Google home with Auto Voice - Google Home

I've been able to setup my google home with Autovoice by configuring tasker to locate my phone. I'm interested in knowing if anyone here have some more interesting ways to configure tasked to be used more effectively with google home?

I am using it here in Denmark without any problems. Though I had to change my phone's language from Danish to English ( United States ), to be able to access Assistant Apps.
To be noted, I bought my Home device in the US.

Paid apps do not work (because of licencing issues - no play store/internet connection). We need a plugin to interact with phone side of things or dedicated gear app to apply to the watch itself

Yep, just updating you with status. We'll see what next null rom brings featurewise as it should have native Bluetooth internet
All we need is an app that will send an intent to Tasker over Bluetooth like pebble tasker or pebble glance. It's the Bluetooth communication holding us up. (plus I for one have no idea how to code for android let alone use intents)
What I have found is that some paid apps will work. As an example Busybox Pro, works without a hitch. Same pull/install process as any other apk, until you run across an app that phones home for activation or validation. In the case of Flit keyboard as an example when I contacted them directly about the inability to activate they sent me a pre-activated apk. So it might be worth a shot to email the dev and explain what you are trying to do and they may be cool with figuring out a work around if it means selling more of their apps to the people in the community.

I tried everything I could think of, but doesn't look like auto continuous applies to Bluetooth. Couldn't even get it to work with my car bluetooth

Can we simulate a bluetooth button press?

Google Now can send and receive audio through our Gear. AutoVoice for Tasker can receive voice commands from our Gear as well! This opens up many possibilities! Both programs can be activated with the standard bluetooth button on your everyday headset.. is it possible to simulate this button on our gear? I am thinking our media control program works by simulating hard headset button presses. A program would be fine, but a widget would be ideal! TIA!
Another question. Is a bluetooth headset limited to these 6 button functions? Play/pause, skip, back, volume +/-, and the standard button mentioned above? If not, we can take Tasker automation from gear even further!

..
I've looked into some apps on play store, but nothing seems to work. Can't find any other examples where a headset is actually running android in order to utilise button in this way
brendo now rooted gear and install all, try if Utter or Klets work
This is all I need for a perfect gear !
I have searched ALL day to figure this out, although no luck sadly.
Best way of doing this would have to be using a plugin for tasker, just like atooma uses.
EDIT: We need to figure out how exactly the gear communicates with the phone, if we can manually send a request from the gear to the phone. We could setup a intent listener on tasker and it could execute tasks.
Maybe someone should speak with the dev's of gear getter ? Or ATN ? Figure out how they communicate with the gear ?
Got Google Voice to work from Gear
With Google search 3.1 all you have to do is say "Okay Google". This works for me.
To Launch Google Search from Gear
1) Set Up to recieve Google Notification
2) Open a Google Notification
3) Press Show On Device. This will launch Google Voice Search
4) Say "Okay Google".
Make sure you have "Record Audio through Bluetooth headset if available" checked in Google Voice. Only issue is that if Phone locks. Maybe someone can find a way to get a shortcut for "Show On Device".

That's it exactly. I have no programming talents, but this seems like such a simple - and powerful - solution, not least because it would allow Google Now voice inputs. And the watch is already a BT device, an also an android device. Frankly it's absurd that this wasn't included stock.

[Q] Kit kat update broke Google now hotword detection on moto x

I updated my Moto X to kit kat yesterday and now my hotword detection doesn't work on the home screen or within Google now. I have the nexus 5 home launcher installed and fear it could be part of the issue, but it worked fine in jelly bean so I don't know why it wouldn't work here.

I can safely say it's not the new home launcher. I've been running that for awhile now and both the motorola detection and the google detection work fine (i.e., I can say "okay google now" at any time, or say "okay google" when the device is already woken.)
I haven't done the kit kat upgrade though

It seems that Moto may have deactivated this on purpose to prevent it from interfering with the Touchless Control feature.
Same thing, it was working shortly after the update I believe.

