Google Home IP Control?

[JWadle]

Can Google Home control devices such as TVs and AV receivers via IP protocol?

For example I have a TV and ChromeCast Audio connected to my AV receiver. To have GH control TV play or ChromeCast music I need to control the receiver and the TV for power on/off, source selection and volume - both are connected to my network by Ethernet and have IP control protocols.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I developed in my house a complex system. A raspberryPI behind the television that has infrared recording and infrared transmission system. The infrared transmitter is exactly in front of my television. I recorder all command of my remote. After, with Google Home and IFTTT, I change channel on tv by my voice (also power on/off, volume, mute ecc). I also developed a webApp for my smartphone for do all that things also by smartphone.

It's complex, but if you are a programmer or IoT maker (python, php, c++, raspberry ecc) you can do it. If you are interested I will post more detailts.

IFTTT allows for you to add the two following services:

• Google Assistant
• WebHooks

You can talk to Google Assistant to trigger a WebHook, which will allow for get, post, etc commands on the web.
I think this is only internet facing though, so it may not be able to resolve the devices on your local network.
