Google Home / Amazon Alexa bindings

[Daniel_Hermann]

Daniel

This has two big benefits over using a alexa hosted app. One is that it is super fast, control is done over the local network and not from the cloud. Two is that there is no wake word, you just say “Turn lights ON” or “Set Thermostat to 70”. This s…

Google Home has a public API so I imagine it will not be long before there is a binding. But given it has only been out for a month or so there is nothing available yet.
