Google Assistant is an AI-powered voice assistant that runs on the Raspberry Pi and x86 platforms. and interact with [API.ai] with Home-Assistant.
To enable access to the Google Assistant API, do the following:
- In the Cloud Platform Console, go to the Projects page. Select an existing project or create a new [project]
- Enable the Google Assistant [API] on the project you selected
- Create a [service account][serviceaccount] and download the json credentials.
Now install and activate the [Samba] add-on so you can upload your credential file. Connect to the "share" Samba share and copy your training data over. Name the file service_account.json.
Now it's time to start Snips for the first time. When the Google Assistant add-on starts, it will output your audio devices:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA]
Subdevices: 8/8
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
Subdevice #2: subdevice #2
Subdevice #3: subdevice #3
Subdevice #4: subdevice #4
Subdevice #5: subdevice #5
Subdevice #6: subdevice #6
Subdevice #7: subdevice #7
card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 1: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
You need to use this information to configure the mic and speaker configuration options. The format is <card #>,<device #>. On a Raspberry Pi 3, 0,0 is the built-in headset port, 0,1 is the HDMI port.
Now that you've found the microphone and speaker addresses, it's time to configure Google Assistant and restart the add-on.
