[mythtv-users] Controlling MythTV with Google Home

I did start on this. You have to go through Actions by Google.

The problem is there is no centralized server to go through. I could not
find a way to tell Google Assistant what your backend address is. You would
need to expose it outside your router as well.

I could ask it things like 'what's on tonight?' and 'what recorded on
Sunday?'. It was a start, but in a federated environment, not totally
feasible.

Also, they wouldn't approve 'MythTV' as the name of the Actions.
