The `google_pubsub` component allows you to hook into the Home Assistant event bus and send events to [Google Cloud Pub/Sub](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/overview). The current [free tier](https://cloud.google.com/free/) of GCP should allow you to sync about 1 event every 2 seconds on average (2 million invocations per month).

## {% linkable_title First time setup %}

This assumes you already have a Google Cloud project. If you don't, please create one in the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate)

You need to create a Service Account key in the [Google Cloud API Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/serviceaccountkey)
- Choose a new "New Service Account", give it a name and leave the key type as JSON
- Select the role: Pub/Sub Publisher

This will download the Service Account JSON key to your machine. Do NOT share this with anyone. Place this file in your Home Assistant config folder.

Next, create a Google Pub/Sub topic in the [Google Cloud API Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudpubsub/topicList). The topic name will become something like `projects/project-198373/topics/topic-name`. Note the last part only (the name you chose): `topic-name`.


## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

Add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
google_pubsub:
project_id: YOUR_PROJECT_ID
topic_name: YOUR_TOPIC_NAME
credentials_json: CREDENTIALS_FILENAME
```

{% configuration %}
project_id:
description: Project ID from the Google console (looks like `words-2ab12`).
required: true
type: string
topic_name:
description: The Pub/Sub topic name.
required: true
type: string
credentials_json:
description: The filename of the Google Service Account JSON file.
required: true
type: string
filter:
description: Filter domains and entities for Google Cloud Pub/Sub.
required: false
type: map
default: Includes all entities from all domains
keys:
include_domains:
description: List of domains to include (e.g., `light`).
required: false
type: list
exclude_domains:
description: List of domains to exclude (e.g., `light`).
required: false
type: list
include_entities:
description: List of entities to include (e.g., `light.attic`).
required: false
type: list
exclude_entities:
description: List of entities to include (e.g., `light.attic`).
required: false
type: list
{% endconfiguration %}

<p class='note warning'>
Not filtering domains or entities will send every event to Google PubSub, thus hitting the free tier limit very fast. Be sure to fill in this configuration parameter or have a paid subscription for Google Cloud.
</p>

### {% linkable_title Saving the data using a Google Cloud Function %}

To save your data automatically to BigQuery, follow the [instructions here](https://github.com/timvancann/home-assistant-pubsub-cloud-function). The current [free tier](https://cloud.google.com/free/) of GCP should allow to store up to 10GB of data.
