Home Automation with Android Things and the Google Assistant

on YouTube ↗48m

" summary

Shows how to replace an expensive Hue bridge by building an Android Things bridge on a Raspberry Pi that listens to Firebase Cloud Firestore updates and drives cheap $10 Chinese BLE bulbs via Bluetooth Low Energy. Demonstrates Actions on Google → Google Cloud Functions that validate OAuth2, send sync/execute/query JSON, update Firestore; Firestore triggers a LiveData listener on the Pi which writes the exact BLE byte sequences discovered with a Bluetooth HCI capture to change color. Everything works end-to-end.
