A raspberry pi turned into a Google Home, and it works!

Third party integrations

yes I have 4 Echos, but frankly I prefer my (only one) Google Home. So if I can put a GH in everyroom, I think is pretty cool

Do I have to undo my Alexa settings? I have the Pi-Google Home working but want to integrate it too!

61

I setup (or think I did) HA-Bridge on the same RPi I have Google-Home running on. HA-Bridge can see my devices but I cannot get GH to control them. I tried the GH app and it is not finding any devices as well.

Am I missing something or does this not work yet?

62

I use emulated hue also for Alexa. Not the ha Bridge

63

Use this, is great

i got it working now and actually with little trouble.

the only trouble i have is that i need to restart appdaemon when i restart HA, so i need to figure that out.

but at this moment i can do this kind of conversation:

me> Alexa mach assistant an. (i need to speak in german to Alexa)
me> translate livingroom to dutch (i need to speak english to google)
google assistant> woonkamer (the response is in dutch)

follow up questions are also a bit buggy for now.
i am trying to get that right.

oke, i uploaded the appdaemon app to use google assistant with an input_boolean in HA.

can be found here.

Can I use a switch to invoke the Google Assistant?

an input_boolean.
when it is turned on you can talk, after the conversation it automaticly turns off.

off course you can also use any kind of automation to turn the input_boolean on.
for instance:

open a door and say “hello i am home” to google

its actualy the same, but maybe you understand the instructions better :wink:

here you find install instructions.

Not sure if this is of interest, but I will be buying a copy for the Google Voice kit…! https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/google-aiy-voice-magpi-57/

Pretty cool, but imo pointless needing a button to activate rather than “hey google” voice activation

MagPi folks said one could “program” to use wake word…but no detail

83

You could use snowboy to do it or pocket sphinx.

84

Magic mirror, for?

85

Does this allow multi room synced music as the original Google home?

86

not yet, I think will come

87

There are a few variants out there as well.

Wake word
