So like many others, I’ve started using Assist a lot more this weekend, not that wake words are official. I’ve looked an old Jabra 510 conference speaker into the PC with HA on, and it works great. Now I’m on a mission to try and replicate as many things as possible, that I tend to use Google Assistant for.
Here’s the main ones I use often:
- control lights, blinds and robots (mostly figured out in Assist)
- ask for the status of various sensors (ongoing in Assist)
- ask for the weather (is this possible with Assist?)
- play music from Spotify (is this possible in Assist?)
So I thought I’d ask you clever lot for some help on my mission!
I’ll start by just asking for one of the above first. If I want to ask Assist for a weather update, and get a response as a spoken response, how do I do this? I use the AccuWeather integration (if it helps to know). Does anyone have a sample code I could use? I thought I’d start with this one, as it’s something the wife uses Google for a lot (happy wife, happy life!).
Thanks in advance, and looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
