Hi!
Have anyone succeeded in installing the google assistant software on a rpi - that also works as an roon endpoint?
i my living room i have a roon endpoint running on a rpi with a hifiberry amp. this plays sound in our ceiling speakers - and we are very happy with that.
i like the google assistant - but it would be nice to avoid having to buy one - if i could simply use it side by side with my existing setup.
so my idea was that i would be able to say “OK Google” - and then it should “pause” roon - and instead start the google dialog flow.
just like it does on our existing google speakers - which also works with roon :).
i know that the rpi will work with google assistant.
but what i am not sure on - is what will happen if roon is playing - while trying to activate the voice assistant.
Hi Greg!
I am an avid HA user - and i really enjoy the Roon integration.
in my dedicated listening room - i use the roon app.
but 90% of the time - i use HA to start a radio-station or playlist directly from HA - in all the other rooms.
In our main living room - i use an old rpi3 - with the hifiberry amp on - that works great with 2 ceiling mounted 8" full tone speakers.
i use the ropieee xl image - which has the dlna addon - that i use for TTS announcement.
but off course -this only works - as long as roon is not playing.
i can pause the player - before making announcements - but it only works sometimes -because roon - tends to look onto the outout.
so if i start playing with the google home assistant - i would somehow have to “pause” roon - as soon as the “OK Google” keyword as played. unless i can “share the alsa output”.
