already listed under "people in this home")
She can see a test added HA switch for a bhyve timer I added in her GH, but like mentioned in that thread, she can't "access" the script.
It doesn't show as a "device" (not does it for me), and when she replicates my routine, she gets a "sorry..."
If she doesn't have the routine and tries the same routine trigger I have "hey Google power price" Google says sorry (but I can ask the same question straight after and get the correct response)..

I've got my wife to test a script tonight and it does not work for here though other routines that don't use scripts do. I'll look into that room theory when I get some time.

Well, I’m not sure what I did, but I got it working? Like I mentioned, my wife could see the HA switches, so I went to Routines, created a new one, “add actions” then “browse popular actions”.
There it was, speak_power_rates, on her google home.
So I added it, made a voice trigger, and voila!

One final, some what unrelated question for you, absolutely fine if you can’t answer it or it’s outside your knowledge.
I am trying to setup a IFTTT trigger, from HA, to change a wifi light colour.
In other words, I’m hoping, when the power price is say below 24c, so send a trigger to IFTTT. A second trigger would be when price is between 24.01 and 35c, and a third trigger would be anything greater than 35c.

I’m not sure if a multi-option trigger can be sent beyond on/off, but even if it’s 3 individual triggers, that would be fine.

I’m looking at runing this in HA service tab (obviously with the ifttt and it’s API key added to my config)
Domain: ifttt
Service: tigger
Service domain: {"event": "EventName", "value1": "Hello World", "target": "YOUR_KEY_NAME1"}

I think the first 2 stay the same, but how would I translate my data required (say a first range trigger from -999c to 24.00c) ?

That way I could have a lamp set up which, being always on, will change colour based on the power price.
Cheers for any assistance (once again!)

Or would an automation and script be a better idea?

# Example configuration.yaml Automation entry
automation:
  alias: Startup Notification
  trigger:
    platform: homeassistant
    event: start
  action:
    service: script.ifttt_notify
    data_template:
      value1: 'HA Status:'
      value2: "{{ trigger.event.data.entity_id.split('_')[1] }} is "
      value3: "{{ trigger.event.data.to_state.state }}"

and

#Example Script to send TestHA_Trigger to IFTTT but with some other data (homeassistant UP).
ifttt_notify:
  sequence:
    - service: ifttt.trigger
      data_template: {"event":"TestHA_Trigger", "value1":"{{ value1 }}", "value2":"{{ value2 }}", "value3":"{{ value3 }}"}

Edit, I have been experimenting (trial and many errors) in template with the following
value_template: "{% if states.sensor.amber_general_usage_price.state | float > 35.005 %} red {% endif %}"
value_template: "{% if states.sensor.amber_general_usage_price.state | float < 23.00 %} green {% endif %}"
value_template: "{% if states.sensor.amber_general_usage_price.state | 23.005 < float > 35.00 %} yellow {% endif %}"

The current price is dictating the red and green text to be output (currently only outputting green due to the price being below 23c right now). But I can’t get yellow working. Is there a particular format needed to do a greater than AND less than?

Is any of this event helpful in creating a trigger for IFTTT lol?

Probably best to post on HA forum as everyone gets to benefit from the solution. Personally, I wouldn't involved IFTTT unless you have no other choice as it will add unnecessary delays.

What do you mean by cloud config? Is this added to the config.yaml? Which files am I editing here?

What do you mean by cloud config? Is this added to the config.yaml? Which files am I editing here?

In configuration.yaml

## Includes ##
automation: !include automations.yaml
binary_sensor: !include_dir_merge_list binary_sensor
cloud: !include cloud.yaml

That points us to a file in your config folder called cloud.yaml and all code above is in there.

That's helpful, thank you. Any ideas why I am getting this error:

Here's my config.yaml:

Since I couldn't add cloud.yaml, pasted the script code in script.yaml.

This what my script.yaml looks like:
script:
speak_last_feed:
alias: 'Ask Google for Last Feed'
sequence:
- delay:
seconds: 2
- service: tts.google_say
entity_id:
- media_player.bedroom_speaker
- media_player.kitchen_speaker
- media_player.living_room_speaker
data_template:
message: >-
The last feed was {{ as_timestamp('sensor.last_feeding')}}

This is what my configuration.yaml looks like
