Possible to connect Fronius Inverter and/or SolarWeb to Google Home?

[Brendanc]

Hi,

I'm trying to find out if it's possible to connect a Fronius Inverter and/or the SolarWeb portal to Google Home. Has anyone been able to do this?

I'd like to write automations to start certain appliances (i.e. washing machine, tumble dryer, pool pump) when the solar system is generating sufficient power. I have found how to link the inverter to HomeAssistant but would prefer to go direct to Google Home if possible

cheers,
