Hello, great talk ! Is there any tutorials on how to implement notifications ? I can't find any documentation or anywhere on github or on codelabs ?

[@cilvet1]

Awesome presentation!

[@igortceglevskii9069]

Is there any link to sources or documentation from this talk? Cannot find anything about notifications. How to detect a racoon is not a questions. How to notify the user about the racoon?

[@unreadablename]

When will Object Detection be available for usage?

awesome...!!

What happened to google glass?

[@rmjjanssen2645]

Ok, understand the general concept, but how to make the google Assitant to say something when the object is detected?. Or in other words, once the trait is updated in the Home Graph, how to trigger the assisted to say ‘ detected’? Do you need to use routines for this in the home app? Can somebody at google enlight us on this and explain the trick to do it?

[@rmjjanssen2645]

@David Schairer, can you please tell the trick? Thanks!

[@muaazkasker5075]

I am a bit confused, can someone please tell me, maybe I missed it but I can't seem to find in any tutorial at all, how to actually add a device to the homegraph. So if I get a new device, how do I link that. The only thing that I can't figure out

[@davidschairer2616]

If you're building your own SmartHome agent, use the SYNC response to return devices to be added to HomeGraph. See developers.google.com/actions/smarthome/create-app -- there are also examples in public codelabs, see the links page at the end of this presentation.
If you're talking about adding devices through an existing partner/agent -- connect through the Home or Assistant apps under Home Control. If you've connected to a partner and have new devices that haven't shown up automatically, try saying 'sync my devices' to force Sync to occur.

[@muaazkasker5075]

David Schairer oh, I think I get it now, am I correct in saying that If have a companion app for my iot devices, I should call the sync functions from within there, and from there specify the ID, traits etc, based on the data the companion app has? Or am I just lost

Interesting topics but the it seems like the tried to cram in too much.
