Chomecast with Google TV: Works with Home Assistant app, Fully Kiosk, CATT, browser_mod.navigate

Just figured out that if you have CEC on your TV you can both turn on/off the TV/Chromecast and even open apps via the Google Assisstant Webserver (have tested with Fully Kiosk Browser and Homwe Assistant). That’s nice!

Community Hass.io Add-on: Google Assistant Webserver (broadcast messages without interrupting music)

Hello everyone! Just recently, I was able to successfully get my add-on for the text-based Google Assistant working on Hass.io. Here is the add-on repo: Once installed, the setup is similar to https://home-assistant.io/addons/google_assistant/ So, it needs the google_assistant.json file added to /share Also, it follows the same OAuth setup. Once completely running and set up, you can broadcast a text message to your Google Home devices using: http://hassio.local:5000/broadcast_message…

in config:

notify:
  - name: Google Assistant
    platform: rest
    resource: http://192.168.1.xxx:5000/broadcast_message
  - name: Google Assistant Command
    platform: rest
    resource: http://192.168.1.xxx:5000/command

in script:

tv_on:
  sequence:
  - service: notify.google_assistant_command
    data_template:
      message: open Fully kiosk browser app on Living Room TV
