[@artbecker5618]

Great video. Thank you again, Don.

[@mifo1133]

nice to hear..also include some home automation ..im using xiaomi yeelight for example. BTW you dont have to ask "ok google?" its listening 24/7?

[@NovaspiritTech]

thanks!!

[@treypop123]

I've been wanting a tutorial what is simple and easy to follow. thanks

[@lucaspagan3576]

Novaspirit Tech have you ever tried the banana pi or orange pi computers before?

[@shredderwoods]

Number of fucks given by Don for the monster joke = 0.000000 7:00

[@NovaspiritTech]

LOL!!!!!!

[@minecrafter0505]

I love how google redirects could-resource-manager to cloud-resource-manager xD

[@msmith719]

minecrafter0505 I was scrolling through the comments just to see if anyone else caught that.

[@nopparuj]

Google is smrat at atuocorekt! (Google is smart at autocorrect!)

[@parallaxggyt]

minecrafter0505 if you look at the webcam it was a cut not a redirect

[@nopparuj]

oh yes it is... He cut it.

[@Pennywise128]

It would be better if it redirected mybutt to cloud.

[@wowo-12]

excited for the future projects about the google assistant

[@ChicagoBob123]

PS Love your tutorials because you don't gloss over anything.

[@johnnythegeek]

Great video Don. Question about Bluetooth audio. On the raspberry pi 3, will google assistant audio come out of a Bluetooth speaker if I have that connected? Do I have to type any commands for Google assistant api to make the audio come out of the Bluetooth speakers?

[@ushasai3596]

can we make calls with a voice command?

[@atw98]

does this work with the RPi3 +b? it seems alot of stuff works on the B but not +b. Great video at just the right time for a project Im working on for Dementia patients. Can you set it so its always on also? Cheers mate Gus

[@the_raspberry_pi1570]

I think not i tried but is sees googlesamples.assistand as a unexecutable file so it cannot be opened

[@faraz_ahmad1889]

Great video, I was wondering; would you need to have to use the keyboard to say 'ok google' each time or can you just say 'ok google' to get her to respond?

[@tubeDude48]

Kudos! Excellent video! I like the passe, and show a full screen of the Pi so I can see what your entering. I have an Echo, (the tall one). Do you plan, or do you have the instructions for the echo? I saw one on KZbin, but as always, I couldn't get it to work because of damn API's!!! :( --- I always find API's a pain-in-the-ass to setup. I'm never sure what to check, name, etc. Can you help? Thanks!

[@jeffreywolff661]

Do I need to do all of these things or can I watch the voice activated video and it will still work?

[@rahulpillai2625]

Awesome DIY; can I configure this with the Google Home app on Android?

[@MALC0LMXX]

super legit, thanks for posting this, I was just watching a smart mirror creation that used Alexa but tbh is rather use Google assistant for the project and your video help immensely on how to get it set up. thanks!

[@juliendupont7162]

Good afternoon and Happy New Year !! I'm trying to get Google Assistant working properly on my laptop. Actually it is working properly but not with the language that I want. The major issue that I have is when I type googlesamples-assistant-hotword --project-id myprojectid --device-model-id mymodel I get the error in the title. But when I only enter googlesamples-assistant-hotword --device-model-id mymodel it works like a charm ! Of course I get the message "Your device is not registered blablabla". I already manually registered it with the tool provided by Google in the terminal. I do not know how to do I searched the web for every little solutions but none of them is working. Thanks for you help :) (I know that my issue is not on RPI but it's kinda similar actually someone could have faced this problem on RPI)

[@regularcoach3544]

Would love to see voice activation and house hold alliance triggers that would be so awesome

[@huede82]

Nice Video. Can you control chromecast on this way, like you can do it with the "original" google home thing?

[@JoshBagwell]

This has given me so many ideas! I wonder if it's possible to get the "OK, Google" hotkey working,

[@DerekHolmes]

looking forward to seeing voice activation working... once I see how to do that I'll probably jump in on this project.

[@alias2001]

great video tutorial! subbed! Question, is it ok to use the RPi Zero W for this project? And since zero has built-in bluetooth, will it work if I use a bluetooth hands free speaker for both mic and audio output?

[@NovaspiritTech]

my final thoughts is to put this on a pi zero w. i will post back with results

[@alias2001]

Novaspirit Tech Thanks. Looking forward to it. It's definitely better if we can use high quality bluetooth speakers for music enjoyment via voice command. Cheers!

[@alias2001]

Novaspirit Tech By the way, can it access everything like a regular Google Home? (ex. Light control, music, etc.).

