Text Based Queries

[Sireone]

So it seems that Google updated their Assistant API to now support Text Based Queries. I guessing we could have Homeseer send a text query and have the Chromecast device output the answer via voice. It would be nice to have an event trigger at 7am and send the text "Hey Google, How's may day?" then have the Chromecast respond with the appropriate verbiage.

AM I understanding this correctly? Spud, is this doable?

well, the chromecast API and the assistant API are 2 different things, so it's a little out of scope for this plugin, but I will investigate more and see what's possible to do with the assistant API.
