      Thanks for the info.
      I do indeed already use MMM-RemoteControl for manual control and plan on using it for the actual control of the mirror.
      Concerning communication between the processes i’m looking at letting the js module spawn the python google assistant as a child process and communicate using process piping.
      This would make it way easier to run the module as the user would not need to manage multiple applications.

          Just to let you know, i managed to integrate the assistant application as a python child process running in is own virtualenv which is created using npm, limiting the amount of installation steps required by users.

          Now the fun part starts, handling commands from the assistant and implementing fancy animations :)
