Google Home Smart Home integration

Question

Alexa has two kind of Skills: Custom and Smart Home. Smart Home Skills support a predefined API to interact with smart home devices (lights, etc). I can't find anything close to this in the documentation for Google Smart Home. Should I have to develop all the dialogs from scratch or Google have something already done?

Answer 1

Google now has a special kind of action called Smart Home App. It's similar to Alexa's smart home skill.

You can find its document here: https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/

To create a smart home app, follow the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/create-app

Hope this will help you out. Good Luck.
