Google-Assistant-SDK-Broadlink-RM-Pro

Modification Gogole Assistant SDK on Raspberry Pi with Broadlink RM Pro

Requirement

• Google Assistant on Raspberry Pi https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/prototype/getting-started-pi-python/
• Python control for Broadlink RM2 IR controllers https://github.com/mjg59/python-broadlink

To make Google Assistant run on startup:

sudo chmod +x launch-assistant.sh
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Add python /home/pi/googleassistant.py

To learn and save IR code for each button

1. create folder ir_codes in /home/pi
2. run ir.py
3. enter button name

Since Google Assistant run on Python 3 but Broadlink API run on Python 2, I cannot establish a connection with Broadlink device by Google Asssitant SDK during start so I have to wrote autocheck_ir_command.py to check the IR command from text file every 1 second in background. The IR command is created by Google Asssitant in main.py There might be a better way around to do this though.

Location of main.py: /home/pi/env/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/google/assistant/