[@alias2001]

Novaspirit Tech I tried installing it on Zero W last night but I think there's an issue with audio configuration with the python script. I wasn't able to open the google assistant application successfully.

[@alias2001]

I am getting this error message with Pi Zero W i.imgur.com

[@marciokoko1]

Ive been working on home automation with regular lights via RPI. Id like to know in this case, a webhook would have to be posted to the rpi itself, but that is always done through the router to the nginx ssl server and back to the rpi, right? So nothing would really change from the GoogleHome device setup I currently have except for the fact that now the rpi replaced the GH device itself and is posting to itself!

[@junabad3412]

Thanks Don, I was able to make it work. Your video just needs some updating as some of the terminal commands dont work like using "google-oauthlib-tool --client-secrets /home/pi/Downloads/client_secret_" instead of what you have used which is "python -m googlesamples.assistant.auth_helpers --client -secrets /home/pi/Downloads/client_secret_". I did some trial and error and finally made it work also using "googlesamples-assistant-pushtotalk" instead of "Python -m googlesamples.assistant" things like that. Am also a noobie in RPi and Python and stuff like that but i used to be using DOS way back then so am slowly adapting to the cool and neat Linux environment. Thanks again for your tutorials, just need some debugging once in a while when they have updated the environment and that is where the challenge is and then it makes you jump once you are able to make it work despite the fact. All the best and more power!

[@StianHill]

To al if you fail. skip --headless but keep ---save :) then you should be god

[@namanagarwal3241]

sir can u please elaborate i have an error "no module named googlesamples.assistant.auth_helpers"

[@JimProng]

Can I use a Pi 2? Loaned my Pi 3 to a neighbor who's away for another week and I'd like to use the 2 if it'll work. Great video and blog BTW.

[@claudioita9]

any updates on using a wake word, or using a trigger (with home assistant for example)?

[@georgejbaker]

hey have you seen the free Google AI kit that is free with issue 57 of the magpi magazine? looks well cool.

[@rezahosseini998]

Cool! Just wondering if it could be possible to do by using Android Things installed on Raspberry Pi and if needed Firebase?

[@Felix.Garcia]

I picked up the Google voice had the other day at microcenter for very cheap. After getting it set up, I noticed that Google wants you to put a payment method and perhaps it will cost money if it's used more than x amount of time. Does this suffer from the same problem? Where you will end up having to pay if you want to use this often?

[@conanlv8724]

Hi Don, thank you for doing this amazing video. I am looking forward further tutorials about interface and voice activation. :)

[@nimeshganatra9932]

It's a great information. Thanks for that. Can you please share some references for amazon device too ?

[@pranaystarkjr]

Instead of pressing enter key is there anyway to voice activation? Like Alexa

[@Dreyzo]

I hope so, I'm planning on trying that project but a voice activation is required for me

[@ChicagoBob123]

are you talking about googles SDK?

[@craigthom5120]

This is a sample provided by Google to demonstrate the API and SDK. Something other than the sample program could be triggered any number of ways.

[@jnevercast]

Pocketsphinx comes to mind. It can do always on listening and wait for a keyword, once it hears the keyword, stream the audio to Google.

[@dpoulterster]

Look at Snowboy. It is used for the always on listening part. github.com/warchildmd/google-assistant-hotword-raspi

[@HamRadioAdventures]

Awesome dude! Your videos rock!

[@therealkaetyn5931]

This is perfect! cannot wait to get my Pi in the mail.

[@IgnacioParravicini]

Hi! Did you manage to get the Ok Google activation? I have a couple of cool speakers I'd love to hook up with this... Also, this should work with the cheaper Zero, right?

[@NovaspiritTech]

Ignacio Parravicini check out my twitter, I've been posting my progress

[@davidhuang9732]

My friend is still waiting for AIY Projects kit and you guide me to make it works. Thanks a lot. BTW, can you guide me how to add a button instead of using Enter key?

[@NovaspiritTech]

David Huang I just finished with the last of the edits, the video with button trigger is coming soon

[@MelechFreedman]

Great tutorial. Would be interesting to know if you can change voices for different regions. I.e. I'm in uk. I would prefer an English UK instead of English US voice??

[@MakersMadLab]

Mike Freedman that would be sweet, at this time I don't think you can. I use UK Siri.

[@mallusreddy]

First of all I thank u for the very good informative tutorial.. Sir I am facing much difficulty in creating credtionals. It's asking for so many things please can u guide me sir

[@Apfelaktuell]

Is it possible to use the DIY Google Assistent like the original one? With Spotify music playback and Cast Support?

