<![CDATA[Google Assistant won't register.]]>I’m trying to install the google assistant sdk and i’m having trouble registering the device.

When I go to enter this command:

googlesamples-assistant-devicetool register-model --manufacturer my-manufacturer
–product-name my-product-name [–description my-product-description]
–type device-type [–trait supported-trait] --model my-model

at terminal via ssh I get back googlesamples-assistant-devicetool command not found.

I followed all the directions on this page Google Assistant on Magic Mirror so I don’t know what I don’t have installed.

Anyone who’s installed the google assistant SDK please advise!

I ended up jumping over here:

https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/library/python/

and just going through the Google instructions in detail. Once you have the demo software working (audio only, without MM integration), it was fairly easy to sew them together and get it working on the mirror as well. I used my Jabraspeak USB speakerphone, which registered as card 1, device 0 on both the speaker and mic.

Have a scratch pad of some sort handy (OneNote, Notepad, etc) to track the various keys you will generate along the way. Once you get everything onboard, the sequence is boot the Pi (I have pm2 set to autostart the Mirror), connect vis SSH then start the virtual environment (source env/bin/activate), drill down to the pi folder (cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant/pi) and start the assistant.py file (python3 assistant.py).

I took the better part of a weekend. ymmv.
