#86773 Actually this is the second story on how to have the ESP32 send data to the Google Home assistant.

Normally you ask your assistant to set the light on, start the ventilator, pump etc etc.
This is the other way round.

By pressing a key the ESP32 (using a special library) sends data to your Google Home Assistant.
So press the button and your assistant will tell you the temperature in your mancave.
Or attach a sensor and let the Assitant tell you that there is an intruder.
Or give a warning on your assistant when a water level reaches a certain point. etc. etc.

Full schematics and code on my weblog.
Easily adaptable for many purposes.

#87004 Great project. The idea of Google Assistant as a voice interface to accepting commands and interface to read out data is brilliant being a Google hone user myself.

You have any idea if the architecture already? Are you planning to use MQTT? There's a new service called Nora that may also help depending on what you're planning to do