[@jasiekzar]

Hey, does GA for raspberry pie offer the same services as Google Home or an android phone GA? For instance can you control chromecast devices, just like on Google Home? (On a phone you can't)

[@danieldavies98]

This is what I want to know too lol!

[@seanblair2770]

no module named googlesamples.assistant.auth helpers HELP

[@increpeiottrainee8295]

I get same error

[@lagishettydheeraj290]

Same error bro

[@syndakazu]

same

[@channel-fd4kl]

same

[@adamlowery3440]

Sean Blair same:(

[@marcushuber3727]

when i'm executing "python -m googlesamples.assistant" i get a "sounddevice.PortAudioError: Error opening RawStream: Invalid sample rate" error... how can i fix that? edit: i found out that my mic has a maximal sample rate of 48000 Hz. is that too small?

[@JamesWIlkerson]

Did you make ay progress on this?

[@JamesWIlkerson]

I fixed it by going here and completing these steps... developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/prototype/getting-started-pi-python/configure-audio It worked right away thereafter.

[@ggdefgdfyutrefh]

Same error :C

[@rottison]

Thank you that page fixed my problem in under 5 minutes

[@ghassanaiyoub9163]

dude, since you are starting up a python file, always put a .py at the end... experienced python programer.. or type 'dir' in current directory and make sure you spelled it right.

[@gdaaps]

what about the hardware (mic and speakers)? What do you suggest?

[@piotrlobacz]

Does this work in parallel with other google assistant devices? If i ask google home to open garage door, will raspberry pi trigger the action? I don't really work raspberry pi to work individually.

[@RenanBenedicto]

Now we have to connect the raspberry on a bluetooth speaker (with mic) and then it will be a complete Google Home. But first, how to activate the api using the voice (like Ok google) instead using the Return key ?

[@BiswajitPaul66]

Can you also tell the details of all connections like Mic, Speaker, and others device

[@denniswilliamsjr5646]

Hey Novaspirit Tech have you discovered how to setup routines that work for raspberry pi 3?

[@shawnwong7086]

hello，i just have a Pi 2. Watch your video,i dont konw whats the hardware i need? microphone? speaker?.........

[@CarlosSpicyWeener]

I'm looking at links in the description. You noted all links in the video would be listed there. I don't even see the first one to google's cloud resource manager. ? :(

[@rajeshdansena]

You are champ. This is what i was looking for. Thanks!

[@yashkrishan9771]

can you tell how to do particular task on some particular command using google voice recognition.

[@cbob213]

Hey mate, im getting stuck with this error. Wondering if you can help me out /home/pi/env/bin/python: No module named googlesamples.assistant.auth_helpers i installed the SDK and followed everything step by step twice now. The auth_helpers isnt in the directory either. maybe its not downloaded now when installed or something? its been a while since you put up this tutorial. any advice would be much appreciated.

[@vanila2012]

I'm thinking of getting Google assistant but didn't the device capable of doing things you expected it to instead need raspberry Pi connect to do that?

[@censrd]

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered but will this work on the model b?

[@Asimov16]

I am wanting to do something similar, but I don't want to use google assistant. Also I want to program it in C++ as I hate pyhton LOL. Nice video btw

[@PabloGarcia-yo3es]

6:55 the face after the joke hahaah nice video!

[@marciokoko1]

Have you tried this with a rpi0? I ask because of the lack of audio-input on the rpi0

[@kebab20]

Can i after this, connect on it with Google home app? And use it like regular google home speaker?

[@tamir5940]

Do you have to pay for this service? And do you need the google aiy kit?

[@karthikeyanravichandran6896]

Hey is there possible to control the sensors(non-google products) and switches using the google assistant in the raspberry pi

[@jrcrulida]

Just a quick question...how did you record your Pi desktop?

[@abhijitkushwaha5615]

do we have to connect it to moniter always or it will start autommatically after switching it on.

[@uwaisshahzad9939]

I get this error no modules named googlesamples.assistant.auth_helpers pls help me

[@bib1439]

me too bruh, did you fixed it?

[@alextvmobil]

@@bib1439 same here, any fixes ?

[@br0k3nilluzion]

awesome.. was waiting for something like this!!

[@nitinpavaskar1601]

Is this the same procedure which can be used for google speech api in Raspberry pi????

[@ghettokon]

Hey Don, thanks for this video, and all the details, I have a question, how customizable is this assistant, say if I want to design a conversation to trigger an IoT device, would that be possible?

