I managed to install the [google assistant](https://github.com/janvda/balena-google-assistant/issues) client software on a raspberry pi 3 with balena. So I turned my pi in a kind of [google home](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Home) smart speaker. The only extra hardware you need is an earphone (or headphone) that you plug into the audio jack of the raspberry pi and a USB microphone (or a USB webcam with microphone) that you plug into one of the USB ports of the pi. All the required balena build files can be found in my github repository: [https://github.com/janvda/balena-google-assistant](https://github.com/janvda/balena-google-assistant). Especially have a look at the [Readme](https://github.com/janvda/balena-google-assistant/blob/master/README.md) of this repository. Feel free to raise any questions or issues with respect to this project as a comment to this forum topic or directly as a [github issue on my repository](https://github.com/janvda/balena-google-assistant/issues). kr Jan ---

I have just released version [v1.1.0](https://github.com/janvda/balena-google-assistant/releases/tag/v1.1.0) This version should make it easier to create the google credentials. More precisely you should no longer manually copy paste the google credentials and store them in the service variable `GOOGLE_ASSISTANT_CREDENTIALS`. This version is backwards compatible with the previous version. So if the credentials are stored in this service variable, then these credentials will still be used as before. ---

google\_assistant /env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/google/auth/crypt/\_cryptography\_rsa.py:22: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: Python 3.5 support will be dropped in the next release of cryptography. Please upgrade your Python. google\_assistant import cryptography.exceptions google\_assistant device\_model\_id: google\_assistant device\_id: google\_assistant google\_assistant ON\_MUTED\_CHANGED: google\_assistant {“is\_muted”: false} google\_assistant ON\_MEDIA\_STATE\_IDLE google\_assistant ON\_START\_FINISHED I get that on the balena dashboard when I started the service however when I say “hey google” or “ok google” nothing happens. I have tried saying either followed by what’s the weather like but I don’t get a response back. I have executed the speaker test and I can confirm they’re working correctly.