Select the Auto-Update tab from the top and choose one of the auto-update options (we recommend leaving it on “over WiFi-only”). After that, scoot over to the All tab and find English (US). You’ll notice it already says “pre-installed”. Don’t listen to it. Select English (US) anyway. From there, jump to the Installed tab and press “English (US)” where you’ll be asked to download the latest version (version 28 at the time of writing).

Something is definitely broken. The image I included shows Android 4.4 and Android 4.2.2 differences. 4.4 is missing the "Ok" and maybe that is why it doesn't work? It worked fine before and now doesn't. English is my set language and that doesn't fix the problem.
just my 2 cents.

This seems to be a known bug. It will most probably happen again, I updated the Google Play Services to the latest beta and now it's working for two straight days in a row, before, it would stop and go white every one to two days.
anyone got it working?
I've found the setting.
You'll need a launcher such as Nova or use Tasker to send the intent. If using Nova Launcher simply add an Activities widget and select MirrorShare from the activities list. This will create a shortcut on your desktop.
If you want to launch with Tasker send an intent with the following:
ACTION: android.intent.action.VIEW
PACKAGE: com.huawei.android.mirrorshare
CLASS: com.huawei.android.airsharing.player.DeviceListActivity
If anyone would rather just have an apk to do this hit thanks and leave a comment, I'll compile my task into an app and post it here. Cheers!
[EDIT]
:facepalm:
MirrorShare is in the regular settings menu. Doesn't want to connect for me though it could be my TV.

Also mine seems to be limited to Bluetooth conditions only, you may need Bluetooth turned on and paired with something to activate it. If anyone has the old area based Smart Unlock from nougat working I'd love to know. I've built my own version of locale based Smart Unlock in Tasker and it works great. I can dig out my tutorial if you're interested in going down that rabbit hole. I have downloadable links to the tasks/profiles so all the hard work is done. But it does require Tasker and either a little knowledge or willingness to learn.
That would be perfect

Here's the link. I've got a few projects in that thread and the smart unlock is the one linked. Simple download the project file and import it into Tasker. It works better than regular Smart Unlock imo just make sure to
replace the placeholder with your SSID. If you have any questions please post to that thread and I'll answer promptly!

Hm, looks like you're correct. Huawei is odd...
experienced the same issue,after a few days from when I started using the mobile phone, and the only way to get rid of it was to enter in trusted agents, disable Smart Lock, reboot the device, enter in Trusted agents and turn Smart Lock On again. The Smart Lock issue is reported on official google Forum since more than a year on different models (Search for "SOLVED: Smart Lock options missing " on Google Help Forum). As only TEMPORARY solution is reported the trick on Trusted Agents I reported. As I mention it is indicated as temporary solution, since many users experienced this problem again after some time. It is unknown whether someone of the Android Dev Team is working on a fix, or ever heard about it.

Google assistant

Anyone notice on their new pixel that the new assistant is not working? The assistant is Still the old one, which you'd need to keep squeezing or repeat the hey google phrase.
What language are you using? It didn't work for me when set to English (UK), but works when set to English(US). It seems it is limited to English(US) at the moment.
Also cannot be used with a GSuite account, has to be a personal Google account.
I've switch to english US and have always used a personal Gmail account. Not sure why it's not working. Might just wait for google to fix the damn thing.

Oh! My bad. Didn't realize that was necessary. I read gestures and was thinking Motion Sense gestures. [emoji2359]
I know Android is all about options and all and sucks that it's not an option for the button based navigation but why not use gestures? It's very fluid and quick.

Sorry to hijack the thread but is anyone else having issues with the squeeze for assistant feature? Mine seems very temperamental.
If I leave my phone locked for a bit, then lift it, it unlocks and the squeeze is not working. I then have to tap on the power button to lock it again, unlock and it starts working again.
