Google assistant compatible devices? Can HS control those devices?

[Kdiamond]

Hi.

I know GA can control HS devices. But what about the other way around. There are many Google assistant compatible devices. Can I make HS events controlling it?

Thank you

No, there is no ability for HS to control those.

There isn't any kind of a direct interface, but if the Google device was also controllable by IFTTT, maybe you could use that to control the Google device from HomeSeer. And many Google devices also have another interface which might be a way of controlling them - i.e., if there's a HomeSeer plugin that works on the other interface - such as a Nest thermostat or the like.

Another option would be to use Google Assistant Routines to control the device and also control a HomeSeer (virtual) device. It means using a different Hey Google command but doesn't require anything more than Google Assistant and HomeSeer.
