Hi all,
I have recently purchased a Google AIY Voice Kit which works fine when I follow the instructions provided with the magazine. I also purchased a Philips Hue A60 Starter Kit which I understood I could ‘easily’ control with Google Home. Little did I know that the verison of Google Assistant that you install on the Raspberry Pi is not the same as the Google Home and you can’t just link up Wifi with a few clicks. Nor can you just connect things like Google Music etc. so it plays music on demand. I have very very little programming experience with Python and next to no experience with Raspberry Pi’s, so the more I read into these project the more overwhelming this all seems.
So my question is can this even be done by someone like me, with no programming/networking experience? If so, could someone point me in the direction of step by step instructions for a complete novice who wants to use a Raspberry Pi 3 and a Google Voice AIY kit to control a Philips Hue light?
