Call into a GV account, press * during the greeting, enter GV PIN, press 2 to place a call. If calling domestically and don't care about outbound caller ID (or want to send the GV number), you're done.
This requires that the ringing OBi PHONE Port go unanswered so that Google Voice voicemail picks up. If someone is at home and normally answers the phone, it might take multiple calls to accomplish the task (messy?)
Sorry if I was not clear here. Perhaps I should have said "Call into a GV account that does not directly ring your OBi, such as one created specifically for this purpose."

Otherwise, dial your OBi from GV, have that GV number listed as a trusted caller, and you'll get the AA.
This doesn't work. Dialing your own Google Voice number from the Google Voice attendant gives a busy and doesn't ring the OBi.
That would only be true if you were trying to call the OBi using the same GV account that it was registered to. This could be avoided by using two GV accounts (as above), or dialing the OBi on its PSTN or SIP DID, if it has one or both of those.

Where do I find that Obi number? I tried to dial 9 digit number staring with 200 and gives me error...

In my post that you quoted, the OBi was reached by calling a GV or other DID associated with it. It appears that you are trying to do something different, so please explain your situation.

I purchased and setup at home Obihai 110 with SIP1 to Google Voice but how do I call my Obi110 unit at home from other location to access Auto Attendant?
I tried number printed on the back of unit and number of "OBi Dashboard" to no avail...

You call your Google Voice number.
If you want the Auto Attendant to answer all incming calls on the SP1 Service, set:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : aa
If you want the Auto Attendant to answer only incoming calls on the SP1 Service from one or more specific CallerID's and all other callers to go to the OBi PHONE Port, set:
Voice Services -> SP1 Service -> X_InboundCallRoute : {(12341111111|12342222222):aa},{ph}
where 12341111111 and 12342222222 are the CallerID's who are to go the Auto Attendant. This list can be one number or multiple numbers separated by the | symbol.
