Can Hubitat Control Devices via Google Home?

Thanks for responding Keith.

I want to control automation on Google Home through an HE user app via Google Assistant Silent commands.

First several Koolertron smart outlets for Christmas.

When I click the link above and copied here:

  • It is an Outside App to silently control Google Assistant.
  • It also references using a Raspberry Pi
  • I want to silently control devices connected to Google Home via Google Assistant.

When I read the documentation it appears you need to use a Raspberry Pi and you would need to change your "Silent Commands" to match what you have assigned them in Google Home.

In order of confusion:

  1. Do I need a Raspberry Pi for that app to work with HE or does it work on HE or can I use an always on PC? If a PC, any differences between using a Raspberry Pi that I should be aware of?
  2. Would a simple edit and replace work for updating device names throughout the app or do you just edit certain words that reference the device?

Once I have an idea on how to start, I'll reply back with what I needed to do for the next guy or possibly have to ask another question.

Thanks in advance.

I had just started following links and reading the topic knowing where I wanted to go but not realizing that without someone else doing the same the question becomes opaque.