[@jnevercast]

Google and IFTTT are integrated. support.google.com/googlehome/answer/7194656?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

[@maletzkya]

Really nice, had to create .asoundrc file to connect my mic but great howto. Tnx.

[@justchecking586]

Can this work with RASPBIAN JESSIE LITE? on a Raspberry Pi 1? I have an old PI 1 knocking about so would like to use that. thanks

[@fluked1576]

I wouldn't see why not, just make sure your internet is decent

[@Robber7]

Can this communicate and cast to a chromecast? I'm thinking of doing this, but I want to know if it's possible before I buy a chromecast

[@suhith5755]

I've been getting the following error : Oserror:[Errno 98] Address already in use Plz help me fixing this

[@sainalla7642]

How to get the voice by recognizing the face by connecting the rassberry pi.for example if our face is sleepy then the voice is sir you are sleepy. Plzz reply sir

[@marciokoko1]

Now with this you would need a google cloud account, right?

[@SivaramanSubramanian]

Hi, Thank for the tutorial. I got everything setup and finally for all the questions the only reply is "Actually there are some Basic settings that need your permission first ". Kindly help me pass through this.

[@fahadahmed480]

hey sivaraman i just wanna ask a question that have you successfully made it yet or not and if yes then can you please help me too in making it? i will be very grateful to you

You can use this description: github.com/googlesamples/assistant-sdk-python/tree/master/google-assistant-sdk

[@vascom5397]

László Kocsis what commands? Can't find it

[@justchecking586]

trouble is now a few commands don't work, JSON says google samples doesn't exist when I installed them. I tried Mycroft AI and it worked straight out of the box however its no where near as good as Google Assistant. In Mycroft you can configure it to work as google assistant with the API - I can't get this to work either, perhaps Don can do some more videos, it looks so easy when he does it. Thanks

[@shuddR]

Which raspberry pi is required for this? Can I do it on an old pi?

[@johnjohn9322]

Great work! Can you make a video how clean unnecessary files in linux/raspbian?

[@crhis4089]

trigger a light would be awesome!!!

[@bobewu9959]

do you have a tutorial on how to change google assistant voice and how you call it?

[@ExclemationMark]

is there also a way to change Google Assistant to another language, like say Dutch?

[@wally19]

is possible to control my chromecast as i do with my google home mini?

[@clearwavepro100]

Wonderful, thank you for making and sharing this!!

[@troublemaker9157]

Can I use the mic in my USB headphone instead of using USB microphone?

[@akhilraj.2291]

Hi there. I'am trying to integrate google assistant into my smart mirror. Generated the API changed the config file. But when I npm start the assistant responds only on start up and then it says " there was some problem try when your ready". I would really appreciate some help

[@budandbean1]

Man, this is so cool, can't wait for the next ones, I just gotta get a little more Pi... :-)

[@surajsawant6469]

hi I have done it till u showed, it's running well but when I have made it headless but after reboot it just doesn't work. I checked the service which was in running state. any help. i m using pi 1 b+. I wish to make a smart mirror along with assistant so I need to start it after boot without any manual command interaction.

[@moritzmuller8105]

Does google cloud platform cost anything using this method or is it free

[@anon8723]

/home/pi/env/bin/python: No module named googlesamples.assistant.auth_helpers Please help me all the fixes below do not work... I really want this to work. I have checked all my grammar and mistakes, please help me!

If the interface can be made into a daemon, this would be a good addition to a smart mirror setup.

[@akira_infty]

hey would there be a way to integrate this into mich's magic mirror???

[@theworldofcartoon5243]

Did this program run without the laptop?

[@lxgrx4]

i have this problem too. Has anyone found the solution to this :(

[@klkocsislaszlo]

You can use this description: github.com/googlesamples/assistant-sdk-python/tree/master/google-assistant-sdk

[@andrey00100]

Its possible to use this without microphone ? only with text

[@JamesFosterSailing]

probably a stupid question, but will this work on a rasberry pi zero?

[@viniz4da539]

Does it just works on Raspberry pi 3? Or can i use on Raspberry pi 2?

[@diogo157x]

Is it possible to use it in another idiom like Spanish?

[@leomeyer9537]

Great production quality

[@dianlinux]

super yose que muestras todo en el video el tema de la plataforma de google no soy experto en el tema pero es algo muy curioso con la pi

[@JxckSweeney]

Id like to point out you don't have full abilities as a normal google home it doesn't show up in a the home app so u can't ask it to play music. When u ask to play something on your chrome cast it just says a error so idk
