First of all, every help page is something to be thankful for, Is it an idea to add a sample configuration part for, in this case, Google WiFi? I tried to add a host, but when I do the configuration check, everytime it is an error. To see an example, it is easier to see the structure. The downfall is that users copy/paste the code and complain that it doesn't work. Thank you for reading my feedback!

There is? The example is complete and should be sufficient for most cases. All others are optional.

Well, complete seams to be an overstatement. from what i have seen alot ou users new to home assistant does have issues with this, including my self.

I suppose this might be dependent on what device one got maybe?

Nest Wifi Router (AKA Google Wifi?)

Current config:

sensor:
  - platform: google_wifi
    unique_id: 98374e6a-e28e-488b-a070-0aacc769efba
    host: 192.168.9.1  # Replace with your router's address (e.g., IP or hostname)
    name: cleanroom
    friendly_name: nest_router
    monitored_conditions:
      - current_version
      - new_version
      - uptime
      - last_restart
      - local_ip
      - status

According to docs, this should be more than sufficent, i had to add "unique_id:" as im having an error of "This entity ('sensor.google_wifi_current_version') does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the documentation for more detail."

How ever, this did not resolve my issue, still have the same error.

Is there anything else in my config missing or is there something in home assistant that im missing?

Might be note worthy to include the solution in the docs for this integration at best. (This was not the solution obviously).

Just wanted to bump this issue. I too am having issues getting this working. My config.yaml is similar to mattish91's. More clarity on what to put in the config file would be helpful.
