-You need to use this information to configure the mic and speaker configuration options. The format is <card #>,<device #>. On a Raspberry Pi 3, 0,0 is the built-in headset port, 0,1 is the HDMI port.
-We need also connect our Google Assistant with google account. Try open the oauth2 interface with http://hassio.local:9324 and follow the steps on that page.
-Now that you’ve found the microphone and speaker addresses, it’s time to configure Google Assistant and restart the add-on.

+You need to use this information to point the add-on at the right speakers and microphone. The information describes different cards and devices. On a Raspberry Pi 3, card 0 - device 0 is the built-in headset port, card 0 - device 1 is the HDMI port. In the example above, the USB microphone showed up as card 1 - device 0.
+Find the microphone and speakers that you want to use and note down their device and card number. We will need that to configure the add-on options mic (microphone to use) and speaker (speaker to use). The format for these options is <card #>,<device #>. Change the configuration options and click save.
+The next step is to authenticate your Google account with Google Assistant. Start the add-on and click on the “OPEN WEB UI” button to start authentication.
