I'm developing my smart home device. For now, it doesn't have a native app but only a web client. My home-actions work well, but I'm worried about the complexity of adding a new device in the google home app.

According to add new device user have to:

  1. Open Home app
  2. Click + button
  3. Click "Set up device"
  4. Click "Have something already set up"
  5. Find my application in the list

And only then starts the process of the user linking.

I think that should be an easier way to link users, for example, deep-link to "user linking" in-home app, but I cannot find one.

Can someone explain the best user experience of account linking in Google Home App, for both mobile application and web application?

For native application, Smart Home documentation now feature a section about App Flip which allow you to "deep-link" to your native application to complete the account linking process.
