One of the “cool” things i used to do with IFTTT, back when it was still free, is setup a bunch of custom phrases to use with my google home. Most of the time i used webhooks to trigger something in HA.
Once IFTTT went to its paid model, I ditched them all.
I know there are a heap of modules for NodeRed and google assistant, but most of them seem to be about device control, or simulating a device to trigger a flow.
Is there any way to trigger a flow based on custom phrases, or a call and response ?
It might be best illustrated with an example. One of my use cases is around presence
“Hey google, where is $?”
use $? to lookup the person state, return that response back to the google speaker as a response.
“$? is at home/work/away/some other place”
