Using Google Assistant SDK

dwysauce

Hey, I finally made an account for this. I’m excited to be a part of the community. I’m almost done with the frame on my first magic mirror!

Anyways, to the point. Today, Google announced the general availability of the Google Assistant SDK. Who’s going to be the first person to get it running with MM2?

If no one gets to it by the time I finish my mirror, that may be the first project I use to dive into MM2 development. Anyone else excited for this?

Here’s a video on the launch Here’s a video on the launch that specifically mentions the raspberry pi.

I am very interested in it. A developer team at google has already published instructions on how to add it to a Pi. Are you going to try and make a module or are you going to have it run in the back ground?

I went to the link you provided. Is there any progress? I have the orginal MagPi issue 57 kit I purchased from Adafruit. It has the original Pi 3 B audio hat, cardboard, instructions, everything. Is there anything I can do to help or test? I am more of a hardware person than a software guy. I am learning Python 2.7, however. Used to be good at DOS and Basic back in the day.

@AB_Normal BTW, I am VERY excited to see the two joined together. I would LOVE to approach a blank screen and say, ¨OK Google, show me my home screen"or somthing like that and see my MMM. Then say, ¨OK google, show me my Calendar for today"then a window with my Google gmail calendart shows up. Or say, ÖK Google, schedule a calendar event on December 13th at 7 PM for Family reunion Or some such thing. It would make the mirror truely MAGIC and dynamic.

Unfortunately, Currently Google Assistant doesn’t support private Action. It means you cannot control your mirror without public cloud hub service. And, there is nothing for that currently.

@Sean Thanks for letting us know. Too bad, that would have been my next step in configuring my mirror.

I guess I should find out how I can rotate stuff on the mirror then…

Hello,

there is also GassistPi

https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi

It can include instructions for the MagicMirror.

It has been about two months since I use it and I am very happy.

That will rotate MM modules? That is what @muffinimal was talking about

Thanks @Chris and @Mykle1!

You both provided me with more than I was able to find on my own (that is: nothing relevant).

I’ll stop hijacking this topic and check the above modules out :D

Chris

@mykle1

the basic instructions posted in the wiki are:

You can control the Magic Mirror running on a Magic Mirror running on the same pi as GassistPi.
As a prerequisite, you should have the remote control module installed in the Pi running Magic Mirror.
Enter the Ip address of Pi running Magic Mirror in the main.py script against the variable "mmmip" declared.

Command Syntax:
To show / hide weather module: "Hey Google, Show / Hide Weather on Magic Mirror"

To turn magic mirror display on / off: "Hey Google, Turn Mirror Magic display on / off"

To power off / reboot / restart Magic Mirror: "Hey Google, Power Off / Reboot / Restart Magic Mirror"

So, I think it must be possible to add orders.

Very nice! :)

I’m curious if there’s any consensus on the best assistant integration out there right now. Should I go with the assistant kit, just one of the modules (I’m gathering the Gassist one above?).
