Google Smarthome Actions for Arduino ESP8266
This project can be used to provide on-device Google Assistant support to Arduino projects based on the ESP8266 without an extra bridge. The library is intended to be used in a single-user environment as its OAuth 2.0 implementation provides no real user authentication and always uses the same strings as tokens. It handles the requests made by the Google servers like described in their guide. As this library handles no authentication it is recommended to place the endpoints behind a reverse proxy with an enabled authentication mechanism (e.g. HTTP Basic). The intent fulfillment requests are handled by the library while the query handling needs to be implemented.
It uses the ESP8266WebServer to process the requests and ArduinoJson to parse their contents.
Usage
For a working example see the examples folder of this repository. To use a device with Google, a Google Actions project has to be created in the console.
The main function is:
void setup(
String authRoute,
String tokenRoute,
String fulfillmentRoute,
String googleClientId,
String googleClientSecret,
String projectId,
String tokenAuth,
String tokenRefresh,
String tokenAccess,
String sync(),
String query(String id),
String execute(String id, String command, JsonVariant params),
void disconnect()
)
authRoute
A route of the authorization endpoint. Returns the authorization token (tokenAuth) to Google. E.g. /auth.
tokenRoute
A route of the token exchange endpoint. Exchanges the authorization token for the refresh (tokenRefresh) and access (tokenAccess) token. E.g. /token.
fulfillmentRoute
A route where Google sends intent fulfillment requests to. E.g. /.
googleClientId
The string identifying Google as the user of the OAuth server.
googleClientSecret
The secret string sent by Google alongside token exchange requests.
projectId
The project id from the Google Actions Console.
tokenAuth
A string to be used as the authorization token. Should be non-guessable and kept private.
tokenRefresh
A string to be used as the refresh token. Should be non-guessable and kept private.
tokenAccess
A string to be used as the access token. Should be non-guessable and kept private.
sync()
Invoked when Google sends an action.device.SYNC query.
Shall return the content of the payload object (which includes the device information including their id's which can be made up).
query(deviceId)
Invoked when Google sends an action.device.QUERY query.
Shall return the content of the payload object for the given device (which includes the device state).
execute(deviceId, command, params)
Invoked when Google sends an action.device.EXECUTE query. Shall execute the given command for the given device and return the current device state object.
disconnect()
Invoked when Google sends an action.device.DISCONNECT query. Returns nothing.
