Call Google Assistant Action from HA

Third party integrations

I would like for HA to call a Google Assistant Action (created with DialogFlow) to ask the user for some input, then (based on the conversation) have Google Assistant call an HA automation to execute a task.

I have successfully created an google assistant action using Google Dialog flow. The action asks a question, listens for an answer and then successfully triggers (via a Webhook) the HA automation.

Can initiate the action from the Google device (nest mini) by pronouncing the keywords.

I can also trigger the Google Assitant action from a web-page through an action link (https://console.actions.google.com/u/0/project/home-assistant-295415/actionlinks/, gives me the URL
https://assistant.google.com/services/invoke/uid/000000de3a749f84?hl=nl

Call in this URL from a web-browser gets me to a page where i can select the device the call should go to (and which then starts speaking).

How can I trigger this url (and the device to which to send to) in HA?

Use case: HA detects that the living room light is switched on and then have Google Mini ask “do you want to switch the kitchen light on too?”

Unfortunately, google assistant has to be called in order to listen in. It can “say” things on command, but not turn on the microphone on command.

And how about triggering a google assistant routine (issuing an “intent phrase”) through Assistant Relay? I’ve been toying around with that route, but no success yet.

Been scratching my head over the exact same issue - how to trigger dialogflow events/intents from HA and also have them play out on a specific assistant enabled device. I tried Assistant Relay as a workaround but it was a deadend too.

Did you find any working solution?

It should be possible, I think if you can get the Google Authentication right so you can fire off the action link and not get a “forbidden”, but up till now i have not got it working. Any help would be appreciated!
