Google Assistant - Hotword detection - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

Hi,
I have Sony 49XD7005. Is it possible to configure Google Assistant in way If I say OK Google, Google Assistant will listening? It is only working through remote and I want it works like Google Home speaker. So I want to plug in microphone into TV and use it as input.

I am working on this. I am using tasker and the join plugin plus ifttt. I can say a phrase to my google home which is always listening this will use ifttt to send a webhook to join on the tv. I can then use tasker to react to this message. I currently have it launch the Google assistant on the tv so I can say the command directly to the tv...ie change channel etc. Sometimes the google assistant bar comes up at the bottom of the screen but it doesn't activate the microphone and hence gets stuck. I am currently looking for a better way of opening Google assistant I have tried with keyevent 219 which is the number for the assistant button but this does not seem to work. I am open to suggestions.

There is also a way for with IFTTT and Webhook, where some json-body is posted to the tv. It's explained in this video on youtu.be/axj45IBkISg
I've tried it, but not managed it.
Maybe someone else can try and give a report here.

I have been looking into this some more. I am using a Google home mini and have linked this to ifttt that sends a join push using webhook service. Tasker then reacts to the join push using the adb shell plugin that executes input keyevent 219. I needed to run this command via adb as it would not work using terminal emulator alone. The downside to this setup is that I first need to say ok google for the Google home to listen then I have to say another command to send the join message and then say the command to the tv. This way works every time and has stopped the assistant bar from freezing as it was with the previous way. The only way to have the tv always listening is to use autovoice but this uses the microphone built into the remote and will not use the usb microphone I have plugged in. I think the problem with this is it will drain the battery in the remote quite quickly. I did use my android phone to send the join message when my phone opened google assistant as it is always listening. The only problem with this is that all my google devices in the room were listening at once causing some errors.

Hello, You have cool ideas to improve Android TV. I have a problem with Philips 49pus6412. I've been using this tv for two years. Until now, I had a USB microphone connected and everything worked beautifully. Now, after selecting the voice function, it only shows "Press the microphone and start talking" and nothing happens. I currently have TPM171E_R.107.001.101.002 The microphone starts working after a factory reset. And it works until I turn off the tv for tens of minutes. Anyone got any idea?

Bluetooth Headset to launch google Now?

I just got myself a Jawbone ERA, works pretty well, but i;d love it to open google now or voice search via the button, or with some command. Is there a way to enable this on the XS? thanks1
There is an app called Bluetooth Launch that may help you out

I have that installed but it seems to do nothing when set to voice search activity

I would just set it to the Google search activity not voice search also double check that you have Bluetooth bypass checked in your settings under security. Google search"now" should give you the same commands and more than voice search I believe

Did you get this working? I've
1.) Installed the "bluetooth launch" app
2.) Disabled the voice dialer
3.) set bluetooth launch to: a) com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.voicesearchactivity b) com.goog...googlesearch c) com.go...searchactivity
And in each case, I get:
a screen asking if I want to use bluetooth launch or google search (I know that I can permanently set this to search, but won't do so until everything else works consistently)
If I select "google search" I get a screen that says "Say call follow by a name or a number" Although this works fairly well, its not what I'm looking for. I want to be able to activate google now to navigate, play songs, and yes, to dial people.
The "bluetooth launch" app seems like the right app for the job, but "google now" shows up nowhere (that I can find) on it's list of possible actions. We really shouldn't need apps at all. Google now should be on by default, or at least (easily) setup to interact with bluetooth.
I never got anywhere with it in afraid, Google now didn't even seem to listen over bluetooth which is weird

No way to let this function work.

Use Titanium Backup to freeze Voice Dialer (com.android.voicedialer) and set Bluetooth Launcher to launch com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.voivesearchactivity. Set Google Now to use Bluetooth Input. This works for me, my Bluetooth headset launches straight into Google Now Voice Search.

Google now tasker commands

Hi all i don't know if this is the correct place to post this but i am having some issues with google now on the moto 360.
i am using tasker,autovoice and iftt to open my garage door and control my nest thermostat. when using google now on the phone everything works fine. if i say "ok google its hot" it send a sms to iftt then turns the nest on to 65. when i do it on the 360 it just returns google now search results, i have the newest googlenow api,takser. i have never been able to get this to work since day one. Does anyone have any success stories or ideas of what i might be doing wrong?
I control most things in my home using my Moto 360 and google now/voice search. Google Now API + Autovoice + Tasker works 100% of the time for me, but it takes time and a lot of study to get things to work perfectly.
In my setup, a single javascript triggered by Tasker sends the voice command to my HA server for processing. Then my HA server sends an HTTP response that is read back by Tasker. This way I know what's been performed and get a voice confirmation. I can also query states too.
I would carefully read the google now api thread on how to fix your issue (it's been covered there 4--5 times now).

