Google Actions (Smart Home App)

Third party integrations
1

Is anyone working on integrating HASS to Google Assistant using the Smart Home apps feature - https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/ ?

Sounds like the perfect thing to make HASS the centre of all home automation. Who knows - this could even get published as an official Google Assistant partner app. That would be an awesome moment for HASS imho.

I see that someone is working on building this into OpenHAB at the moment - https://community.openhab.org/t/google-home-actions-api-now-available/17917/46

Not much up to speed on open source dev but happy to test/feedback if someone is already working on this. Hoping to make some time to play with the node js sample - https://github.com/actions-on-google/actionssdk-smart-home-nodejs

I tried setting up a python based server to connect to Google Actions. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the OAUTH2 authorization to work.

Using flask and flask-oauthlib and the oauth flow was based off the sample in flask-oauthlib.

The nodejs sample from Google is a bit too much for me. Not sure if I can modify it to work with HASS.

There is a PR (#9632) in the works.

That sounds awesome!! Hopefully, HA will eventually also have some sort of reverse proxy function so this can become a proper Google Smart Home app. I am guessing the first few iterations will require users setting up individual projects in test mode.

You will need to setup SSL on your domain and hit it at https://mydomain.duckdns.org.
Here is a good guide on doing so https://youtu.be/BIvQ8x_iTNE
