Google Assistant command as a starter to trigger webhook that returns text to speak on a Nest Mini

Gibb95 — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 08:22:45 GMT

Hi all! 👋

Goal:

How can I setup a Google Assistant command as a starter to trigger a webhook that returns text to speak on a Google Nest Mini device?

e.g. I want to say "Power status" to my Nest Mini, which results in an HTTP request to my API which returns the power outage schedule as text, which I want my Nest Mini to speak/announce.

Context:

I've tried to build a Smart Home fulfillment app with Node.js. e.g.

Codelab: https://developers.home.google.com/codelabs/smarthome-washer#1

Fulfillment: https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/primer/fulfillment

I've implemented the codelab as a starting point to modify for my needs.

I'm having trouble making progress because I don't know how to get my Google Nest Mini device ID in order to trigger an action.

I also can't get the EXECUTE callback to trigger after speaking using Google Assistant to my Google Nest Mini.

Does anyone have any suggestions/alternatives to achieve the desired behavior, or know what the problem could be with my Node.js app?

I'm happy to provide more detail and have a more technical chat!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏

I would definitely be interested in this script. If we can get a general shell created, then we can basically make any api calls and get the response to our nest hub. That would be insane.
