Hi Sean
I only have ideas that i have seen on other sites where Google home has been installed on a Raspberry. There is a file In the link below at Step 7 that one might used as an idea on how to manage it. Not sure if i am allowed to post links to other sites other than Github and this forum?

And then there is also in the middle of the following page a way of doing it with a heading
“Bonus: Voice Activated GPIO”

My slate is clean other than this :-(
