Integrating Smart Home Devices with the Google Assistant

I already have Google assistant controlled light, fan and my front door with MQTT. 😁

"Ok, Google is my smart Fan still on?" "Sorry I can't understand you because your Fan is for real on"

I wonder what google assistant would have said on listening to "ok google, wow! that's really hot."

CLEEEEWD SERVICE…

Hey google, I'm working on a homemade smart car, and I would like to put android auto for the media and maps integration, how can I contact you? Looking forward to it…

Please beep out hotwords!!

Will google assistant ever understand "g suite"?

I mean.. I would like to watch this kind of stuff, but seriously drop the hey Google .. obviously we own them or we wouldn't be here.. I mean just mute yourself, I am tired of content providers not thinking about this.. I do not want to mute my house everytime I see a video I want to watch. Thank you for making the content, just a year later it gets old..

<happy birthday …. dearie @$@/>
Please , continue to Celebrate BDTime……

@Google Developers Still doesn't explain how I use the Google assistant on my phone to turn my lights off…

Good video and info…i think. You really should get somebody to speak more clearly and intelligebly or teach him to. Sorry if that was a bit harsh, but we want to understand.

For those of you struggling to have a beginner tutorial, or how to get started with this : I started with this great tuto : http://nilhcem.com/android-things/google-assistant-smart-home the fact is that this is not as simple as it seems on the video. You need yo build two things, first of all an Oauth2 server (which is mainly designed for production purposes so you can use a less secure one as shown in the link above if you plan to use this for a DIY project), this server will give a token for the google assistant to talk to the backend you also need to create. The backend have to parse the command sent with your assistant, do something of your choice (like turning the light on/off), and then answer back to the google that the request has been executed correctly. If you have any question, I can answer them so you do not have to struggle like I did to find some crucial info.

I am kinda delimma. I am interested to learn smart home development but I can't decide should I invest my time to PLC? Google Action? Or OpenHab?

Now connect it to your christmas lights with a smart plug and "tada"

had to included the 'wake' terms in your examples didn't you? Remedial!

ahahaahah apple's computer

I love my home automation but I would like to control it myself so for the love of god please mute the "Hey Google" because I have a lot of devices connected and my house goes nuts everytime I watch a video about the Google Assistant, product testers are good enough to mute themselves!

Horrible for home automation. Can not bridge my 2.4 Ghz devices with my pixel to Google wifi.

Do you know that you can mute the "Ok" from "ok google" like the rest of the great videos on youtube ?

We can do this via IFTTT by directly saying "ok google. switch on the kitchen light". But without IFTTT when I am trying to create an home control action in google assistant, I should say "Talk to $MyApp" first and then continue with the conversation for eg. "ok google. turn off the kitchen light". How this can be possible with single sentence by directly say to google assisant "ok google. switch on the kitchen light" without saying "Talk to $MyApp"

Good video mate,
I appologise in advance because this is a bit of an edited brainstorm more than a comment, but maybe you will understand what I'm asking better than a generic scripted customer assistance person.

I am electrician and I intend to buy a Google home for testing on an old house I have, I'd like to automate everything in the home. (And later charge for other people's installations)
I'm experienced in control circuits and PLCs as well as domestic, commercial and industrial installations.

However there is a bit of a knowledge gap between developers and installers.

does google recognise variable switching commands like say, multiple fan speeds, or light dimming?
I can buy a "smart" dimming switch or fan controller for the GH.
will google recognise, "set fan speed to 3" or "dim the lights to half brightness"?
I assume the smart device will transmitt a list of its available functions to the google home program.
But how do i access a full list of commands and functions of GH as an installer? There seems to be no material to bridge the gap between:
"programmers and manufacturers" >> "electricians (the people who can wire the houses legally)"

I found a lot of generic devices that are cheap, but I haven't seen the limitations of google home yet.
I think that is why I haven't seen anyone who can wire a house and integrate this technology fully without expensive 3rd party devices that only the end user would purchase example: $200 smart lamp (when an electrician would use a "generic $5 smart switch or smart switch and relay")

This monetary difference is what will stop the average home builder automating their new home with the GH device.

I know i would be able to implement this much more cost effectively than current home automation systems that people use (and we sell)
There really is no limit to what I can make something do with physical control circuits, I just want to know how flexible can I get with voice commands.

what I need is an "final installers kit" whereby it's more of a user interface and materials nessecary for testing installation designs as opposed to 'creating new devices' or the 'end user interface' in Google home.
Electricians need a way to implement this tech and make it more mainstream, we are after all the people licenced to do the work.
The problem is the material available is for programmers and manufacturers. We need materials on the full limitations and command abilities and how we can use those abilities as installers for design and construct applications in the real world.
We also need a communications channel between ourselves and the google home developers, if say a voice command lacks an appropriate function.
At the end of the day, we have to quote a price, and without all the materials who can say how long it will take to automate a house with Google home? I'm sure experience will answer this and I aim to gain that experience but any materials would be of great benefit.

Please cut the audio when using the hot words….. My house starts going crazy and I don't want to go around to each room to mute it just to watch this.
