Question - What are you doing in place?

I noticed on your readme that you say that you have fully migrated to HA, so you don't need this now....I am acutally using this in conjunction with HA to be able to "broadcast" around the house, using the correct way, (that doesn't kill playing music and such)..
I am wondering what you are now doing/using if you are no longer using this approach? as this still seems to be the best to me...
I tried asking the same thing on Twitter and haven't heard anything. I'm curious too.
I would also like to know.
@greghesp I'm also an HA user who is curious how you're approaching this now. I use this feature quite a bit for broadcasting announcements (green house is too hot, washing machine is done etc) and don't want to use HA's TTL service because it interrupts music that might be playing. Happy to drop this project if there's a better way!
Also interested if anyone finds something
Has anyone tried this approach?
I just found it, will try this week.
Hi all,
Starting with Home Assistant 2023.1 you are able to use the Google Assistant SDK directly from Home Assistant. I'm currently using the beta and I'm able to broadcast from Node-Red using the Home Assistant service.

At last I'm able to shutdown this container. Thanks for your hard work @greghesp

Ahh fantastic news. I thought this was a WIP as spotted it the code.
Can confirm that I was able to do the same a few days ago after switching to the beta. Was waiting a few days in order to suggest it as a replacement. So far I'm extremely happy.
Yep, seems to work nicely in HA, no need for this, or the arm docker image I built anymore... :)
I confirm I have installed and configured this with the 2023.1 version and it is working great. Thanks again to everyone that contributed to this project!
I just wanted to mention that I also found another version of a similar project that I never got around to installing or testing at https://github.com/AndBobsYourUncle/hassio-addons/tree/master/google-assistant-webserver if anyone is interested in checking it out as a programming example. It seems to be somewhat simpler and written in Python but I will probably never get around to it now that there is a built in option. And this is not any kind of a recommendation or endorsement since I haven't actually tried it.
Just one thing I noticed with the 2023.1 integration. It appears that having IPv6 enabled on the router breaks this version like it did in Assistant Relay. At least it did in my setup.
Yeah, apparently the ipv6 thing is an issue with the SDK. And I've come to accept that Google simply does not fix bugs.