I have tasker and autovoice and google now api working perfect but for some reason it does not recognize my voice commands from moto360, any idea why?
I have the same question.. Does anybody now how to get it work?
Or when dutch voice will be supported
And i heard something about auto wear? What is it and can it do? And where can i download it?
As far as I know, the Google now API on Android Wear devices is kind of locked down right now. The only option I've heard of requires root and an xposed module to get autovoice to recognize commands from the Moto 360. However, if I may be so rude. I'm developing an app called weartasker which might help you out for now. The free version let's you launch 3 tasker tasks from you watch while the pro version of course has some more options, including (basic) OK Google support. It allows you to say "OK Google, start task 1/2/3" to launch a task of your touch. By far not as fancy as the power of full autovoice but it does work right now, please check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuberob.weartasker if you're interested. Hope posting this link in context is oké!
Not yet...
Lots of Google Now commands don't work on Android Wear, Nest appears to be one of them even tho you can now control you Nest with "Ok Google" commands from your phone. I'm sure there is a way to set up a workaround, but as stated in another post it'll take a bit of legwork.

Question for Google Voice users.....

I've had this odd bug every now and then in which my phone automatically dials itself when it connects to the car. You didn't always know it until you tried to play music or something "Hey Google" related and you had no audio feedback.
This would only happen once every few weeks so it wasn't something I was always watching for. It happened again today and found it is related to Google Voice.
If Google Voice is open and in focus/being used when connecting to vehicle Bluetooth the phone will dial itself. It Google Voice is running in the background or opened after the connection three problem doesn't occur
Can anyone that uses Google Voice have the app open and in focus when it connects to your vehicle and see if you get the same self-dialing error?

I get this at least once a week. At first it freaked me out until I realized that it wasn't really making a call. Now I ignore it. I didn't realize it was related to the app being open.

GAssist question for galaxy watch

I installed GAssist. It works great so far.
Thank You Cybernetic87 for your hard work and time put in on this.
The only problem I have is that when asking certain questions it replies with "your assistant needs permission to help you with that".
I can ask how far the moon is or what the weather is some where. I get the answer.
If I ask something like how to cure a bug bite. I get the "your assistant needs permission to help you with that".
I enabled all the permissions on the watch and phone that I could find. What other permissions does it need?
Weird. I just asked my GW the same question and I got the answer. Did your google assistant popped up for some permissions when you 1st tried asking someting? Becasue my did. When you open your assistant setting on your phone, go to Assitant tab. On the bottom there should be 'Assistant devices'. How many there are? There should be your phone, and something like 'galaxy_watch'.
I deleted and added the watch back and now it works. Must just be sensitive.

You can't turn it on by voice - because battery drain -
You can put it on double click. it's very easy
Any possibility to have Bixby pass commands to gassist? If so, maybe it would be possible to launch gassist from Bixby by voice....something like "Hi Bixby...ask Google to [assistant command]"
I know this would have Bixby launch gassist to launch Google assistant cloud ... but if there is no noticible lag, this might work to get to google assistant by voice on our watch.
Hello.
How to remove gassist from Google Assistant and remove Galaxy watch from devices listed in Google Home app? I have removed OAuth APIs and credentials from Google Cloud Console and uninstalled GAssist from watch and phone. Unfortunately Galaxy Watch device is still visible within Google Home and cannot be removed. How to remove it?

Question Getting Alexa to work properly on the Pixel Watch

So I got Alexa working on the watch.
Thanks to the great tool from this thread and a rather old link from reddit (alexa apk) it's on the watch now.
It is connecting to the phone (Pixel 7 Pro) and working.
There are some things not working properly however:
- Voice activation doesn't work (even when the app is opened)
- if you tap to ask something and abort that by closing alexa on the watch, alexa on the phone steps in to announce shes got connection problems.
- you can't set it to be the standard assistant app for the watch, google assistant remains the only option shown
Furthermore, as this is my first smartwatch I am still not too sure about the playstore for it and so on, thus I don't know if the alexa app will update allthough its sideloaded onto the device.
Maybe an update would even cure one or two of the problems?
Has anyone gotten any further than me?
Hi, you can install the Ultimate Alexa app on the Watch and link it to your Amazon account. Works pretty well for me.
